Overview
- Jaecoo launched the JAECOO 8 plug‑in hybrid in the UK as a three‑row flagship with prices from £45,500 and a seven‑year, 100,000‑mile warranty plus an eight‑year battery guarantee.
- At the Chery International Business Summit in Wuhu, executives outlined six additional UK models across Omoda and Jaecoo and set a goal to reach one million annual sales from 2027.
- Technical briefs highlighted the J8 PHEV’s all‑wheel‑drive hybrid system with a stated 537 PS output and a WLTP electric range of 134 km from a 34 kWh battery.
- Jaecoo added self‑charging hybrid versions of the J5 and J7 for buyers who do not want to plug in, with the J5 Hybrid rated at 224 PS and a 0–100 km/h time of 7.9 seconds.
- The roadmap points to broader segments with an Omoda 2 and Omoda 4, a near‑five‑metre Jaecoo 9 SUV, and a large Jaecoo pickup, while executives note ongoing demand for petrol and hybrids in markets such as Australia.
