New Jaecoo 8 Deals

Jaecoo 8 at a Glance
Boot space 200 litres (all seats in use) - up to 738 litres (seats folded)
Warranty 7 years / 100,000 miles (no mileage limit for the first 3 years)
CO2 emissions (WLTP) 14g/km

Overview of the Jaecoo 8 PHEV

The Jaecoo 8 is a six or seven-seat SUV, depending on trim, built around a Super Hybrid System, pairing a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine with electric power. Together, they deliver a combined range of more than 700 miles from a single charge and tank.

Two trims are available: Luxury, with seating for seven, and Executive, with six seats arranged as individual captain's chairs in the second row. Whichever you choose, the Jaecoo 8 sits within the wider Jaecoo UK car range, built for family journeys that mix city streets with longer trips.

Safety is built in from the start, with an eight-airbag system, a high-strength steel safety cage, and manufacturer-rated five-star crash protection.

With low CO2 emissions (WLTP), the Jaecoo 8 is also a strong choice for anyone weighing up company car tax. That combination of low CO2 and long range makes it particularly relevant to fleet buyers as well as families.

From the signature waterfall grille outside to the dual 12.3-inch curved screens inside, every detail feels considered rather than crowded. The Jaecoo 8 PHEV is built to flex around real family life, whether that's the captain's-chair comfort of Executive or the extra seat Luxury adds for a bigger household.

Jaecoo 8 Interior

The Jaecoo 8's cabin centres on dual 12.3-inch curved screens, merging the digital instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen into one display. A Snapdragon processor keeps menus and navigation responsive.

Luxury seats come with a massage function up front, while Executive adds heated, ventilated, and massaging captain's chairs in the second row. Those Executive captain's chairs also get power recline and privacy blinds, with the driver's seat also including massage on that trim.

Executive is trimmed in real leather; Luxury uses a leatherette upholstery. Grey wood effect trim is standard, and a Cognac interior is available as an option.

A 14-speaker Sony audio system with headrest speakers and a boot-mounted subwoofer handles the sound. A head-up display keeps speed and navigation in your eyeline, so you never need to look away from the road.

You get dual-zone climate control, a PM2.5 air quality system, and ambient lighting to keep you comfortable on longer trips. Rear passengers get dedicated vents, a climate panel, and B-pillar vents to keep temperatures even throughout the cabin.

Wireless smartphone mirroring for CarPlay and Android Auto, 50W wireless charging, and a connected car system with 4G and Wi-Fi hotspot keep everyone on board connected. Voice control and FOTA over-the-air updates round out the technology, with the car's software kept current after every update. Storage is thoughtful too, with a cooled front centre armrest and space for two large cups within easy reach.

Jaecoo 8 Exterior

A signature waterfall grille anchors the Jaecoo 8's exterior, a bold, layered design that channels airflow while giving the front end real presence. A golden-ratio silhouette and crisp character lines carry that presence along the body.

Hidden, electric retractable door handles keep the profile clean, tucking away until you need them. At the rear, a full-width Crystal Array LED taillight stretches across the tailgate.

LED headlights and daytime running lights lead the way up front, with automatic activation as standard. Both trims ride on 20-inch alloy wheels and come with roof rails and a panoramic sunroof as standard.

Dual twin exhaust outlets and front and rear towing eyes round out a look built for suburban driveways and rougher ground alike. Auto-tilt door mirrors, complete with puddle lamps, add a further practical touch when reversing or parking in tight spaces.

Exterior colours include Basalt Black, Granite White, Amazonite Blue, Anthracite Silver, and Iced Slate Grey. Three of those shades, Amazonite Blue, Granite White, and Anthracite Silver, are also available as a two-tone finish with a black roof. A shark-fin antenna and dynamic turn indicators finish the details, alongside intelligent high beam control.

Jaecoo 8 Trims and Specifications

The Jaecoo 8 is offered in two trims, Luxury (7-seat) and Executive (6-seat), sharing the same core equipment throughout. Both trims share the same technology, safety, and driver assistance systems, with the differences concentrated in seating and a handful of comfort features.

Luxury focuses on space and value, with leatherette upholstery and a heated, ventilated second row alongside front seat massage. Executive is the more indulgent choice, swapping the second-row bench for a pair of heated, ventilated, massaging captain's chairs and adding real leather and electrically opening doors throughout.

Every Jaecoo 8, regardless of trim, includes the 540° surround view camera, adaptive cruise control, and the full driver assistance suite covered below. Standard safety kit spans lane departure warning, front collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind spot detection, and rear cross traffic alert.

Inside, both trims get the same dual-zone climate control, PM2.5 air quality system, and ambient lighting, whatever seating layout you choose. That shared foundation means neither trim compromises on safety or connectivity, whichever seating layout suits your household best.

The table below sets out how technology, safety, and comfort equipment compare across both trims.

Jaecoo 8 Engines and Performance

Every Jaecoo 8 uses the same Super Hybrid System, a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine paired with electric motors and all-wheel drive. The system delivers 428PS and 560Nm of torque, enough for 0-62mph in 5.8 seconds.

A 3DHT transmission with 12 power delivery modes keeps that power usable at any speed, and torque vectoring keeps it planted through corners. On electric power alone, the Jaecoo 8 covers up to 83 miles before the petrol engine steps in.

Together, both power sources give a combined range of more than 700 miles across a full charge and a full tank. The battery pack is protected against collision, fire, water, and freezing, so it's built to handle everyday knocks as well as the elements.

It can also power external devices through Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology rated at 6.6kW, useful for camping equipment or tools on site. Continuous Damping Control (CDC) adaptive suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension are fitted as standard, and adjust in real time to road conditions.

CO2 emissions are rated at 14g/km (WLTP) across both Jaecoo j8 trims, keeping this Jaecoo hybrid car competitive for company car tax. That shared setup means Luxury and Executive drivers get identical performance, so the choice between them comes down to seating and comfort rather than power.

Because performance is identical across both trims, the j8 Jaecoo specs below cover Luxury and Executive together.
