Introducing the new JAECOO 7
Sitting above the compact JAECOO 5 as the largest SUV in the brand’s line-up, the JAECOO 7 is well worth a look if you’re in the market for something tough and efficient that also feels upmarket.
In a world of SUVs, the JAECOO 7 is one that truly delivers, with a level of refinement that’s hard to find at its price point. It's designed with versatility in mind and slots neatly into everyday life, whether that’s the school run, a long motorway drive, or an off-road adventure.
Add in a long list of clever technology, the latest active safety systems, and impressive build quality, and you've got a truly capable SUV that feels luxurious and practical, without the high price tag that you'd expect.
Design and Practicality
The JAECOO 7 has real road presence, thanks to its sharp, angular bodywork, LED daytime running lights, and JAECOO's large signature front grille. At the back, the 'Crystal Array' LED taillights are a standout feature, lighting up the night with a distinctive glow that sets it apart from the usual suspects in the SUV crowd.
19-inch alloys are also standard on the 7, which not only look good, but also help with brake cooling and improve efficiency. A hands-free boot is also available, which is helpful when your arms are full of shopping or camping gear, and the flush-fitting door handles add a touch of class to the exterior.
Both rows of seats offer plenty of headroom and legroom, so even taller passengers won’t feel cramped on long drives. The 410-litre boot is large enough to swallow prams, sports equipment, or a family’s worth of holiday luggage without breaking a sweat. Need more practicality? The rear seats fold down with ease for an impressive 1,335 litres of space.
Technology and Safety
The interior of the JAECOO 7 feels well made and premium. The materials are solid, the fit and finish are excellent, and the layout is intuitive enough that you’ll feel at home in no time.
Even the base Deluxe trim comes loaded with kit, such as a massive panoramic sunroof that floods the cabin with light, heated front seats for the cold mornings, and a 50W wireless phone charger that keeps your device cool while it powers up. You also get a 13.2-inch portrait touchscreen that's crisp and responsive, and a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display that puts all the important info right where you need it.
Safety-wise, the JAECOO 7 is a star performer, boasting a five-star Euro NCAP rating. It’s kitted out with all the essentials, including:
- Lane Departure Warning
- Autonomous Emergency Braking
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Driver Monitoring System
Engines and Performance
Powering the JAECOO 7 is a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine, kicking out 145bhp and 203lb ft of torque. It’s got enough power to make motorway driving a breeze, yet it’s frugal enough to manage up to 37mpg on the combined cycle. There's also a plug-in hybrid SHS version if you want something a little more economical.
The Deluxe model comes with front-wheel drive, which is plenty for most, but the Luxury trim offers all-wheel drive for extra grip in unpredictable weather conditions or on trickier terrain. With seven driving modes to choose from (including a Sand mode for the all-wheel drive version) you can tailor the car’s behaviour to suit whatever the road throws at you.
The suspension is set up to smooth out rough roads, so potholes and uneven surfaces still feel steady and controlled, and the steering is nicely balanced, making it easy to guide the car through corners with confidence.
