J7 in 2026 — what's new
For Malaysia, the J7 carries on into 2026 as a three-variant range: FWD, AWD and PHEV. The wider J7 story is still moving, with exports to Brunei starting in 2026, a J7 Hybrid shown in China with an SHS-H turbo system rated at 224 PS and 295 Nm, and Thailand getting 2026 PHEV changes such as new wheels and a brown interior option. Malaysia has no confirmed equivalent update.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers who cannot plug in regularly should start with the FWD at RM138,800: it uses the same 1,598 cc petrol engine, 194 hp output, wet dual-clutch automatic and five-seat layout as the AWD. The AWD at RM148,800 is for those who want all-wheel drive. If you can plug in, the PHEV at RM158,800 is the stronger case: the RM10,000 over the AWD buys the plug-in hybrid powertrain and up to 1,200 km on a full tank and charge.

Omoda Jaecoo J7 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The J7 is not a budget C-SUV: Proton X70 and Jetour Dashing both start at RM106,800, while the Mazda CX-5 and Nissan X-Trail also open below it. It does give Jaecoo a quick Malaysian foothold, with the J7 becoming a sales hit and Omoda Jaecoo Malaysia crossing 20,000 deliveries in just over a year. The best case is the PHEV’s efficiency; the price is the sticking point against cheaper rivals.
