RM138,800–RM158,800 · est. from RM1,415/mo
Which variant to buy
The PHEV at RM158,800 is the pick for most buyers: the RM10,000 step up from the AWD buys a 342 hp plug-in-hybrid system rather than the petrol cars’ 194 hp 1.6-litre powertrain. Choose the RM148,800 AWD if all-wheel drive matters more than the hybrid system. The RM138,800 FWD is the entry point and retains 194 hp, front-wheel drive and the wet dual-clutch automatic. All are five-seat SUVs.

Omoda Jaecoo J7 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The J7’s appeal is straightforward: a C-segment SUV with a rugged, premium-leaning design, three distinct drivetrains and five seats. The PHEV has the strongest case on paper, pairing 342 hp with a range of up to 1,200 km from a tank of petrol and battery charge. The petrol FWD and AWD are simpler choices, but their shared 194 hp leaves a sizeable performance gap to the hybrid.
