JAECOO Malaysia has officially begun delivering its first 500 units of the C-segment J7 sports utility vehicle (SUV). 

The company says its promise to deliver the first batch by Q3 2024 is well within its anticipated schedule as it has only been three weeks since the model's official launch. 

The first 500 units are of the All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) variant, while the next group of J7s will comprise the Two-Wheel-Drive (2WD) variant - to be delivered in September.

“It has been a great year for Jaecoo beginning with an exciting preview period which led to an overwhelmingly positive receptionduring the official launch of the J7. We are very excited to deliver the first 500 units of our J7 and we are equally excited to place customers in the driver’s seat of Malaysia’s hottest premium off-road SUV,” said Chery Corporate Malaysia executive vice president Leo Chen. 

Jaecoo attributes the progress towards having worked over the past seven months to set up a self-sufficient ecosystem and network.

"Our focus is on maintaining a steady momentum of delivering orders for the J7 in the coming months. We are also very happy to share that our network is ready to immerse our customers in the Jaecoo “From Classic, Beyond Classic” premium customer experience, from vehicle handovers to after-sales service,” said Jaecoo Malaysia vice president Emily Lek.

The J7 AWD variant is priced at RM148,800 and the 2WD variant is priced at RM138,800. 

Both variants come with a seven-year warranty or up to 150,000km mileage. 

Jaecoo customers will be supported by a nationwide dealership network comprising 35 locations across the country, a dedicated production plant and a Jaecoo genuine parts warehouse.
