Jaecoo’s latest hybrid SUV has just landed in the Philippines — and it’s not holding back. At the 2025 Manila International Auto Show, the brand gave a sneak peek of the Jaecoo J7 SHS, a midsize SUV powered by what it calls the Super Hybrid System (SHS) — its most advanced hybrid tech to date.

The J7 SHS was built for long drives, urban commutes, and the unpredictable mix of roads we’ve got here. In a recent test verified by the Automobile Association Philippines last February, the J7 SHS managed to cover a whopping 1,488.8 kilometers on a single tank and one full charge. That’s way beyond the model’s official range of 1,200+ km. If you go fully electric, it can still stretch out 106 km — perfect for city driving without burning fuel.

The model’s Super Hybrid System is powered by a 201 HP motor and a 5th Generation 1.5 TDGI DHT hybrid engine. When these components work together, they generate a comprehensive power of 255 kW and a peak torque of 525 Nm, which is comparable to that of a 3.0T engine. This powertrain also allows drivers to seamlessly switch between the vehicle’s Full Electric, Series Hybrid, Parallel Hybrid and Energy Recovery (regen) modes. This, coupled with its ability to traverse various terrains like sand and mud, affirms J7 SHS’ unparalleled road versatility.

The J7 SHS also boasts efficient use of its fuel and electric power sources. The 5th Generation 1.5 TDGI DHT hybrid engine harnesses six core technologies, including Deep Miller cycle, Intelligent High Efficiency Combustion (i-HEC), regenerative braking, and optimized power distribution to consume just 4.1 liters of fuel every 100 km. The engine’s DHT component can also automatically switch the car’s driving mode depending on the current driving conditions and vehicle status. This converts the battery’s kinetic energy into electric energy, making driving more economical and efficient.

Speaking of the J7 SHS’ battery, this 18.3 kWh lithium-ion battery can also power up from 30 percent to 80 percent in just 20 minutes, maximizing motorists’ time on the road. It’s built-in all-around battery protection system can withstand temperatures from -35°C to 60°C, making it resistant to certain elements.

The J7 SHS’ design fuses style and innovation, guaranteeing motorists full control while on the road. This midsize SUV comes in dimensions of 4500 mm x 1865 mm x 1670 mm and is equipped with a 2672 mm-wide wheelbase. It is decked out with Jaecoo’s signature hexagonal Waterfall Grille, side mirrors with glossy black accents, and a checkered LED Full-Width Taillight. On the other hand, its model’s sleek and industrialist interior is equipped with a 10.25” instrument cluster and a 14.8” infotainment system. Users can also easily navigate the car’s countless features with an intelligent voice system that can be activated with the phrase “Hello, Jaecoo!”

The J7 SHS is also equipped with leading road safety technologies that fortify the car for all types of emergencies. The model boasts a body strength of 23,000N/deg and a road crash resistance score of 5.11 — exceeding other SUVs in the market. It also enables drivers to act swiftly during emergencies. Drivers can easily pull the brakes, thanks to Bosch’s IPB intelligent braking system that automatically kicks in within 0.1 seconds. They can also utilize the J7 SHS’ DMS Driver Monitoring System and 360° HD Panoramic Camera+Under Chassis View to assess the vehicle’s current safety status as well as the overall road conditions.

“We are excited to build off the momentum from our brand launch last February with the preview of the upcoming Jaecoo J7 SHS at this year’s MIAS,” Omoda and Jaecoo Philippines said in a statement. “The Super Hybrid System technology is the brand’s latest engineering DNA that is set to evolve users’ driving experience. And we are proud to debut this automotive engineering marvel at the 2025 MIAS. We are confident that Filipinos will love the Jaecoo J7 SHS.”

The first batch of J7 SHS units will arrive in the country by May 2025. It will soon be available in Premium and Comfort variants, both priced under P1.7 million. Interested buyers may pre-order the vehicle at Omoda and Jaecoo Philippines dealerships in Manila, Pasig, Alabang, Sta. Rosa, Cebu City and Tagum City.
