We have Jaecoo J7 SA pricing on the occasion of model’s local introduction. Jaecoo is not a name most people will recognise. However, many may know Chinese carmaker Chery. The latter has been a regular feature on the sales charts with its SUV products, the Tiggo 4, 7 and 8. Jaecoo is the second new nameplate added to the Chery portfolio after Omoda.

Family-sized

Jaecoo enters the local market with the J7. This mid-size SUV measures 4 500 mm in length, 1 865 mm in width and 1 680 mm high. Those dimensions place it in the same bracket as the Hyundai Tucson, VW Tiguan and co. The J7’s appearance will be a strong drawcard for buyers. We’ve heard and read many people use the term ‘Range Rover’ when referring to its looks.

Buyers can expect plenty of standard equipment included in the list price. Included will be LED lights front and back, alloys wheels, a powered tailgate, powered seats, a panoramic camera and a high-powered sound system among others.

Three Options

The Jaecoo J7 will be available in three derivatives: Vortex, Glacier and Inferno. A 1,6-litre turbopetrol engine is used across the range. It produces 145 kW of power and 290 N.m of torque This is the same engine that powers the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max derivatives. A seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is the only option. Vortex and Glacier derivatives are front-wheel-drive while the range-topping J7 Inferno has all-wheel-drive.
