OMODA & JAECOO’s latest innovation, the Super Hybrid System (SHS), has redefined the hybrid vehicle landscape in the UK. The first model equipped with this advanced plug-in hybrid platform is the JAECOO 7 SHS, now officially available for purchase. Its engineering sophistication delivers an impressive WLTP fuel efficiency of 403 mpg and an exceptional driving range of 745 miles.
Unlike traditional plug-in hybrid systems, the SHS ensures consistent electric battery performance, preventing the battery charge from ever dropping to zero. This marks a technological leap forward for hybrid electric vehicles.
Originating from the cutting-edge expertise of Chery Group’s third-generation hybrid technology, SHS has been fine-tuned for the specific needs of UK consumers. The system combines petrol convenience with the smoothness and silence of electric driving, offering a unique experience that surpasses most hybrid platforms.
The JAECOO 7 SHS boasts superior capabilities, including ultra-high thermal efficiency, remarkable endurance mileage, and ultra-low carbon emissions at just 23 g/km. It doesn’t stop there—it’s also equipped with class-leading safety features, particularly focused on battery protection and system durability.
At the heart of the powertrain is a fifth-generation 1.5-liter TDGI petrol engine, outputting 143 bhp and 215 Nm of torque. This engine employs six advanced technologies for optimal performance:
- Deep Miller Cycle enhances efficiency during combustion.
- i-HEC internal combustion system ensures cleaner and efficient fuel usage.
- i-HTM thermal management system controls temperatures for ideal operation.
- HTC efficient turbocharging delivers faster acceleration with reduced energy losses.
- i-LS intelligent lubrication system minimizes friction in high-demand settings.
- HiDS high dilution technology ensures fuel economy with lower CO2 emissions.
Complementing the engine is a sophisticated hybrid transmission system. Four key technologies drive this innovation, such as quad-core dual electronic control MCU, IGBT double-sided water cooling, and dual-motor hydraulic split cooling technology. This ensures seamless gear shifts, enhanced efficiency, and comfortable performance across diverse terrains.
The vehicle also features an 18.3-kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack. This robust energy solution provides an EV-only driving range of 56 miles, ideal for city commutes. With a triple-layer safety design, the battery is highly impact-resistant, ensuring durability and passenger safety.
Performance stats don’t disappoint. The JAECOO 7 SHS delivers a total system power of 347 bhp and a torque figure of 525 Nm. The numbers translate to a 0–62 mph acceleration time of just 8.5 seconds, with a 0–31 mph time of a mere 3.8 seconds. These figures surpass the results of comparable hybrid SUVs and traditional petrol engines.
In terms of design and utility, the JAECOO 7 SHS is a premium SUV offering both front-wheel and four-wheel-drive options. With its 60-liter petrol tank, long journeys are achievable without compromise. The exterior reflects modern sophistication, while the interior brims with advanced tech features and comfort-enhancing functionality, appealing to both minimalist and tech-savvy drivers.
Pricing for the JAECOO 7 SHS starts at £35,065, making it an accessible yet future-proof investment. Non-hybrid petrol versions start at £29,435, catering to varied buyer preferences. Deliveries begin 31 January, with order books now open for UK customers.
The SHS platform is just the beginning for OMODA & JAECOO’s future in hybrid and electric developments. This marks a significant milestone in redefining hybrid technology for consumers worldwide.
