JAECOO 7 crowned the UK’s top-selling Chinese car for October

 Less than a year after its official UK debut, JAECOO UK has announced that the JAECOO 7 was the best-selling Chinese car in the UK for October, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

With 2,611 units sold last month, the JAECOO 7 became the only model from a Chinese OEM to secure a place in the UK’s overall top ten — marking a huge milestone for the fast-rising brand. Since its launch in January 2025, more than 20,000 JAECOO 7s have already found homes across the country. 

A Milestone Moment for JAECOO 

This achievement represents the first time JAECOO has led the UK’s new car registration chart for Chinese manufacturers, underscoring the brand’s rapid rise and strong market presence in the UK SUV scene. The JAECOO 7’s distinctive design, hybrid efficiency, and premium-level specification have made it a standout choice for British buyers seeking modern style and performance without compromise.

Commenting on the success, Gary Lan, CEO of JAECOO UK, said:

“To become the UK’s best-selling Chinese car last month is an extraordinary milestone for JAECOO and a clear signal of the confidence British drivers have in our brand. The JAECOO 7 has struck a chord with customers who want standout design, exceptional quality and efficient hybrid performance in one distinctive SUV. We’re proud of how far we’ve come in such a short time – and this result only motivates us to deliver even more choice, technology and value as we expand our line-up.”   

Building on Award-Winning Momentum 

The JAECOO 7’s success adds to a growing list of accolades, including its Overall Car of the Year win at the 2025 Leasing.com Awards, and the JAECOO 7 SHS taking the title of the UK’s best-selling plug-in hybrid (PHEV) in August.

The expanding JAECOO range now includes the fully electric JAECOO E5 and the pure-petrol JAECOO 5, giving customers even more choice to suit their lifestyle and driving needs. 

Conclusion 

 In under 12 months, JAECOO has gone from newcomer to serious contender — proving that British buyers are ready to embrace bold new options in the SUV space. With record-breaking sales, expanding dealer coverage, and a growing line-up of electrified and efficient vehicles, JAECOO’s journey in the UK is only just getting started.
