In Mexico, the JAECOO 7 SHS hybrid crossover set a record by covering 1,613 km in real-world conditions on a full tank and a fully charged battery. The distance is roughly comparable to driving from Madrid to Warsaw without a stop, and it underlines how plug-in hybrids are steadily moving from city-focused commuters to genuine long-haul contenders.
The key is the Super Hybrid System. Its fifth-generation 1.5 TDGI gasoline engine achieves a notable thermal efficiency of 44.5%, trimming fuel use while improving output. A DHT transmission seamlessly shuffles between all-electric, series, parallel and regenerative modes, adapting to the moment. The calibration feels tuned for everyday roads rather than test benches, making the tech easier to live with.
On the electric side, a 18.3 kWh battery delivers up to 90 km of WLTP range. It features active cooling and an instant crash shutoff of just 2 ms, which adds a welcome layer of safety. The hardware comes across as mature, prioritizing consistency and protection over showy specs.
Measuring 4.50 x 1.86 x 1.68 m, the JAECOO 7 SHS sits in the C-SUV class and targets Europe’s mainstream market. In Spain, it is offered in two versions: the Select 4x2 at €40,900 and the Exclusive 4x4 at €42,900, both before subsidies and discounts.
Blending long-distance capability, strong safety measures and contemporary tech, the JAECOO 7 SHS positions itself as a credible alternative to European and Japanese PHEVs in the family crossover segment.
