The rear cabin gets plenty of room for adults, with a central armrest, reclining seatback, air vents, USB ports, and optional seat heating. A 14.8-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen powered by a Qualcomm 8155 chip dominates the dashboard. Nearly all vehicle functions like driving modes, climate, cameras, and lights are controlled via the touchscreen. A swipe-down quick menu adjusts volume, brightness and other functions. There’s 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster with crisp graphics. A head-up display projects speed and navigation data onto the windshield.

The 2025 Jaecoo J7 PHEV sports a waterfall-style grille. It’s upright and finished in gloss black with vertical chrome slats. A thick chrome line surrounds the grille that seamlessly flows into the headlight design. The car gets all-around LED lighting. The slim headlamp clusters with multi-pixel modules offer adaptive beam control. The blade-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs) add visual width. The fog lights are embedded in vertically oriented black bezels with satin silver surrounds. The roof gently slopes towards the rear in coupe-inspired fashion. The blacked-out A-pillars and D- pillars forge a floating roof effect. The sheet metal gets a strong shoulder line that runs from the front fender to the taillights with chiselled lower doors. The car runs on 19-inch alloy wheels. The doors get pop-out flush handles. The taillights stretch across the tailgate and feature animated welcome/goodbye sequences on start-up or shutdown. The lighting motif uses a ‘light blade’ bar flanked by pixel-style clusters. A large chrome JAECOO lettering dominates the tailgate.

The 2025 Jaecoo J7 PHEV’s added 250kg weight over that standard version, gives it a slightly softer suspension setup compared to the petrol version. This leads to improved ride comfort, notably smoothing over bumps and rough roads. On larger bumps and sharp edges, the PHEV’ cabin receives noticeable thuds and clunks. Within the city, the electric-only mode contributes to a calm in-cabin experience. Wind and road noise are nicely suppressed at low to medium speeds. At a cruising speed, the Jaecoo J7 remains composed, with minimal bounce or floating effect. Lane changing and overtaking feel settled, and there’s no excessive pitch. On city roads, the suspension may sometimes feel stiff-legged, particularly over potholes and speed bumps. The rear-end can thump if it encounters a sharp edge. On patched roads, the car may exhibit a fidgety nature.
