The model
Read full Jaecoo 7 reviewThe Jaecoo 7 has a smart interior, a generous equipment list and a long warranty. However, it’s poor to drive compared with similarly priced rivals such as the Kia Sportage and MG HS, and the infotainment can be frustrating. For both private and company car buyers, we recommend going for the PHEV version for its competitive pricing and good electric-only range.
The trim
See full equipmentLuxury trim is only available with the four-wheel-drive and PHEV versions. It comes with a larger 14.8in infotainment screen, a head-up display, a heated steering wheel, cooled front seats, heated outer rear seats, rear privacy glass and a Sony sound system.
The engine
See full engine specsThe 1.5T PHEV is a plug-in hybrid, so it combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to produce 201bhp with 0-62mph taking 8.5 seconds. An 18.3kWh battery powers the electric motor to deliver an official electric-only range of 57 miles.
