Chinese hybrid/electric SUVs expand, AI, 1,000 km PHEV

Entities: JAECOO · OMODA · Jaecoo J5 EV · OMODA 4 · Millbrook Proving Ground

Overview

Chinese‑owned Omoda and Jaecoo continued their global expansion throughout 2026, complementing the “OMODA SUPER AI NIGHT” launch in Indonesia with a rollout of gasoline‑crossover and fully electric models in Mauritius. The brands’ Super Hybrid system – a 1.5 L petrol engine coupled to an 18.3 kWh battery and a 204 PS electric motor – proved its real‑world efficiency when tests in the United Kingdom recorded the Jaecoo 7 SHS‑P achieving 828 miles and the Omoda 7 reaching 770 miles, both surpassing WLTP claims.

Further plug‑in hybrid demonstrations at Millbrook confirmed these results and introduced the Jaecoo 8 SHS‑P flagship. Powered by a 315 kW (428 hp) three‑motor Super Hybrid drivetrain, the 8 SHS‑P delivers a 0‑100 km/h sprint in 5.8 seconds, an electric‑only WLTP range of 135 km, and a combined gasoline‑electric range exceeding 1,000 km, with fuel consumption of 2.1 L/100 km. It also offers Vehicle‑to‑Load capability of up to 6.6 kW. Polish market data showed the Jaecoo 7 Hybrid rated at 224 hp, 5.3 L/100 km fuel use and a top speed of 180 km/h.

These milestones reinforce Chery Group’s strategy of intelligent engineering and responsible mobility, underpinning a 178 % YoY sales rise and solidifying Omoda & Jaecoo as leading NEV brands across Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa and Brazil.
