- Chery’s Super Hybrid System pairs a 1.5‑litre turbo petrol engine with electric drive for a manufacturer-quoted 422 hp and 0–62 mph in 5.8 seconds.
- Jaecoo cites up to 83 miles of electric-only range, a combined range beyond 700 miles, and DC charging up to 40 kW enabling roughly 30–80% in about 20 minutes.
- Standard kit includes dual 12.3‑inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, cooled wireless charging, and a 14‑speaker Sony system, while Executive adds Nappa leather captain’s chairs with heating, ventilation, and massage.
