01 / Technology

A screen that feels like the centre of the cabin.

Keep your compatible apps within easy reach while parked.

02 / Comfort

Fresh air, with a view.

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.

JAECOO 7 synthetic leather comfort seats

03 / Comfort

The seat is worth spending time on.

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.

UK availabilityPetrol · Luxury · Self-charging hybrid · Deluxe · Plug-in hybrid · Luxury · Plug-in hybrid · Black Luxury
Try it on a test drive

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.

JAECOO 7 head-up display on the windscreen

04 / Technology

Useful information closer to your eyeline.

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.

FRONTREARSIDESIDE

05 / Driving

A better view of a tight space.

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.

UK availabilityPetrol · Deluxe · Petrol · Luxury · Self-charging hybrid · Deluxe · Plug-in hybrid · Luxury · Plug-in hybrid · Black Luxury

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.

SELECTEDFOLLOWING GAP

06 / Driving

Help with the pace of the journey.

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.

UK availabilityAll UK versions
Try it on a test drive

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

Bring a favourite track to the test drive.

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.

UK availabilityPetrol · Luxury · Self-charging hybrid · Deluxe · Plug-in hybrid · Luxury · Plug-in hybrid · Black Luxury

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

Space that can change with your plans.

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.

UK availabilityAll UK versions
Try it on a test drive

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.

PETROLDRIVEBATTERYTWO POWER SOURCES. ONE JOURNEY.Plug in to replenish electric range
Club explainer · schematic illustration

09 / Driving

Short electric trips. Petrol for the longer run.

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.

UK availabilityPlug-in hybrid · Luxury · Plug-in hybrid · Black Luxury
Try it on a test drive

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.

FRONT AXLEREAR AXLEDRIVING FORCE TO BOTH AXLES
Club explainer · schematic illustration

10 / Driving

Power to both axles when you need it.

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.

UK availabilityPetrol · Luxury

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.

LET’S UNTANGLE THE BADGES

Same family. Different routines.

Petrol

Fill up with petrol. No charging socket or home charger to plan for.

SHS-H / Hybrid

A petrol-electric hybrid that charges its battery while driving. You don’t plug it in.

SHS-P / Plug-in

Petrol and electric power, with a battery you can charge externally. Think about where you’ll plug in.

E5 / Electric

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.
