KUALA LUMPUR: Jaecoo Malaysia has delivered its first 500 units of the J7 premium off-road SUV to dealerships, well within its anticipated schedule.
The first 500 units comprise the Jaecoo all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant.
The next group of J7 SUVs will be delivered in September, comprising the two-wheel-drive (2WD) variant.
"It has been a great year for Jaecoo beginning with an exciting preview period which led to an overwhelmingly positive reception during 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.
The J7 all-wheel drive (AWD) variant is priced at RM148,800, and the TWD variant is priced at RM138,800.
Jaecoo's pricing strategy has positioned the J7 as a formidable challenger in the C-segment SUV category as an attainable luxury brand.
"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 family," said Jaecoo Malaysia vice president Emily Lek.
Both variants of the Jaecoo J7 come with a seven-year warranty or up to 150,000km mileage.
