Last October, the Jaecoo J7 PHEV demonstrated its capacity to travel more than 1,300 km on a full tank of fuel and battery during a marathon event from Guangzhou to Wuhu, China.

This time around, the SUV once again showcased the prowess of its Super Hybrid System by successfully completing a long-distance course from Singapore, through Malaysia to Hatyai, Thailand a on a single tank of petrol and charge.

The three-day journey saw five units of the J7 PHEV surpass the 1,200 km WLTP range, with the longest range recorded at 1,427.5 km.

According to Jaecoo Malaysia, 947 km was covered purely on petrol, while 108 km was achieved using electric power, which is 18 km more than its specifications.

Fuel consumption was reported at 3.5 l/100 km, significantly lower than Jaecoo’s stated figure of 6.6 l/100 km.

“We are incredibly proud to finally demonstrate the Jaecoo J7 PHEV’s performance to the local market. It has truly exceled when put to the test during the course of this journey, a testament to the Jaecoo brand promise of delivering best-in-class vehicles.

“In addition to being the only PHEV with a direct current (DC) charging capability, our Super Hybrid System technology is the first in its class here in Malaysia. We are excited for our customers to enjoy the benefits of the Jaecoo J7 PHEV very soon,” said Emily Lek, Vice President of Jaecoo Malaysia.

Set for its Malaysian launch this February, the J7 PHEV is powered by a combination of a 1.5-litre TGDI engine, a single-speed DHT hybrid transmission, and an 18.3 kW LFP Blade battery that delivers a total power output of 347 PS (255 kW) and 525 Nm of torque.

The battery supports AC charging at 6.6 kW, enabling it to charge from 30% to 80% in three hours, and DC charging at 40 kW, which requires only 20 minutes for the same charge.

Alternatively, owners can use a 230 V three-pin home socket, which takes approximately 8.5 hours for a full charge.
