Malaysia Previews The JAECOO J7 PHEV Ahead Of Year-end Launch
Malaysia has become one of seven nations to put the JAECOO J7 PHEV to the test in an ultra-long range driving marathon from Guangzhou to Wuhu, China. Along with Malaysia, a multinational contingent comprising Italy, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom, travelled over 1,300km* on a single tank of fuel and a full battery without stopping to recharge.
“We understand that range anxiety is a concern among drivers when it comes to electric vehicles. This is why JAECOO placed the J7 PHEV in the hands of drivers from around the world to witness the unprecedented experience of travelling with confidence and peace of mind. Our strategy to introduce the JAECOO J7 PHEV is timely as the market demands the best of both worlds, engine performance and fuel efficiency,” said Chery Corporate Malaysia Executive Vice President, Leo Chen.
Breaking The Boundaries Of The Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHEV) Range
The 13-hour drive from Guangzhou began on 16 October 2024 and saw the multinational contingent navigate various driving environments including traffic congestion during morning rush hour, national roads, and intercity expressways. On paper, the JAECOO J7 PHEV has a class-leading pure electric range of 106km* and the lowest fuel consumption in its class, at 5.99 litres per 100km, in a power-depleted state.
JAECOO Malaysia Vice President, Emily Lek pointed out, “During the ultra-long range driving marathon, the JAECOO J7 PHEV surpassed its specifications to achieve a range of 125.2km while in pure-electric mode, which is 19.2km* more than the expected range. This is a testament to JAECOO’s Super Hybrid System (SHS) Technology which empowers the JAECOO J7 PHEV to maintain an efficient and energy-saving driving state. This raises the bar for energy efficient and economical mobility, and we are proud to introduce the JAECOO J7 PHEV for the Malaysian market to enjoy.”
