Also referred to as: Jaecoo J7 SHS 2025 and Jaecoo J7 SHS 2027.2 reviews
Brand new Jaecoo J7 PHEV When I purchased the car I had to return the car the next day to the dealer due to paint chips scratches and other paint issues. The deal had the car for a week. Now one month old. 1085 km on the odometer Warning on dashboard. Issue with systems stats do not drive and take care to dealer. I rang the dealer who advised not to drive the car and to have the car towed to the dealer. Car towed to Jaecoo J7 SHS Moorooka Service 3 Nov 26. There is a 16 day wait (19 Nov 26) for the car to be inspected by the service department Jaecoo will not provide a loan car until it is inspected. Brand new car with 1085 km that cannot be driven due electrical system issues. Very poor support and service provided by Jaecoo.
I would not recommend buying this car.
Jaecoo do not have a service capacity to support the amount of car sales. Having to wait 17 days for the car just to be inspected and the who knows how long to have the repaired.
Purchased in for $47,000.

Pro: Long range, excellent acceleration, All optional features included, quiet you can not tell when the charging engine is running. Cons: Make sure you have the Jaecoo dealer support guy number programed to you phone because you'll be calling them often:
- Brakes won't released unless seatbelt is secured. this also applies to other features. - Change from reverse (R) to drive (D) is not always seamless. At times I found myself stuck in the middle of the road because D wouldn't engage, had to go to N first then brake then it let me select D. - All windows have the vendors watermark on them I was not able to remove. - Steering wheel levers are from generic left hand drive, Indicator, wiper control on left side. column gear shift on right side. need time to get use to. - Steering wheel over responsive you get jolted from side to side on slight movement. - The Head Up display has no Auto dimming, at night the display is super bright. There's manual setting option buried in the setting menu. - No sunglass storage usually found on any cheap car above the rearview mirror. - No grab handles on driver side. - No water jets for rear window.
Personally I find this car more suitable for Tech Savvies
Follow-up · Orange Engine icon lit up. Dealer reset the software, 2 days later orange icon reappeared, took the car back to the dealer. one hour later was told there's a crack in the brake booster system. Car left with the dealer waiting for the replacement part. Dealer gave me a loan car now 2nd week waiting for the parts. DAB radio reception not working. Not too worry about that. mostly streaming from my Iphone. I would thought the parts production quality control would have picked it up. As for me the jury is still out on this car.
Purchased in for $45,000.
