Chery is introducing its adventure-focused Jaecoo spin-off brand globally, with the Jaecoo J7 set to launch in Australia as a mid-sized SUV competitor.
The Jaecoo J7 offers four variants in Australia, including an AWD model priced competitively at $42,990 drive-away.
Built on Chery's T1X platform, the Jaecoo J7 features a distinct design and premium interior finishes.
Jaecoo introduces standalone Omoda dealers in Australia, aligning with global markets and offering extended warranties and roadside assistance.
The vehicle boasts a spacious interior with leatherette-trimmed seats, advanced tech features like a 14.8-inch infotainment screen, and driver aids.
Powered by a 1.6L turbo petrol engine and dual-clutch automatic transmission, the Jaecoo J7 provides ample power and efficient driving performance.
On-road, the J7 AWD exhibits decent handling and comfort, while also showcasing off-road capabilities with various driving modes.
Safety features include autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and multiple airbags.
The Jaecoo J7 comes with an eight-year warranty, capped-price servicing, and reasonable service costs over eight years.
Though sharing similarities with the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, the Jaecoo J7 stands out with its premium aesthetics, advanced technology, and competitive pricing.
