London, 4 September 2025 – JAECOO UK can confirm its JAECOO 7 SHS was the UK’s best-selling plug-in hybrid (PHEV) in August*, according to data from Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). Priced at £35,165 OTR**, the JAECOO 7 SHS comes fully loaded and pairs self-charging hybrid technology with an efficient ICE powertrain to deliver 403 mpg (WLTP) and a 745-mile range.

Developed using third-generation hybrid technology from parent company Chery Group, the JAECOO SHS system has been specifically adapted to meet the needs of the UK market. With the Super Hybrid System (SHS), JAECOO has combined the convenience of fuel with the driving experience of pure electric power in the JAECOO 7 SHS (replacing the existing PHEV tag). The result is a vehicle that offers ultra-high thermal efficiency, ultra-long endurance mileage (745 miles), ultra-low carbon emissions (23 g/km), and class-leading, ultra-high battery safety.

At the end of July, JAECOO confirmed that just seven months since its launch, it had officially surpassed 10,000 orders in the UK, with that figure confirmed to have risen to 12,526* as corroborated by today’s SMMT figures also. Subsequently, as the model that introduced this SHS technology, the JAECOO 7 played a key role in building early momentum for the brand’s entry into the UK – momentum that helped propel JAECOO, together with sister brand OMODA, to a combined 2.96%* UK market share in August 2025, too.

Key to the success is the backing by China’s largest vehicle exporter, Chery International, the extensively researched, UK-optimised product offering, and 81-strong and counting UK-wide dealer network. Commenting on today’s news, Gary Lan, CEO of JAECOO UK, said, “This latest accolade for the JAECOO 7 SHS just goes to show the power of our product, our team and dealer network. Recognition like this further reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality vehicles that meet the needs of drivers across the UK; with powertrains that plug into the specific market and needs of our customers, too.”

The spacious interior of the JAECOO 7 provides a sophisticated ambience with premium-level comfort and technology at its core. The cabin features 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, a SONY 8-speaker audio system, a panoramic roof, heated and cooled seats, plus a full suite of ADAS safety technologies are also included.

The JAECOO 7 starts from just £30,115 OTR**, reaching £35,165 OTR** for the JAECOO 7 SHS. Meanwhile, the hotly anticipated, smaller compact crossover JAECOO 5 is available to order now at £24,505 OTR** in Pure specification, and £28,000 OTR** for the Luxury option. Deliveries for the JAECOO 5 will commence in October, alongside the pure EV JAECOO E5, which will be available from £27,505 OTR**. All JAECOO vehicles have a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty (whichever comes first), with unlimited mileage in the first 3 years, plus an 8-year battery warranty (as appropriate) and RAC home start cover as standard.

London, 31 July 2025 

The JAECOO 7 has officially surpassed 10,000 units ordered in the UK, just seven months after its launch in January 2025. A major milestone that reflects not only strong demand but also JAECOO’s fast-growing presence in the UK, this figure underscores the appetite for the brand’s distinctive combination of rugged luxury, high-end technology and accessible premium appeal.

From the Goodwood Estate to the EPCR rugby tournament final, JAECOO UK has been steadily establishing itself as a name to know. With vehicles that deliver genuine off-road capability alongside refined urban confidence – all framed by JAECOO’s signature waterfall grille and strong design identity – the brand has become increasingly visible across the UK.

The JAECOO 7 was the first model to debut parent company Chery International’s highly coveted Super Hybrid System (SHS) in the UK – an advanced plug-in hybrid platform that maintains battery charge throughout the drive, never allowing it to drop to 0%. As the model that introduced this technology, the JAECOO 7 played a key role in building early momentum for the brand’s entry into the UK – momentum that helped propel JAECOO, together with sister brand OMODA, to a combined 2.1% UK market share in June 2025, outperforming all other OEMs by volume during that period. Just one year earlier, in August 2024, neither brand had officially launched in the UK. This rapid trajectory further reinforces the success of the group’s accessible luxury philosophy, bringing a premium SUV experience to a broader audience.

Gary Lan, CEO of JAECOO UK, said: “To pass 10,000 orders for the JAECOO 7 in just seven months is a clear signal of what’s possible when a new brand combines real product quality with cultural relevance and strategic visibility. We’ve worked hard to make JAECOO a brand people can see, feel and experience – whether at events, on the road, or through our growing retailer network. This is just the beginning.”

Available with two distinct powertrain options – a highly efficient pure petrol engine (available in front or four-wheel drive) or the advanced Super Hybrid System – this dual offering has widened the JAECOO 7’s appeal to a broad range of customers, from urban commuters to families seeking more adventurous versatility.

The JAECOO 7 starts from just £30,115 OTR*, climbing to £35,165 OTR for the SHS.  Meanwhile, the hotly anticipated, smaller compact crossover JAECOO 5 is available to order now at £24,505 OTR* in Pure specification, and £28,000 OTR* for the Luxury option. Deliveries for the JAECOO 5 will commence in October, and a pure EV will also be offered for this model, with more information on that powertrain to be announced in the coming weeks.
