Blending performance, style, efficiency, and tech in a new premium SUV: JAECOO J7 PHEV: SHS in Malaysia brings plug-in hybrid tech to a new level
When it comes to road trips, finding the right vehicle can be a challenge.
Does it have enough room? Is it comfortable? Can it tackle diverse terrain well? Most importantly, can it go the distance?
If the latter question looms largest in your mind, JAECOO's J7 PHEV SUV, the new premium SUV in Malaysia, might fit the bill. The premium SUV in its petrol engine guise made a splash on Malaysian roads when it debuted in 2024. Less than a year later, the JAECOO J7 PHEV: SHS arrives as an option that's going to be very hard to ignore for those who want to travel further, in comfort and in style.
Going the Distance
The JAECOO J7 PHEV: SHS is a result of the brand's exceptional expertise in hybrid technology. The result is a vehicle that delivers exceptional performance at efficiency levels that will raise eyebrows.
It's powered by a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and 18.3kWh blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, yielding a combined output of 347 PS. While its official WLTP estimated maximum range is a very impressive 1,200km, at recent test drives for Malaysian and Singaporean media traveling from Singapore to Hatyai, Thailand, the SUV managed a mileage of a whopping 1,427km on a single charge and one tank of petrol, well above officially rated range. Fuel consumption was 3.5L/100km, also surpassing its official rating of 6.6L/100km. This broke previous records of 1,353km the JAECOO J7 PHEV achieved in China last year.
Clearly, JAECOO's new premium SUV is engineered to go further than many of its peers in the market.
Super Hybrid System
The JAECOO J7 PHEV: SHS's efficiency is due to the brand's Super Hybrid System (SHS), consisting of its next-generation 1.5L TGDI engine, hybrid transmission, and cutting-edge battery management technology.
The J7 PHEV: Super Hybrid System is first-in-class in Malaysia, providing high thermal efficiency, ultra-long extended mileage, and a next-level battery that's rated IP68—a boon in flood-prone Malaysia.
The SHS allows the vehicle to switch seamlessly between three driving modes that blend electric and petrol modalities, intelligently adapting to terrain and driving conditions so you're always able to handle what's ahead, without sacrificing your mileage or performance.
Made for Malaysian Lifestyles
Malaysians want vehicles that can tackle the unpredictable nature of our roads (potholes), weather (floods), and diverse lifestyles. From grocery runs to school pick-ups, to festive balik kampung trips or cross-country driving, Malaysians appreciate a car that can hold up to the various demands of today's modern road warrior.
The JAECOO J7 PHEV: SHS's pure electric range of an estimated WLTP-rated 88km means you won't spend a sen of petrol during daily commutes. Long-distance endurance drives aren't beyond your reach either. This capable new luxury SUV makes extended adventures on the road possible without burning a hole in your wallet or having to waste time on refuelling stops.
With a long list of creature comforts (ample boot space, ergonomic ventilated seats, top-notch infotainment, fragrance dispenser), a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), impressive tech (the only plug-in hybrid in Malaysia capable of DC quick charging of up to 40kW), this SUV is ready to take you wherever you want to go.
For those who want the best of both worlds—the exceptional efficiency of electric driving with the reliability and convenience of traditional petrol engines—and for those who previously could only dream of taking that road adventure across borders, JAECOO's J7 PHEV: SHS premium SUV in Malaysia opens up a world of possibilities.
