UK MODEL GUIDE / 6 VERSIONS
One model, three ways to power it. Choose the engine type first, then the trim.
THE FEATURES, EXPLAINED
Petrol Deluxe and hybrid Deluxe are different specifications. Choose your full version below to see the features that belong to it.
10 features explained · UK specifications checked 3 October 2026
01 / Technology
Every UK version supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Petrol Deluxe and SHS-H Pure use a 13.2-inch screen; the other versions step up to 14.8 inches.
Keep your compatible apps within easy reach while parked.
Pair your phone and try the screen in bright daylight.
The photograph shows the larger 14.8-inch screen. Interior layout varies by powertrain.
02 / Comfort
The panoramic sunroof has an opening front section and a powered sunshade. It adds daylight for passengers and the option of ventilation when conditions suit.
An open, airy feel on the right day.
Try opening and closing the roof, then check rear headroom.
Not listed for SHS-H Pure. This differs from the fixed glass roof on the 5 family.
03 / Comfort
These versions add front-seat ventilation and extra powered comfort adjustments, including lumbar support. Heated front seats are also fitted.
Find support for longer journeys and comfort for different seasons.
Spend a few minutes adjusting the lumbar support. A quick sit is not a proper seat test.
Petrol Deluxe also has heated front seats, but does not get this full ventilation package.
04 / Technology
The head-up display projects driving information onto the windscreen. It gives you another way to check information without looking down at the instrument panel.
A handy extra when the display position suits you.
Check the height, clarity and visibility through your normal sunglasses.
Display graphics are illustrative; keep your attention on the road.
05 / Driving
Cameras combine views around the car to help you judge parking spaces and nearby obstacles. The “540°” name includes a simulated view beneath the car; it is not a camera that sees through the floor.
More context when positioning a family SUV.
Compare the different camera views during a parking demonstration.
A parking aid, not a replacement for looking around. Camera views have blind spots; dirt and poor light can reduce visibility. SHS-H Pure is not listed with this camera system.
06 / Driving
Adaptive cruise control can adjust your speed to help maintain a selected gap to traffic ahead. On a long motorway run, that means less constant pedal adjustment.
Assistance across all six UK versions.
Learn the controls on a supervised test drive.
You remain responsible for steering, braking and watching the road. Assistance has operating limits; check the handbook.
07 / Technology
An eight-speaker Sony system and a cooled wireless charging pad are included on these versions. The charger is rated up to 50 W with suitable devices.
A tidier console and a cabin soundtrack worth trying.
Try the audio with spoken words as well as music.
Petrol Deluxe also has the wireless charger, but not the Sony audio package. Device limits affect charging speed.
08 / Everyday
Split-folding rear seats let you trade some passenger space for luggage length. Most versions also have a power tailgate, saving a manual lift at the boot.
Useful flexibility for family life.
Bring bulky everyday items and try the rear-seat folding mechanism.
Power tailgate is not listed for SHS-H Pure. Boot capacity differs by powertrain; the photograph illustrates the petrol model.
09 / Driving
The SHS-P combines an 18.3 kWh rechargeable battery with a petrol engine. You can plug it in to replenish electric range, while the hybrid system manages the two power sources.
A way to fit electric driving into a mixed weekly routine.
Work out where you would regularly charge, rather than treating the cable as boot decoration.
Manufacturer claim: up to 56 electric miles WLTP. Real range varies. SHS-H is a different hybrid and does not plug in.
10 / Driving
Petrol Luxury is the AWD choice in the UK JAECOO 7 range. All-wheel drive can distribute driving force across the front and rear axles when conditions demand it.
Extra traction capability for suitable conditions.
Discuss your usual routes and tyre needs with the retailer.
The other current UK 7 versions are front-wheel drive. AWD does not shorten braking distances or remove grip limits.
No features in this category for that version. Try another category or reset the filters.

LET’S UNTANGLE THE BADGES

A petrol-electric hybrid that charges its battery while driving. You don’t plug it in.
Petrol and electric power, with a battery you can charge externally. Think about where you’ll plug in.
Battery power only. Home or public charging replaces the petrol station routine.
FWD = front-wheel drive. AWD = all-wheel drive. Trim names repeat across powertrains, so always check the complete version.
