Jaecoo enters the Australian market with a distinctly premium take on design and features. Despite the upmarket style, the brand remains firmly rooted in value.
Chery's luxury subsidiary has released a plug-in hybrid variant of its large SUV, the Jaecoo J8. It's one of the only of its kind, but is it a runaway success?
Jaecoo’s absurdly sleek J8 SUV has arrived in a bit of a blaze. In top-spec all-wheel-drive Ridge form, it slots under $60k on the road, and is packed with gear.
A new generation of hybrids promises efficient running in both urban and highway conditions. Just how realistic are these claims? We hit the long road in a Jaecoo hybrid SUV to find out.
