Summary
The Jaecoo 8 is a large six- or seven-seat SUV and the new flagship model in Jaecoo’s UK range. Now available to order, the SUV is currently only offered as a plug-in hybrid.
Powered by the same hybrid powertrain as the Chery Group stablemates like the Omoda 9 and Chery Tiggo 9, the Jaecoo 8 has just become available to order at the time of writing, and the British motoring media is yet to score the model in its reviews. That is sure to change in the coming weeks.
Once reviewers have got their hands on the SUV, and when we receive running cost estimations for the model, we will give the Jaecoo 8 an Expert Rating score. Check back soon!
