Jaecoo 7 PHEV: The Brits love this car - why exactly?
In the UK, the Jaecoo 7 was the most popular car model for several months of the year. The "Temu Range Rover" offers a lot of space and range at an affordable price. That's how it drives.
Köln and Düsseldorf – the British have always had an unusual taste in cars. While French and German drivers prefer domestic brands, the UK has been dominated by brands like Ford and Nissan for at least a decade. Two years ago, a new brand joined the mix, one that many Germans might raise an eyebrow at: Jaecoo? Rarely heard of. In the UK, however, the Jaecoo 7 was the best-selling car in September, even outpacing the Tesla Model 3 and the Ford Puma.
Nearly 40,000 Jaecoo 7s were sold in the entire year. So how did this happen? The answer is, as expected, a Chinese automaker. Chery, the fifth-largest manufacturer in China, launched Jaecoo in 2023 exclusively for export. In China, the Jaecoo 7 is sold as the Chery Tansuo 06.
