The Jaecoo 7 SHS-P covered 828 miles during testing at Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire, beating its official WLTP range of 745 miles. Jaecoo said the result makes the SUV the only plug-in hybrid SUV currently on sale in the UK capable of more than 800 miles.
That range comes from the Super Hybrid System (SHS), which has been refined for its fifth generation.
Powertrain and electric range
The car combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor and an 18.3 kWh battery pack. Officially, it can run for up to 56 miles on electric power before the combustion engine takes over.
Gary Lan, CEO of OMODA&JAECOO UK, said: “At OMODA&JAECOO, an economy record is more than a test of fuel efficiency – it's a celebration of intelligent engineering, thoughtful driving and the journey toward a smarter future of mobility. Success isn't measured by speed, but by the ability to go farther with less, proving that innovation and efficiency can work hand in hand. Every mile completed and every drop of fuel saved reflects our commitment to creating vehicles that are not only powerful and stylish, but also responsible and sustainable.”
UK sales and prices
Since launching in January 2025, the Jaecoo 7 has become one of the UK's best-selling vehicles, with more than 46,000 sold to UK drivers. Customers have nicknamed the model the “Temu Range Rover” and often compare it with the Range Rover Evoque.
The Chinese-built SUV is far cheaper than its British rival, with the SHS-P priced from around £35,170, compared with about £50,000 for the Evoque.
Sister model result
The Omoda 7 SHS-P also impressed at Millbrook, covering 770 miles. It uses the same 1.5-litre Super Hybrid System plug-in hybrid powertrain as the Jaecoo 7 and costs even less, at £32,005.
