In a surprising move, Geleximco Group, a partner of Chery Cars, recently exhibited Chinese car models that are set to be launched in Vietnam.
Although the logos are covered on all the displayed car models to gather consumer reactions, most people can still identify the cars showcased in this exhibition: Omoda 5, Omoda S5, and Jaecoo 7.
The standout model among the lineup is the Jaecoo 7, a masculine and sturdy C-sized SUV by Chery. It also has a PHEV version that is renowned for being incredibly fuel-efficient, consuming only 1 liter per 100 km.
The Chery Jaecoo 7 boasts the following dimensions: Length x Width x Height, respectively 4,538 x 1,898 x 1,680 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,672 mm. The car features an approach angle of 21 degrees and a departure angle of 29 degrees. It falls into the C-segment high-ride car category and will compete with the likes of Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, KIA Sportage, and more when it enters the Vietnamese market.
The Chery Jaecoo 7 has a square and sturdy appearance, reminiscent of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2024 model.
In its home market of China, the Jaecoo 7 features a relatively large “CHERY” logo placed at the center of the radiator grille. However, for the international version, this logo has been slightly resized.
The car sports a two-tiered, rectangular-shaped headlight design, with a long LED strip serving as the daylight positioning lights that runs across the grille.
At the rear, the car is equipped with a large spoiler integrated with a high-mount brake light, a translucent taillight, and two hidden exhaust pipes.
Inside, the Chery Jaecoo 7 boasts a minimalist yet modern cabin design. The standout feature is the vertical 13.2-inch touchscreen display located in the center control area. The instrument cluster behind the steering wheel features a simple layout similar to the Hyundai Tucson. The car’s entertainment operating system is powered by the Snapdragon 8155 chip, and it also includes a steering support system with 33 different functions.
The fuel consumption of the 2WD version is 6.98L/100 km, while the 4WD version is 7.48L/100 km. The 4WD version also offers multiple driving modes such as snow, mud, and sand, allowing it to conquer various terrains. In the future, the PHEV version of the Chery Jaecoo 7 will achieve an impressive fuel consumption of just 1 liter per 100 km.
The price of the Chery Jaecoo 7 in the Vietnamese market is still unknown. In China, the 2WD version is expected to be priced around 130 NDT (approximately 437 million VND), while the 4WD version will range from 132,900 to 145,900 NDT (approximately 447 – 490 million VND).
