The Jaecoo 7 competes with rivals like the Hyundai Tucson (£39,330), BMW X1 (£41,765), and Citroen C5 Aircross (£35,735), offering competitive size and features.
The 4WD petrol version starts at £32,850 and boasts impressive off-road capabilities, with a 600mm wading depth and a 29-degree departure angle, rivaling the more expensive Range Rover PHEV. It features a Bosch ‘Integrated Power Brake’ system that simulates a diff lock with a rapid response time, under 0.1 second.
Buyers can choose between a 1.6-liter petrol engine or a plug-in hybrid with an 18.3kWh battery. The hybrid claims a 56-mile electric-only range and a combined range of 745 miles with a full 60-liter tank—an impressive figure if it holds true.
Inside, you can expect a blend of connectivity, ADAS, high-resolution displays, and a panoramic roof. These features align with the strategy of Chinese automakers to capture the UK market's attention.
Topping it all off, the Jaecoo 7 earned a five-star safety rating and offers a seven-year warranty. It's available for order now, with deliveries starting in the New Year. This SUV could be your next wishlist item.
Summary: Chery's Jaecoo 7 offers a compelling mix of tech, features, and value under £30k. With impressive performance specs and a strong warranty, this SUV is poised to make waves upon its UK debut.
