The JAECOO 7 has claimed the title of the UK’s best-selling new car in March 2026, marking a significant milestone for the brand. With 10,064 registrations in a single month and 15,569 year-to-date, the JAECOO 7 has surged past its nearest competitor by 70%, securing a firm number one spot for the first time since entering the market.
This strong performance highlights the JAECOO 7’s broad appeal across both private and fleet buyers, with a retail mix of 55% and 85% of sales coming from the plug-in Super Hybrid System (SHS-P) variant. The success of the model contributed to a 2.66% share of the total UK car market in March, underscoring the growing confidence of UK customers in JAECOO’s advanced technology and design.
Gary Lan, CEO of JAECOO UK, said: “Securing the number one position is a landmark moment for JAECOO. The JAECOO 7 has resonated strongly with British customers thanks to its combination of advanced technology, standout design and real-world usability, particularly with our Super Hybrid System. This result reflects not only the strength of the product, but also the commitment of our growing UK retail network and the confidence customers are placing in our brand.”
The JAECOO 7 offers a choice of front- or all-wheel-drive TGDi 1.6-litre petrol alongside the SHS-P plug-in hybrid system, which delivers a combined driving range of up to 745 miles, including 56 miles on pure electric power. Rapid charging capability makes it a practical option for both daily commutes and longer journeys. Prices start from £29,105 OTR, rising to £35,175 for the SHS-P, and every vehicle comes with a comprehensive seven-year warranty.
Looking ahead, JAECOO is expanding the 7 range with a new pure hybrid (SHS-H) variant and a Black Luxury Edition of the SHS-P, with deliveries starting in May. The brand’s presence in the UK SUV segment will be further strengthened with the launch of the flagship JAECOO 8 in May, available as an all-wheel-drive SHS-P with up to 83 miles of EV-only range and pricing from £45,500 OTR.
The JAECOO 7’s strong March performance demonstrates that the brand’s combination of cutting-edge technology, versatile powertrains, and UK-wide retailer support is resonating with buyers, positioning JAECOO as a rising force in the UK automotive market.
