The Malaysian contingent and six other nations has successfully demonstrated that the Jaecoo J7 PHEV model is capable of traveling over 1,300 km on one tank of fuel and a full battery in a marathon event from Guangzhou to Wuhu, China last week.
The 13-hour journey, which began on October 16, witnessed the Jaecoo J7 PHEV achieving an emission-free distance of 125.2 km, or 19.2 km further than the official distance.
According to the specifications, the Jaecoo J7 PHEV is powered by a 1.5-liter TGDi engine with an electric motor, DHT (Dedicated Hybrid Transmission) transmission, and an 18.3 kWh battery pack, offering an electric driving range of 106 km, as well as the best fuel consumption rate in its class, approximately 5.99 liters per 100 km.
According to Jaecoo Malaysia’s Vice President, Emily Lek, “this success proves the excellence of Jaecoo’s Super Hybrid System (SHS) technology, which offers efficient and energy-saving driving and sets a new benchmark for efficient transportation.”
For the local market, the Jaecoo J7 PHEV will be offered in two variants, namely 2WD and AWD.
The 2WD variant comes with the options of Standard, Sport, and Economy driving modes, while the AWD version adds Sand, Mud, Snow, and Off-Road modes.
