- 2025 Jaecoo J7 pricing and specifications
- Front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and plug-in hybrid power available
- 'SHS' Plug-in hybrid J7 Summit priced at $47,990 drive-away
- Range priced from $34,990 drive-away
Jaecoo – a subsidiary of Chinese car giant Chery – is launching in Australia with its first model, the J7 mid-sized SUV.
Closely related to the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro – as well as models such as the Tiggo 4 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro – the Jaecoo J7 is pitched as a more luxurious alternative to Chery cars, with 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol and 1.5-litre petrol plug-in hybrid power.
But it is still priced from $34,990 drive-away, well undercutting rivals such as the Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5.
Jaecoo arrives in Australia with an eight-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and will follow the J7 with a wider range of models – including the larger J8 SUV – in the coming months.
In terms of size, the Jaecoo J7 is classed as a medium-sized SUV with five seats and an overall length of 4500mm – slightly shorter than a RAV4 (4600-4615mm).
The Jaecoo J7 will be offered in four variants, opening with the front-wheel drive petrol-powered J7 Core – powered by a 137kW/275Nm 1.6-litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine matched with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for claimed fuel use of 7.0L/100km.
Stepping up to the Track specification keeps the 1.6-litre engine and front-wheel drive layout, but adds features such as a 360-degree camera, powered tailgate and rain-sensing wipers.
The J7 Ridge is the only all-wheel drive model in the line-up, and includes a higher level of standard equipment.
This model also gets a clutch-based torque-vectoring rear differential, as well as additional off-road driving modes, and a full-sized spare – at the cost of boot space, which drops from 424 litres to 340 litres.
At the top of the range is the plug-in hybrid J7 Summit, with a powertrain the brand markets as the 'Super Hybrid System' – and a $47,990 drive-away price that makes it the second-most affordable PHEV on sale.
Offered only with front-wheel drive, the Summit is rated for an electric-only driving range of 90km in NEDC lab testing, as well as a 1200km range in hybrid mode.
The 2025 Jaecoo J7 is due to go on sale in Australia on May 6, with stock arriving in dealerships around the country in the days beforehand.
