Beyond its industry-leading safety scores, the J7 SHS is also primed to lead in the country’s hybrid SUV segment.
Rated five stars, the Jaecoo J7 SHS proves its safety credentials in Europe.
The J7 SHS earned over 80 percent marks for its emergency braking, lane-keeping, speed assist and other safety features.
Jaecoo Philippines’ first hybrid SUV, the J7 SHS, has earned a five-star rating from the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP), adding to its list of global recognitions. This follows its verified extended range test conducted by the Automobile Association Philippines (AAP) earlier this year, back in February.
The Euro NCAP tested the J7 SHS based on key safety categories, including protection for adults and children, pedestrian safety, and onboard safety assist systems.
The adult occupant protection test evaluated the J7 SHS’ safety mechanisms for fully-grown adults upon frontal, lateral, and rear impact. The model scored 81 percent in this category, with the assessors noting that the model remained stable in the frontal offset test and protected the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger, regardless of size or position in the vehicle.
Meanwhile, the J7 SHS scored 80 percent in the child occupant protection, vulnerable road user (Pedestrian) protection, and safety assist systems tests.
Assessors praised the hybrid SUV’s safety assist system in particular, noting the autonomous emergency braking system’s excellent response to other vehicles, the lane support system’s adaptability when the car is moving beyond the lane, and the speed assistance system’s quick communication of the local speed limit to the driver.

The J7 SHS’ excellent Euro NCAP performance can be attributed to its road safety technologies, which fortify the vehicle for all emergencies. Drivers can easily assess the vehicle’s current safety status and overall road conditions through its DMS Driver Monitoring System and 360° HD Panoramic Camera+Under Chassis View. It also enables drivers to act quickly to prevent accidents, thanks to its Bosch’s IPB intelligent braking system that automatically kicks in within 0.1 seconds. Lastly, it also keeps drivers and passengers safe during collisions by positioning six airbags in key areas around the SUV.

Beyond its industry-leading safety scores, the J7 SHS is also primed to lead in the country’s hybrid SUV segment. The model boasts the smoothest turbo-charged powertrain in the market, promising seamless long-haul drives on both hybrid and pure electric modes. It achieves this by harnessing the combined power of a 201 HP motor, a 5th Generation 1.5 TDGI DHT hybrid engine, and a fast-charging 18.3 kWh lithium-ion battery. This unique powertrain allows motorists to seamlessly switch between the vehicle’s Full Electric, Series Hybrid, Parallel Hybrid, and Energy Recovery (regen) modes and travel through various terrains, including sand and mud. In fact, the model drove as far as 1,488.8 kilometers on a full fuel tank and a single charge during the AAP Verification Range Test earlier this year, exceeding its published extended range of 1,200+ km. It also drove as far as 106 km while on pure electric mode, giving drivers the option to go completely electric during long-haul drives.
The Jaecoo J7 SHS made its local preview in the Philippines at the recently concluded 2025 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS). The latest automotive offering has generated significant attention and enthusiasm at the event, with many customers placing early reservations. The model will also be put on display at the upcoming Omoda and Jaecoo Global Conference happening in Wuhu, China, this 23 April.
The first batch of J7 SHS units is expected to arrive in the Philippines by the end of May. Interested buyers may pre-order the J7 SHS at Omoda and Jaecoo Philippines’ official dealerships at Pasig, Sta. Rosa and Cebu. This will be available in the Premium and Comfort variants, which are both priced under P1.7 million.
