JAECOO PHEV Delivers The Best of Both Worlds Backed By Super Hybrid System Technology

FIRST LOCALLY ASSEMBLED JAECOO J7 PHEV ROLLS OFF PRODUCTION LINE AHEAD OF LAUNCH

Malaysia can expect to see a new Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) SUV in the hybrid vehicle segment by the end of February 2025. Ahead of this official launch, JAECOO, Malaysia’s challenger premium off road SUV brand, has revealed that its first locally assembled JAECOO J7 PHEV has in fact started rolling off the production line at its Shah Alam facility.


"We believe the JAECOO J7 PHEV fits in perfectly with the market’s appetite for an alternative between the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and Electric Vehicle (EV) segments providing the best of both worlds with its superior Super Hybrid System fondly known as SHS. As Malaysia’s EV ecosystem continues to develop, JAECOO is happy to offer greater peace of mind to consumers considering the transition to hybrid energy mobility. Beyond delivering a great premium SUV, our JAECOO network is also equipped and ready to care for our PHEV customers which is key to the longevity of their ownership journey with JAECOO," said JAECOO Malaysia Vice President, Emily Lek.

The JAECOO J7 PHEV is said to offer the best of both worlds with greater engine performance compared to pure ICE or fully electric vehicles. Owing to its Super Hybrid System technology, the J7 PHEV is the first in its class by delivering superior performance in terms of its pure electric range, energy consumption and endurance compared to contemporaries in the same class. On paper, the JAECOO J7 PHEV has a class-leading pure electric range of 106km (NEDC range) and the lowest fuel consumption in its class, at 5.99 litres per 100km, in a power-depleted state.

Most recently, the J7 PHEV was tested in a long-distance drive from Singapore to Hatyai, Thailand and clocked over 1,200km WLTP range. The WLTP range is the maximum distance an EV will travel on a single charge, based on a standardised test.
