It’s common knowledge that the ‘S’ in SUV means ‘sports,’ indicative of the active, urban lifestyle synonymous with the bodystyle. Apart from the elevated ride height, appearances matter in projecting that adventurous image and one of the latest models on the road perfectly complements all those aspects, the JAECOO J7 2WD.
A new player in the local motoring scene, the origins of this off-road centric marque itself is a statement of its unwavering intent; fusing the German word ‘Jäger’ and the English word ‘cool.’ For context, ‘Jäger’ translates to ‘hunter.’
Anything on the road denoted by the term ‘cool hunter’ is certainly not one to be trifled with. Furthermore, it vividly captures the marque’s goal of blending urbanism and off-roading with refined style and quality.
The JAECOO J7 2WD is positioned as an entry into J7 ownership, sitting just below the J7 AWD and the recently introduced J7 PHEV.
On paper, the JAECOO J7 2WD packs all the right gear to back up its bold intentions. Under that sleek hood sits a 1.6-litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine with a solid 197 hp and punchy 290 Nm of torque. A Getrag seven-speed dual-clutch transmission channels it all to the front wheels.
Regardless if you’re traversing city streets or swallowing miles of highway, the JAECOO J7 2WD’s spacious and refined interior ensures you do so in comfort.
To keep you connected while on the road, the infotainment comprises a 13.2-inch touchscreen display powered by a Qualcomm 8155 chipset. It supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay with sonorous outputs through a high-fidelity Sony Premium Audio System. Paired with the touchscreen is a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster that allows the driver to govern the JAECOO J7 2WD’s settings.

Adding to occupant comfort are premium features such as ventilated seats, laminated acoustic windscreen, a centre armrest compartment with a chiller, 50W wireless charging, 64-colour ambient lighting, a powered tailgate and a full-length panoramic sunroof that lends an air of spaciousness to the cabin.
Safety is paramount as well and the JAECOO J7 2WD has all the bells and whistles to keep the occupants safe in the event of an untoward incident. Leading the charge to keep it out of any incidents is a suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Integrated Cruise Assist (ICA) and Traffic Jam Assist (TJA).
The JAECOO J7 2WD also carries eight airbags, an electric parking brake with hill hold assist, tyre pressure monitoring systems, driver monitoring systems, speed limit reminder, hill descent control and multi-collision braking.
Appearances may be subjective, but it is impossible to deny the presence and striking silhouette of the JAECOO J7 2WD. That sloping roofline is reminiscence of luxury, further fuelled by the 19-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights and dual-tier sleek LED headlights.
In a sea of SUVs, the JAECOO J7 has rightly been gaining attention and straining necks with those second glances. Not only does it possess all the right criteria as the perfect urban SUV or family mover, it manages to do so in a sophisticated and elegant package that oozes refinement.
If you have been in the market for an SUV or looking to upgrade into something larger, the JAECOO J7 2WD will tick all the boxes on that checklist.
