Jaecoo J7 SHS PHEV Review: Real World Electric Range Test & Walkaround

In this episode, Tom and Joy from Ludicrous Feed provide a detailed review of the Jaecoo J7 SHS Super Hybrid PHEV in Sydney, Australia, covering its specifications, real-world performance, and design. They discuss the two available variants, Track and Summit, including their driveaway pricing, the 18.3 kWh LFP battery, and the achieved electric range of 98 km from 100% to 15% state of charge. The review includes a thorough walkaround examining the exterior design cues and flush door handles, an interior inspection of the second-row space and boot storage, and a test drive assessing steering feel, suspension comfort, and the effectiveness of the regen braking system on both city streets and the highway. Comparisons are drawn to the fully electric Jaecoo J5 and competitors like the Geely Starray EMI and BYD Sealion 6, focusing on dimensions, value, and driving dynamics, while also highlighting features such as the dual-zone climate control, ventilated seats, and the functionality of the EV+ mode for extended electric driving | Video by Tom Gan (Tesla Tom) and Joy of Ludicrous Feed from Sydney Australia January 2026 Jaecoo J7 SHS PHEV Review: Real World Electric Range Test & Walkaround ===== Financial Disclosure: - This vehicle was on loan from Chery for the purposes of review, testing, and content creation With thanks to our sponsors: 🔌⚡️ Explore Powershop's EV Energy Plans ⚡️🔌 Sign up to a Powershop EV plan to receive $100 CREDIT off your Electricity Bill* https://bit.ly/4nl1liy carloop - Australian EV Data & Ownership Trends https://carloop.com.au/ *Must be a new Powershop residential customer, or an existing Powershop residential customer who is moving premises, and taking up your first electricity market contract with Powershop for the premises you switch.
