London, 30 September 2025 – Less than a year after its UK debut, the JAECOO 7 has already claimed a major accolade, being named Overall Car of the Year at the Leasing.com Awards 2025. The recognition underscores the model’s rapid rise in popularity and its growing influence in the UK SUV market.
Unlike traditional automotive awards, the Leasing.com Awards are grounded in real-world data, measuring enquiry volumes, market share, and overall value. This approach ensures that winners reflect actual consumer demand rather than solely editorial opinion – making the JAECOO 7’s success a genuine testament to its appeal among leasing customers.
Since its launch in January 2025, the JAECOO 7 has quickly captured attention, offering a distinctive alternative for drivers seeking a compact SUV that combines rugged styling, advanced technology, and strong value. The model has consistently featured among the most searched-for vehicles on Leasing.com, demonstrating its rapid traction in a competitive segment.
Commenting on the award, Mike Fazal, CEO of Leasing.com, said:
“The JAECOO 7 has been a real disruptor in 2025, quickly establishing itself as one of the most in-demand models on our platform. It represents fantastic value and has clearly resonated with leasing customers who are looking for something fresh yet affordable.”
Chris Clayton, Head of Fleet at JAECOO UK, added:
“The response to the JAECOO 7 has been strong from day one, and we’ve focused on making sure it delivers where it matters most – design, technology, and value. This award confirms that customers are responding to that.”
The JAECOO 7 is now available to lease across the UK, while the eagerly anticipated JAECOO 5 and E5 are set to join the lineup in the coming days, promising to build on the brand’s early momentum.
With this award, JAECOO cements its position as a brand to watch in 2025, proving that innovation, style, and value can quickly win over the UK leasing market.
