The first of two PHEV set-ups uses a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine and single electric motor to produce 205kW and 365Nm. 

The top-spec PHEV adds a rear electric motor, boosting total power up to 260kW and 490Nm. 

Both PHEV variants are equipped with an 18.4kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery, with J7 capable of travelling as much as 100km on electric-only power. 

The J7 PHEV has a total driving range of up to 1200km when the battery is fully charged and the fuel tank is at capacity. 

DC charging from 30 to 80 per cent at 40kW takes 20 minutes. 

The base and range-topping variants have a 14.8-inch central touchscreen, while the mid-spec PHEV has a 13.2-inch unit.

You get synthetic leather seats in the Ridge petrol and Summit PHEV grades, with the front seats heated and ventilated. 

Those grades also receive an electrically operated panoramic sunroof and power tailgate as well. 

All grades ride on a variant of 19-inch wheels and feature Jaecoo’s waterfall grille as on all its petrol- and hybrid-powered models.
