Jaecoo J7 SHS delights journalists during Media Drive Day

Omoda Jaecoo has hit the ground running in New Zealand with the J7 SHS receiving glowing review from automotive media.

Journalists from around the country were impressed by the vehicle’s price tag and the incredible value for money it offers.

Robert Barry from NZ Autocar states “the Jaecoo J7 SHS impresses as it offers a lot of tech, spec, warranty and fuel efficiency for the not unreasonable asking price of $50k, and we think it will give the incumbent Mitsubishi models more than a good run for their money.”

Damien O’Carroll from Drivcen Car Guide said “the SHS offers up an impressive range on either electricity or petrol, adding to the appeal of the Range Rover-lite styling and excellent interior quality that are hallmarks of the rest of the J7 range.”

While Nile Bijoux quotes “If you’re after an attractive five-seat SUV that has serious hybrid credentials as well as a good chunk of pure-electric range, and don’t mind the road user charges, the J7 SHS should be at the top of your list.”
