Looking for a brand new Jaecoo 7? Whichever powertrain you choose, petrol, self-charging hybrid or plug-in hybrid, you get a genuinely different route into the mid-size SUV class, built around off-road styling and a spacious, well-equipped cabin. The Jaecoo 7 gives you SUV presence without the usual trade-offs, backed by a 7-year, 100,000-mile warranty for real peace of mind. Explore the full selection of new Jaecoo 7 deals from Vertu below.
Three powertrains sit under one badge on the Jaecoo 7: petrol, a self-charging hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid with 56 miles of electric-only range. That level of choice is rare in the mid-size Jaecoo 7 SUV class, where most rivals commit to a single hybrid strategy.
Jaecoo is part of the Chery Group, the Chinese manufacturer behind sister brand Omoda, and the Jaecoo 7 (also sold as the Jaecoo J7) is its flagship SUV for UK buyers. Whichever version you choose, you get five seats and a 500-litre boot as standard, all on the same underlying platform.
Two petrol trims, Jaecoo 7 Deluxe and Luxury, suit buyers who want a familiar turbocharged engine, with Luxury adding all-wheel drive. For hybrid buyers, the Jaecoo 7 SHS-P plug-in hybrid covers most daily journeys on electric power alone, while the self-charging Jaecoo 7 SHS-H never needs a cable at all.
Jaecoo built the 7 around off-road styling paired with technology usually found in premium hatchbacks, so you get SUV presence without SUV-sized trade-offs. It's a real alternative if you're cross-shopping the Jaecoo 7 against established mid-size rivals, particularly if you'd rather pick your own powertrain than have your choice of trim decide it for you.
Vertu's current range spans six trims across the three powertrains, giving most driveways and budgets a configuration that fits. Long motorway commuters may prefer the reassurance of a familiar turbocharged petrol engine, while drivers whose daily journeys sit comfortably under 56 miles could run the plug-in SHS-P on electric power alone for most of the week, topping up with petrol only for longer trips.
If you're weighing up Jaecoo car models more broadly, the 7 is the brand's flagship SUV for UK buyers, sitting above smaller sibling Omoda models in size and spec. Watch our full Jaecoo 7 Review alongside this overview to see the petrol, SHS-P and SHS-H versions in action.
Get behind the wheel of a Jaecoo 7 interior and you're working with a Snapdragon-powered touchscreen, sized at 14.8 inches on Luxury and Deluxe SHS-H trims and 13.2 inches on entry trims, paired with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. A Head-Up Display (HUD) comes as standard on Luxury trim, projecting speed, navigation, and driver-assistance warnings into your eyeline.
You'll find comfort runs deep across the range. Heated front seats feature on most trims, and Luxury adds ventilation, lumbar support and a SONY 8-speaker audio system in place of the standard six-speaker setup. A 1.1-metre panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with light and opens on request, while PM2.5 air purification on Luxury trims filters the air you breathe.
Petrol models get a chunky gearstick and prominent grab handles for a traditional, hands-on feel. The SHS-P hybrid swaps to a column-mounted gear selector for a calmer, more EV-like cabin, matching the quieter, motor-led driving experience it's built around. Wireless phone charging comes fitted at 50W on most trims, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep you connected without a cable.
The 540-degree panoramic camera adds a transparent chassis mode on Petrol and SHS-P trims, showing you what's beneath the car on the central display. It's a handy piece of kit for tight parking as much as it is for anything more adventurous, letting you place all four wheels with confidence rather than guessing.
Jaecoo's waterfall grille and hidden door handles give the J7 car a clean, uninterrupted profile the moment you walk up to it. LED headlights and daytime running lights come as standard, with LED units unavailable only on the SHS-H Pure entry trim, which uses halogen headlights instead. Whichever trim you choose, you get 19-inch alloy wheels as standard.
You get five standard finishes to choose from, including Basalt Black. Go for the Black Luxury edition, available on the SHS-P plug-in hybrid only, and you get a choice of three colours, Pearl Silver, Basalt Black, and Granite White, each paired with a two-tone black roof as standard. Black Luxury also blacks out the grille, badges, mirrors, side strips, roof, and alloys, giving you a noticeably different stance from the standard car.
Choose Petrol or SHS-P and you get 200mm of ground clearance, with approach and departure angles of 21 and 29 degrees, figures that back up the Jaecoo 7's off-road styling even on tarmac-focused trims.
Every Jaecoo 7 measures 4,500mm long and 1,865mm wide, excluding mirrors, so you're getting a footprint that sits squarely in the mid-size SUV bracket alongside the class rivals it's designed to take on. Petrol models stand marginally taller at 1,680mm than the SHS-P and SHS-H hybrids at 1,670mm, a small difference down to the hybrid system packaged beneath the floor.
Jaecoo 7 trims span three separate ladders: Petrol runs Deluxe to Luxury, SHS-P sits alongside Luxury and climbs to Black Luxury, and SHS-H runs Pure to Deluxe. The table below sets out the core technology, comfort, and safety equipment across the six-trim range; performance and battery figures appear separately in the Engines and Performance table below.

Jaecoo 7 engines span three distinct setups, and the table below compares power, range, and efficiency across them. Petrol Deluxe and Luxury share an engine but differ in drivetrain, so their figures are listed separately.

The Jaecoo 7 is a well-equipped mid-size SUV with three powertrain choices, an 8-airbag system and a 7-year, 100,000-mile warranty. The tested Jaecoo 7 SHS-P has also achieved a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. That combination of choice, safety, and warranty cover holds its own against established mid-size SUV rivals, and every version comes with Vertu's dealership backing behind it.
Yes. The Jaecoo 7 SHS-H is a self-charging hybrid that never needs to be plugged in, using its 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine and electric motor to recharge its battery as you drive. It's available in Pure and Deluxe trims, returns up to 51.8mpg combined (WLTP) and produces 125g/km CO2, making it a straightforward alternative for anyone who wants hybrid efficiency without home or public charging.
Jaecoo's Super Hybrid System (SHS) comes in two forms on the Jaecoo 7. The self-charging SHS-H tops up its battery through the engine and regenerative braking, needing no cable at all. The plug-in SHS-P charges from an external socket, storing enough energy for up to 56 miles of electric-only driving (WLTP) before its petrol engine takes over, for a total range of up to 745 miles.
Every Jaecoo 7, across all six trims and three powertrains, has a 500-litre boot with the rear seats in place. That's a properly usable load area for a mid-size SUV, whether you're running the weekly shop or packing for a longer trip away in your Jaecoo 7.
Jaecoo is part of the Chery Group, one of China's largest car manufacturers and, according to Chery, the country's leading vehicle exporter for more than two decades. Chery also owns sister brand Omoda, and both arrived in the UK within the last two years. That backing gives the Jaecoo 7 the support of a well-established, high-volume manufacturer behind a newer badge.
All-wheel drive is available on the Jaecoo 7 Luxury petrol trim only. The entry-level Deluxe petrol runs front-wheel drive, as do both hybrid versions, the self-charging SHS-H and plug-in SHS-P. If all-weather traction matters most to you, Jaecoo 7 Luxury AWD is currently the only route to it in the range.
Every new Jaecoo 7 comes with a 7-year, 100,000-mile vehicle warranty, whichever is reached first, with no mileage limit at all for the first three years. The plug-in SHS-P adds an 8-year, 100,000-mile warranty on its battery pack, giving extra peace of mind about the part of a plug-in hybrid buyers worry about most.
