JAECOO 7 — Express Vehicle Contracts Car of the Year
Before choosing our Car of the Year, we turned to the people who know our vehicles best — the Express Vehicle Contracts team who work hands-on with our customers, suppliers and fleet every single day. From our sales consultants to our product specialists, we gathered real-world insight from the staff who see how each model performs on delivery day, how customers react once the keys are handed over, and which vehicles continue to impress long after they hit the road.
Their honest feedback, industry knowledge and daily experience played a defining role in shaping our decision — and when it came to the JAECOO 7, the enthusiasm was unmistakable.
One member of our team summed it up perfectly:
“For something to land in the marketplace from China and outsell traditionally popular vehicles in this segment is remarkable. Great looking vehicle, amazing specification as standard and topped off with a build quality up there with German brands — it’s been a real winner for me.”
Let’s take a closer look at what makes the JAECOO 7 such a standout success.
Standout Performance and Powertrain Choice
The JAECOO 7 delivers impressive versatility thanks to its range of refined powertrain options. The 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine offers smooth and confident performance, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations — ideal for drivers who want assured handling and composed motorway cruising.
For those seeking efficiency without compromise, the 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid Super Hybrid System provides a powerful combined output alongside an electric-only driving range designed for urban commutes and everyday journeys. It gives drivers the flexibility to lower emissions and fuel consumption while still enjoying strong acceleration and refined drivability.
Whether navigating busy city streets or heading further afield, the JAECOO 7 balances power, smoothness and sophistication beautifully.
Spacious, Practical and Ready for Real Life
Designed as a practical five-door SUV with generous seating for five, the JAECOO 7 blends everyday usability with weekend versatility. Its well-proportioned wheelbase supports a comfortable and roomy cabin, giving passengers excellent head and legroom while maintaining a sleek, confident exterior stance.
The boot space provides impressive flexibility for shopping trips, luggage, family gear or work equipment, expanding even further when the rear seats are folded. It’s an SUV that adapts around life — not the other way around.
Premium Tech, Comfort and Features as Standard
Step inside the JAECOO 7 and you’re met with a cabin that feels modern, luxurious and thoughtfully equipped. Large digital displays, including a fully-digital driver cluster and sleek central infotainment screen, create a refined and immersive driving environment.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, heated front seats and optional panoramic roof features contribute to a premium feel normally associated with higher-priced rivals. With 360-degree camera systems and a suite of driver-assistance enhancements, the JAECOO 7 brings technology, comfort and convenience together effortlessly.
Confident Drive Modes and Intelligent Capability
The JAECOO 7 is engineered to adapt confidently to changing conditions and driving styles. Multiple driving modes — including Economy, Sport and terrain-focused settings such as Sand, Mud and Snow — allow drivers to fine-tune traction and responsiveness when needed.
Its intelligent all-wheel drive system reacts quickly to varying surfaces, delivering reassuring stability whether cruising the motorway, tackling unpredictable weather or heading off the beaten track. It’s a vehicle that inspires confidence at every turn.
Why the JAECOO 7 Is Our Car of the Year
Beyond the numbers, features and technology, the JAECOO 7 has reshaped expectations in its segment. It combines bold design, a high-quality interior, genuine powertrain choice and an exceptional specification — all wrapped in a value-driven package that few competitors can match.
At Express Vehicle Contracts, we see thousands of vehicles pass through our fleet — and when a model delivers strong demand, consistent quality and outstanding customer satisfaction, it stands apart.
The JAECOO 7 isn’t just successful in sales; it succeeds in creating excitement, confidence and everyday usability for the people who drive it.
