Customer Reviews of the Jaecoo 7

1st time I tried Chinese car so far it’s a good experience

The infotainment system is a nightmare. Heating controls are a faff. Silly gear stalk location. Wipers are a fiddle. Windows buttons are upside down..I challenge any to open the windows a little bit without having to operate 5 key strokes. Stupid in vehicle presence. (I have a dog) The dark mode resets to white. Alarms goes of randomly. As I hate the car so much now I try not to use it. Battery goes flat. If you open the sunroof then walk away , the alarm goes off. Rubbish car.

Nice car at a very good price minor issues with sat nav and radio faults but otherwise been great value

I don’t know what I was thinking when leasing this car this car has actually come with number of problems which I physically cannot deal with literally buttons stop working wear you control the seats to go up and down. Then when you are trying to put the car in drive it actually needs pressing 3 to 4 times even then it goes into neutral it’s annoying as hell. Barely anny boot space. I was told this car was a pearl sliver looks more like a blue. No mats came with it. What makes it worst when ur driving if it don’t have electricity in it the hybrid part it starts making sounds like the engine will blow I mean come on. Biggest mistake don’t know what I was thinking.

Reasonably happy with the car except radio has never worked properly . The interior also smelt of petrol inside - at service they found the manifold had been fitted the wrong way by the factory . The radio is apparently a known fault in these cars ?? Also the battery only lasts after a full charge for max 20 miles before it needs recharged - at service all they done was to turn all instruments off which made no difference either - very frustrating in terms of after care service and the vehicle is not fully fit for purpose .

Car has many faults and glitches, there is a design fault with the car causing a £900 bill for new radiator. Jaecoo not really interested in dealing with it. Cant wait to get out of the car

It’s very easy to drive an has all the gadgets an looks nice , it dos have a few glitches which will need sorting out , and its not very comfy on long drives

Likes. Value for money. Very high spec including sunroof. 6900 miles first year . Still have 140 miles range on original tank of fuel! Charge most nights on 3pin socket with granny charger. Costs about £13 a month via BG tariff 8p kw/hr. Getting stated 58 miles on pure electric over winter and up to 75 miles in summer ( i drive like an old f...t). So i guess one of the cheapest cars to run out there. Just had first service £230. Insurance £340 for second year. 1st year was £240. Could have got second year cheaper at £248 but hadnt heard of company so stuck with Aviva. Very quite ride even when ICE kicks in which you can not detect switching in. Unless i travel more than 60 miles in any one return journey then i expect to return the car after 3 years with never having to buy any more petrol other than the original tank. Ride acceptable. Similar or better than equivalent phevs i tested. Dislikes Personally,none. Neighbours have been woken up about 3 times by the car randomly sounding the horn a couple of times when i first got in car in the mornining. Apologised to my neighbour and told her i bought it on Temu.
