London, 4 September 2025 – JAECOO UK has announced that the JAECOO 7 Super Hybrid System (SHS) was the UK’s best-selling plug-in hybrid (PHEV) in August*, according to the latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). The accolade comes just months after the brand celebrated the sale of its 10,000th JAECOO 7 in the UK, underscoring the model’s rapid ascent in the competitive PHEV market.

Priced at £35,165 OTR** for the Luxury specification, the JAECOO 7 SHS pairs an advanced self-charging hybrid system with a highly efficient internal combustion engine, delivering an impressive 403 mpg (WLTP) and a 745-mile combined range. Developed using third-generation hybrid technology from parent company Chery Group, the SHS has been specifically optimised for the UK market. By blending the convenience of fuel with the refined experience of electric driving, the system achieves ultra-high thermal efficiency, ultra-long endurance, ultra-low emissions (23 g/km), and class-leading battery safety.

The strong August performance has propelled JAECOO, alongside sister brand OMODA, to a combined 2.96%* UK market share. Just seven months after launch, the JAECOO 7 has surpassed 12,500 orders*, a testament to both the vehicle’s appeal and the brand’s ambitious growth strategy. Gary Lan, CEO of JAECOO UK, commented:

“This latest accolade for the JAECOO 7 SHS highlights the strength of our product, our team, and our dealer network. Recognition like this reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality vehicles that cater to the needs of UK drivers, with powertrains tailored specifically to their expectations.”

Jaecoo 7 Shs Claims Title As Uks Best Selling Plug In Hybrid In August

Central to the model’s success is a robust UK dealer network, currently spanning 81 locations, alongside comprehensive aftersales support. The JAECOO 7 offers a compelling combination of adventure-ready capabilities, on-road comfort, distinctive styling, and strong performance, making it a standout choice for families and lifestyle-focused drivers alike.

The interior of the JAECOO 7 Luxury is designed to impress, with a sophisticated cabin featuring a 14.8” high-resolution touchscreen, a 10.25” LCD instrument panel, and a head-up display (HUD). Drivers and passengers benefit from multi-colour interior lighting, 50W wireless charging, a SONY 8-speaker audio system, a panoramic roof, heated and cooled seats, and a full suite of ADAS safety technologies, ensuring both comfort and security on every journey.

Looking ahead, JAECOO is set to expand its UK lineup with the compact crossover JAECOO 5 and the all-electric E5, both launching in October. The JAECOO 5 is available to order now from £24,505 OTR** for Pure specification, rising to £28,000 OTR** for Luxury. The E5, JAECOO’s first fully electric model for the UK, will start from £27,505 OTR**. All models come with a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty, unlimited mileage for the first three years, an 8-year battery warranty, and RAC home start cover as standard.

With strong sales momentum, a growing dealer network, and a clear roadmap of product launches, JAECOO continues to establish itself as a key player in the UK plug-in hybrid and electric vehicle market, delivering technology, style, and performance that resonate with modern drivers.
