Despite being a relative newcomer to the automotive space, Chinese manufacturer JAECOO is already turning heads with its ability to deliver SUVs with premium features at affordable prices
JAECOO now aims to make its mark in Malaysia with the J7, a luxury-level SUV with advanced features to make every ride — even off-road trips on the most challenging terrain — a comfortable one.
The JAECOO J7 is a multipurpose SUV built for comfort and adventure, making it ideal for Malaysians who enjoy urban or off-road driving without sacrificing luxury
With Malaysia featuring so many diverse locations with numerous terrain types, adventurous drivers will want a reliable companion that can do it all.
Want to stray into the forests for an early morning hike in at Broga Hill before enjoying a comfortable commute to Bangsar for your favourite Banana Leaf Rice? No problem!
This is thanks to the J7's all-wheel-drive variant and seven driving modes, which promises you a smooth drive no matter where you go in Malaysia.
Here are some of the specs at a glance:
- Engine: 1.6 litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine (194 hp)
- Transmission: Seven-speed dual-clutch
- Vehicle size: 4,500mm (length) x 1,865mm (width), x 1,680mm (height), 2,672mm (wheelbase).
- Ground clearance: 200mm
- Maximum towing capacity: 1,350kg
- Roof load capacity: 75kg
- Boot space: 424 litres
The roomy, luxurious interior of the JAECOO J7 provides a first-rate cabin experience that enhances every journey
The large infotainment screens (14.8 inch for AWD/13.2 inch for 2WD) and advanced 540-degree camera system both give you a clear view of your surroundings, making it easier to navigate challenging spots when you negotiate narrow lanes in Kuala Lumpur or tricky routes when visiting Cameron Highlands for the weekend.
When the humidity and heat starts to climb, the J7's ventilated seats help provide much-needed cooling to keep you cool and dry.
There's also the windshield heads-up display (W-HUD), which provides an optimal viewing angle in line with the driver's sitting position, while the inclusion of Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a large panoramic sunroof make for a liberating driving experience.
If you're all about aesthetics, the J7 boasts a sleek and fashionable design, even with its tough features, which makes it ideal for luxurious getaways and commutes to trendy events.
If you're keen to personally experience these features and more, JAECOO will be officially launching the J7 SUV in Malaysia from 20 to 21 July
Malaysia will be the first Southeast Asian country to welcome the J7, and in a pretty grand way.
From 20 to 21 July, JAECOO will host a two-day launch event at the KL Base, Sungai Besi where you'll get the opportunity to test-drive the vehicle for yourself.
There will also be immersive and experiential sessions that will showcase the J7's suite of features, including the ability to seamlessly switch between seven different driving modes and provide absolute comfort with its high-tech cabin features.
Additionally, there will be other fun family activities to enjoy during the weekend, and you’ll also stand a chance to win JAECOO goodies while stocks last.
If you're keen to be among the first in Southeast Asia to experience the J7 in person, you can register for the launch event happening from 20 to 21 July here
