Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia has announced that over 800 Jaecoo J7 PHEVs have been registered in the country since its February launch. The company recently held a handover event for 100 buyers. “We honour our early adopters and look forward to delivering many more units of the Jaecoo J7 PHEV to discerning households looking for a premium SUV that can go the distance,” Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia VP Emily Lek said. “With a full tank of fuel and a fully-charged battery, owners can easily travel over 1,300 km (NEDC) without having to stop to refuel or recharge. The J7 PHEV represents the best of both worlds – allowing fully-electric driving in the city with an exceptional all-electric range of 106 km (NEDC) and a highly-efficient journey on long-distance drives,” she added. The RM159k Jaecoo J7 PHEV is Malaysia’s cheapest plug-in hybrid by miles (the next cheapest is the Volvo S60 T8 Recharge, which costs twice as much). A 143 PS/215 Nm 1.5 litre turbo four-cylinder engine, a 204 PS/310 Nm electric motor and a one-speed dedicated hybrid transmission altogether give you 347 PS and 525 Nm of torque.
