Quick Summary

The Jaecoo 7 is a striking five-seater midsize SUV from Chinese automotive company Chery's new premium brand. Launched in the UK in January 2025, it sits between a Range Rover Evoque and Velar in size, with styling that draws clear inspiration from Range Rover design language. The interior is genuinely impressive, featuring high-quality materials, premium finishes, and extensive standard equipment including a panoramic sunroof, heated seats, and advanced driver assistance systems. Boot space ranges from 412 to 500 litres depending on powertrain, with practical 60/40 split-folding rear seats.

Three powertrain options are available: a 145bhp 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol with front-wheel drive, the same engine with four-wheel drive, and a 201bhp plug-in hybrid with 56 miles of electric-only range. Whilst the PHEV delivers smoother, more predictable power delivery, the petrol versions suffer from unpolished software causing jerky, all-or-nothing acceleration and occasional front-wheel spin. Running costs are competitive, with prices starting around £30,000, undercutting the Hyundai Tucson significantly. These teething troubles are likely remediable through over-the-air software updates, a feature the car supports.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a spacious, well-equipped family SUV with premium interior quality, and those interested in a plug-in hybrid option with genuine electric range.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising refined, responsive throttle response and smooth power delivery, or those seeking a fully polished driving experience from day one.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Jaecoo 7 if: You're seeking a spacious, well-equipped family SUV with impressive interior quality at a competitive price, or interested in a plug-in hybrid with genuine electric range.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise refined, responsive throttle response, smooth power delivery, or a fully polished driving experience from day one.

Competitive Position: The Jaecoo 7 is an intriguing newcomer to the midsize SUV market, offering exceptional value and premium interior quality that rivals more expensive competitors. Whilst it undercuts the Hyundai Tucson and Range Rover Evoque on price, it currently lags behind them in expert and user ratings due to unpolished petrol powertrains and intrusive driver assistance systems. However, as a brand-new model from a brand-new manufacturer, these teething troubles are not uncommon and are likely remediable through software updates. For budget-conscious buyers willing to accept some initial rough edges in exchange for impressive cabin quality and generous equipment, the Jaecoo 7 represents compelling value.
