OMODA and JAECOO, two innovative automotive brands under Chery Automobile, are gearing up for their official launch of the JAECOO 7 SHS (Super Hybrid System) vehicle, following impressive performance tests conducted across various terrains. This exciting development places the spotlight on the brands as they prepare to captivate the Thai market during the upcoming Bangkok International Motor Show, running from March 26 to April 6, 2025.
The recent performance testing took participants on a grueling 1,100-km drive from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth, South Africa. This test was not merely about academic performance but also aimed to push the boundaries of their hybrid technology under varying environmental conditions, including high humidity and temperature variations. Reports indicate it was attended by media representatives from six countries, showcasing the growing global interest and expectations associated with OMODA and JAECOO’s offerings.
During the rigorous test drive, the advanced capabilities of the JAECOO 7 SHS shone through. With its cutting-edge Super Hybrid System, the vehicle seamlessly delivers remarkable power and efficiency. Equipped with a fifth-generation 1.5TDGI engine, the JAECOO 7 SHS boasts 255 kW of power and 525 Nm of torque, allowing for swift acceleration from 0 to 50 km/h within just 3.8 seconds. This incredible performance is complemented by optimal fuel efficiency, recorded at 6 liters per 100 km according to WLTP standards.
Another standout feature of the JAECOO 7 SHS is its energy recuperation system, which enhances its sustainability metrics, making it not only powerful but also eco-friendly. This innovative technology allows the vehicle to reclaim energy during braking, contributing to increased efficiency, especially beneficial during urban driving scenarios characterized by frequent stops and starts.
The event also included the participation of the OMODA C9, which shared the spotlight as another model under the OMODA and JAECOO banner, undergoing performance testing alongside its hybrid counterpart. The interactive safari-type drive offered media members not just engagement with the vehicles but also opportunities to explore the diverse landscapes and wildlife of South Africa—an experience underscoring the brand’s commitment to adventure and durability.
"JAECOO 7 SHS is equipped with the Super Hybrid System, showcasing excellent performance and energy efficiency," stated Chery Automobile, highlighting the vehicle's competitive edge. Beyond its durability, the driving experience has been emphasized as both pleasant and effective, offering a balance between power and comfort, ideal for various driving conditions.
