Video Description
Welcome to our in-depth review of the brand new Jaecoo J7 PHEV, a game-changing plug-in hybrid that has arrived in the South African market! In this video, we dive deep into the J7's impressive performance, highlighting its seamless integration of a 150 kW electric motor and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. We put its incredible fuel efficiency to the test, revealing how we achieved an average of just 2.8 L/100 km and even got it down to an astonishing 1.3 L/100 km! Join us as we explore the J7's practical side, discussing how its PHEV technology eliminates range anxiety, making it the perfect companion for South African road trips. We also examine its user-friendly 15-inch infotainment screen, its serene, quiet cabin, and the generous 7-year/200 000 km service plan and 10-year battery warranty that comes standard. While the boot space may be a minor drawback, we conclude that the Jaecoo J7 is not just a "good car for the price"—it's a genuinely great car that happens to be offered at an exceptional price. 00:26 - Initial Impressions & Market 02:16 - Drivetrain & Performance 02:39 - Fuel Efficiency & Driving 04:28 - Addressing Range Anxiety 00:38 - Software Updates 14:15 - Boot Space & Practicality 19:00 - Interior Features & Design Save 10% on car insurance when you buy online: https://www.budgetinsurance.co.za/car-insurance/?vdn=BYCLD&utm_medium=generic direct&utm_source=carscoza Visit Cars.co.za at: https://www.cars.co.za Sell your car on Cars.co.za: https://www.cars.co.za/sell-car/ Follow Cars.co.za on the socials: https://www.twitter.com/CarsSouthAfrica https://www.facebook.com/CarsSA https://www.instagram.com/CarsSouthAfrica https://www.tiktok.com/@carssouthafrica Download the Cars.co.za App here: Apple https://apps.apple.com/za/app/cars-co-za/id626789511 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mushroomcloud.cars&hl=en_ZA&gl=US Huawei App Gallery https://appgallery.huawei.com/#/app/C100880073
