Since its inception, JAECOO has swiftly established itself as a prominent player in the off-road market, boasting a global footprint and a comprehensive value chain. In just nine months, JAECOO has amassed a dedicated following across numerous countries, setting the stage for the global launch of its flagship urban premium off-road SUV, the J7.
The recent launch event, held in Mexico on February 20th, marked a significant milestone for JAECOO. Attended by industry leaders, media representatives, and investors, the event garnered widespread acclaim, signaling JAECOO’s growing influence in the automotive world. With the successful introduction of the J7, JAECOO aims to expand its reach into the global right-hand drive market, with Malaysia slated as the first Southeast Asian country to experience the J7’s debut in the first half of 2024.
In anticipation of the J7’s arrival, JAECOO hosted an exclusive preview event in Malaysia on January 3rd. Potential investors and media personnel were treated to a firsthand look at the J7, a fusion of off-road prowess and cutting-edge technology. The vehicle’s stunning design and innovative features received glowing reviews, setting the stage for its imminent launch.
Following the preview event, JAECOO conducted rigorous off-road testing at Malaysia’s renowned “M4TREC” track to assess the J7’s capabilities. From roller ramps to ridge crossings, the J7 conquered every challenge with ease, thanks to its All Road Drive Intelligent System (ARDIS). This advanced system endows the J7 with unparalleled adaptability, allowing it to tackle diverse terrains with confidence.
At the heart of the J7 lies the ARDIS, which redefines the off-road experience with its array of driving modes tailored to various conditions. Whether traversing sand, snow, or mud, the J7 delivers optimal performance with lightning-fast response times, courtesy of the BOSCH Intelligent Power Brake control system. With a maximum rear axle wheel-end torque of 3000N•m, the J7 excels in both extrication and driving comfort, setting new standards in its class.
Underneath its rugged exterior, the J7 boasts a powerful 1.6TGDI engine and a 7DCT wet dual clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power output of 145kW and a peak torque of 290 N•m. With acceleration from 0 to 30 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, the J7 outpaces luxury brands’ offerings, ensuring superior performance on and off the road.
Looking ahead, Malaysia will play a pivotal role in JAECOO’s global strategy, serving as a key market for its innovative off-road products. With a commitment to delivering unparalleled driving experiences worldwide, JAECOO is poised to revolutionize the off-road landscape with its groundbreaking technology.
