Jaecoo, which makes premium SUVs, will make its European public debut at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed on 11-14 July.

Jaecoo is part of Chery and, like Omodo, an export only brand. The 7 is a rebadged Chery Tansuo 06.

Offered with 2WD and 4WD, the 7 is powered by a 1.6 litre turbocharged four cylinder petrol engine with Getrag seven speed dual clutch transmission. Plug in hybrid and all electric variants will follow.

It has a 600 mm wading depth and seven driving modes, including sand, mud, snow and off-road settings.

A Bosch-developed integrated power brake system on 4WD models simulates a differential lock with enhanced and faster locking capability.

The cabin has a 14.8” high-resolution touchscreen alongside a 10.25” LCD instrument panel and a head-up display (HUD). Multi-colour interior lighting options, 50w wireless mobile phone charging, eight speaker Sony audio system, a panoramic roof, and a full suite of ADAS safety technology is also included.

The vehicle is 4,500mm long on a 2,672mm wheelbase and is 1,865 mm wide and 1,680 mm high.

It will come with a seven year/100,000 mile manufacturer’s warranty as standard in the UK.

The two brands will launch through 70 jointly branded and franchised dealer sites operated by large established dealer groups, set to increase to 100 by the end of the year.

First UK deliveries are expected late in 2024.
