Well, we\u2019ve compiled a list of its background and history, plus what\u2019s to come from this relatively new car brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is Jaecoo?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Jaecoo](\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1.-hero_JAECOO-7-SHS-1024x683.jpg\")
The 7 aims to bring lots of technology and features for the money <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJaecoo is a Chinese car manufacturer that sells petrol and electrified SUVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like with many Chinese firms, its goal is to produce cars by undercutting the competition on price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might ask, what does Jaecoo mean? The name Jaecoo is a combined word, with the first half standing for the German phrase \u2018Jaeger\u2019 \u2013 which means hunter \u2013 and the second half being the English word \u2018Cool\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That might sound like an odd combination, but Jaecoo<\/a> means \u2018hunter cool\u2019, giving the brand an identity that it produces stylish and cool vehicles that are also capable of being rough and tough SUVs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nIs it owned by anyone?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Omoda](\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/OMODA-9-press-pack-4-1024x683.jpg\")
Omoda can be seen as the sister brand to Jaecoo <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJaecoo was founded in 2023, and although that feels very recent, it\u2019s actually owned by one of China\u2019s largest vehicle manufacturers \u2013 Chery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, you won\u2019t find any Jaecoo badged cars anywhere in China. In fact, Jaecoo is an export brand for Chery, to help with the company\u2019s export expansion programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s the same scenario with the new Chinese firm, Omoda<\/a>. Omoda and Jaecoo are actually in conjunction with each other, however, Omoda focuses on sleeker and sportier SUVs, while Jaecoo is a producer of bigger and more premium models. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat cars does it sell?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Jaecoo](\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jaecoo-J7-Press-Pack-91-1024x683.jpg\")
The 7 is available with plug-in hybrid and petrol engines <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThere is only one Jaecoo currently on sale here in the UK and that is the 7 SUV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 7 rivals the likes of the Kia Sportage<\/a> and Nissan Qashqai<\/a> and is available with a choice of petrol and plug-in hybrid powertrains.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe former is a 1.6-litre turbocharged unit that produces a total of 145bhp and 275Nm of torque. The car can accelerate from 0-60mph in 10.1 seconds and will reach a top speed of 112mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latter\u2019s plug-in hybrid setup comes with a smaller 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine mated to an electric motor and 18.3kWh battery pack that produces a combined 201bhp and 525Nm of torque. Meanwhile, Jaecoo claims that this variation can travel up to 56 miles on electric power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to pricing, the 7 undercuts almost all of the competition, with the standard petrol car starting at \u00a330,115 for the entry-level Deluxe and includes lots of equipment, including heated front seats, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and a six-speaker audio system. The flagship Luxury comes in at \u00a333,945 and features all-wheel drive, a head-up display, a larger 14.8-inch screen and heated outer rear seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The PHEV variant comes with the same amount of standard equipment and is priced from \u00a335,165.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What does the future hold for Jaecoo?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Jaecoo](\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Jaecoo-J7-Press-Pack-166-1024x683.jpg\")
All Jaecoo cars get plenty of technology<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe company plans to introduce new models to its line-up of vehicles, kicking off this year with the new 5 SUV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 5 will sit below the larger 7 in the range and will feature a choice of petrol and electric powertrains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The petrol model comes fitted with a 1.6-litre turbocharged unit, however, the electric version’s powertrain hasn\u2019t been revealed at this stage and will be the firm\u2019s first EV offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 5 will rival cars such as the Ford Puma<\/a> Gen-E, Suzuki<\/a> e-Vitara and Jeep Avenger<\/a> when it goes on sale later this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe good news is that you\u2019ll find Jaecoo\u2019s current core model – the 7 – available to buy here at UK CarLine<\/a>, though if you\u2019d rather an alternative, then check through our current stock to see our broad range of available vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
