Poised to usher in a new era of sustainable and high-technology mobility in the country, global automaker JAECOO has introduced the first-of-its-kind Super Hybrid System (SHS) technology that boasts the smoothest turbo-charged powertrain in the SUV segment in the market. The Super Hybrid System is built into the brand’s first hybrid SUV, the JAECOO J7 SHS, which will soon be available in the Philippines.
The Super Hybrid System powers the J7 SHS to travel great distances on both hybrid and pure electric modes, distinguishing it as a true leader in the hybrid SUV segment. Powered by the brand’s newly-engineered technology, the new model has driven a distance of 1,488.8 kilometers on a full fuel tank and a single charge during the Automobile Association Philippines Verification Range Test in February 2025, exceeding its published extended range of 1,200+ km. It can also drive as far as 106 km while on pure electric mode.
The model’s Super Hybrid System is powered by a 201 HP motor and 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, is a testament to the 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.
The J7 SHS is built with an 18.3 kWh lithium-ion battery that can power up from 30% to 80% in just 20 minutes, maximizing motorists’ time on the road. Its built-in all-around battery protection system can withstand temperatures from -35°C to 60°C, making it resistant to certain elements.
Full control on the road thanks to J7 SHS’ stylish and functional design
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 road crush 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 introduction of the Super Hybrid System technology that’s built into the JAECOO J7 SHS in the country,” 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. We are confident that Filipinos will love the JAECOO J7 SHS when it finally launches in the country.”
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 Php 1.7 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.
