Quick Summary

The Jaecoo 7 is a brand-new midsize SUV from Chinese automotive company Chery's premium brand, launched in the UK in January 2025. Positioned between a Range Rover Evoque and Velar in size, it offers a five-seater layout with a genuinely impressive, premium-quality interior packed with luxury and safety equipment at an impressively competitive price. Three powertrain options are available: a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol with front-wheel drive, the same engine with four-wheel drive, and a plug-in hybrid combining a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol with electric motors for a combined 201bhp and up to 56 miles of electric-only range.

However, the petrol-only models suffer from unpolished software, delivering jerky, all-or-nothing power that can cause front-wheel spin in the FWD version. The plug-in hybrid offers smoother, more predictable power delivery and quieter operation. Whilst these teething troubles are not uncommon for brand-new models from new brands, they could be remedied through over-the-air software updates. The Jaecoo 7 offers exceptional value, roomy practicality, and premium interior quality, making it an intriguing proposition for budget-conscious buyers seeking a well-equipped family SUV.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a well-equipped, spacious family SUV with premium interior quality, and those interested in the plug-in hybrid's smoother driving experience and low running costs.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising refined petrol engines, those seeking engaging driving dynamics, or buyers wanting proven reliability from an established brand.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Jaecoo 7 if: You're seeking a well-equipped, spacious family SUV with premium interior quality at an exceptional price, or interested in the plug-in hybrid's smoother driving experience and low running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise refined petrol engines, engaging driving dynamics, or proven reliability from an established brand with a longer track record.

Competitive Position: The Jaecoo 7 is a compelling newcomer to the midsize SUV market, offering exceptional value and premium interior quality that rivals more expensive competitors. Whilst it currently lacks the proven reliability and refined driving dynamics of established rivals like the Hyundai Tucson, Ford Kuga, and Range Rover Evoque, its impressive equipment levels, spacious practicality, and competitive pricing make it an intriguing proposition for budget-conscious buyers. The plug-in hybrid variant particularly stands out, offering smoother operation and lower running costs. As a brand-new model from a new-to-market brand, early teething troubles with software could be resolved through over-the-air updates, potentially strengthening its position further.
