Jaecoo Malaysia has successfully commenced deliveries of the first 500 units of the Jaecoo J7 to dealerships nationwide. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the brand, as it comes just weeks after the J7’s official launch. The timely delivery reflects Jaecoo’s commitment to meeting customer demand and building a strong presence in the Malaysian market.
Chery Corporate Malaysia Executive Vice President, Leo Chen stated “It has been a great year for Jaecoo beginning with an exciting preview period which led to an overwhelmingly positive reception during the official launch of the J7. We are very excited to deliver the first 500 units of our J7, and we are equally excited to place customers in the driver’s seat of Malaysia’s hottest premium off-road SUV.”
Powering both two-wheel drive (2WD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) variants of the Jaecoo J7 in Malaysia is a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). This results in a total of 197 hp (metric) and 290 Nm being sent to all four wheels via the brand’s AWD system. The AWD J7 does the century sprint in 9.9 seconds while the 2WD J7 does it in 9.3 seconds.
The initial batch of 500 Jaecoo J7 units will feature an AWD variant. Subsequently, the 2WD variants will be introduced in September. The Jaecoo J7 pricing starts at RM138,800 on the road, without insurance for the 2WD variant, and topped at RM148,800 on the road without insurance for the AWD variant. Both variants come with a 7-year/150,000 km warranty.
