THE first locally assembled Jaecoo J7 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) units recently rolled off the production line at its Shah Alam facility.Ahead of its expected launch this month, the J7 PHEV features a superior Super Hybrid System that meets the local market’s demand for an alternative to internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicles (EV).
Jaecoo Malaysia vice-president Emily Lek said the company’s products promises greater peace of mind to consumers adapting to hybrid mobility as the country’s EV ecosystem continues to develop.
“Beyond delivering a great premium SUV, our Jaecoo network is also equipped and ready to care for our PHEV customers which is key to the longevity of their ownership journey with Jaecoo,” she said.
The J7 PHEV is said to offer the best of both worlds with greater engine performance compared to pure ICE or fully electric vehicles.
Owing to its Super Hybrid System technology, the J7 PHEV is the first in its class by delivering superior performance in terms of its pure electric range, energy consumption and endurance compared to contemporaries in the same class.
On paper, the J7 PHEV has a class-leading pure electric range of 106km (NEDC range) and the lowest fuel consumption in its class, at 5.99 litres per 100km, in a power-depleted state.
Most recently, the J7 PHEV was tested in a long-distance drive from Singapore to Hatyai, Thailand and clocked over 1,200km WLTP range.
The WLTP range is the maximum distance an EV will travel on a single charge, based on a standardised test.
