In terms of design, the front of the vehicle showcases a robust and square-shaped profile, accentuated by a large grille with numerous vertical slats that evoke a resemblance to Land Rover models. The headlights are designed in a two-tier layout with a boxy shape, while the daytime running lights feature a sleek LED strip that spans across the grille.

Viewed from the side, the Jaecoo J7 sports a blacked-out C-pillar, creating a floating roof effect, along with hidden door handles for a youthful and modern aesthetic. The vehicle is fitted with 19-inch alloy wheels featuring a two-tone finish, with unique designs depending on the chosen variant.

The rear of the Jaecoo J7 features a prominent roof spoiler with high-mounted brake lights, complemented by a full-width LED strip that adds to the contemporary look of the vehicle. The LED taillights are designed in the shape of boomerangs, arranged neatly and symmetrically.

Under the hood, the Jaecoo J7 PHEV is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged gasoline engine paired with an electric motor. In overseas markets, this configuration delivers a combined output of 347 horsepower and a peak torque of 525 Nm.

According to the distributor, the C-segment SUV can cover a maximum distance of 106 km in pure electric mode and achieve a combined range of 1,200 km when both the fuel tank is full and the battery is charged.
