Which variant to buy
Most buyers who can charge at home or work should pick the RM158,800 PHEV. The RM10,000 step up from the RM148,800 AWD brings plug-in hybrid power and 342 hp, though it is front-wheel drive. Choose the RM138,800 FWD if the lowest purchase price matters most; it has the same 194 hp as the AWD. The AWD costs RM148,800 and is for buyers who specifically want all-wheel drive. On paper, check the equipment list before paying more.

Omoda Jaecoo J7 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The J7 has quickly become a strong seller, and its three-powertrain range gives it a broader brief than a petrol-only C-segment SUV. The PHEV is the headline act, with a quoted ability to travel up to 1,200 km on a tank of petrol and battery charge. But the entry J7 costs more than the Mazda CX-5 and Toyota Corolla Cross, so the powertrain choice and equipment list need to justify that extra outlay.
