Jaecoo, a PREMIUM sub-brand of Chery, will launch into Australia in early 2025 with its debut model the J7, a mid-sized SUV.
The J7 will be available in 2WD and AWD variants with power coming from a turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine producing 137kW/275Nm. Power runs through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission as standard.
Jaecoo says the J7 will have power-adjustable front seats; an electric tailgate; a 14.8-inch LCD touchscreen; a 360-degree panoramic camera system; wireless smartphone charging; 19-inch alloy wheels; LED headlamps; 8 airbags (including a driver’s knee airbag); and several advanced safety features.
Jaecoo also announced the J5 will be headed to the local market.
A compact SUV, the J5 will offer plenty of features, including a 13.2-inch touchscreen with integrated entertainment applications and smart navigation. A large panoramic sunroof will be available.
Jaecoo will reveal additional J7 details related to specification and pricing closer to the on-sale date in the first quarter of 2025. Local specification for the J5 has yet to be finalised.
