Jaecoo 7: crossover with petrol and hybrid engines
Jaecoo 7 — a compact crossover, introduced in 2023 by Chery under the Jaecoo brand. In China, the same car is sold as the Chery Tansuo 06, while in Europe, it goes by the name Jaecoo 7. We'll look at its versions, engines, and what to know before buying.
Jaecoo 7 in brief
Jaecoo 7 — a five-door crossover with an angular design and a large vertical front grille. It's offered as a youthful and modernly equipped car with a more spacious interior than a typical city crossover.
Jaecoo is a Chery-created brand aimed at export. The model will start being sold in Europe in 2024-2025, so there aren't many used cars available yet.
Versions — what's the difference?
The base version is a petrol model with a turbo engine, available with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Additionally, in some markets, a plug-in hybrid version (Jaecoo 7 SHS) is offered.
Trim levels also vary: lower trims come with fewer driver-assistance systems, while higher trims feature a larger screen, better sound system, and more comfort features.
Engines and transmissions
The petrol version has a 1.6-litre turbo engine with around 194 hp (145 kW). It's paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are available.
The plug-in hybrid version supplements the petrol engine with electric motors and a larger battery. The system's power is significantly higher, and fuel consumption is lower, especially if the car is frequently charged.
What to check when buying a Jaecoo 7
As this is a fairly new model, check the car's history, service records, and whether manufacturer updates have been carried out. For hybrids, request a battery condition report.
Test the dual-clutch gearbox (especially when driving slowly) and all-wheel drive if it has it. Find out who can service the car and how parts can be sourced in Lithuania.
