JAECOO Malaysia’s maiden premium SUV model, the J7, and its off-road capabilities was recently put to the test at the Malaysia 4WD Training and Experience Centre (M4TREC) in Semenyih. Navigating a grueling circuit featuring six dynamic terrains, drivers and passengers witnessed first-hand the J7’s superior off-road capabilities.
Powering through the complexities of diverse driving conditions
Speaking about the brand’s distinct appeal, JAECOO Malaysia President, Leo Chen, shares, “JAECOO is redefining how drivers enjoy the urban off-road driving experience with sophisticated style, as embodied in the brand’s ethos, “From Classic, Beyond Classic”. Seeking to set the benchmark as a challenger C segment SUV, the J7 promises superior driving control to navigate various weather and road conditions, as well as terrains.”
“The expectations on SUVs today are higher and more demanding than ever in line with the dynamic driving conditions drivers face today. By showcasing the J7’s best in class capability and durability on tough terrains at M4TREC recently, we’re giving drivers the confidence to be fearless when exploring adventures off the beaten track,” said JAECOO Malaysia Vice President, Emily Lek.
Intelligent drive system
The J7 incorporates the advanced All-Road Drive Intelligent System (ARDIS) with seven terrain driving modes. Beyond the standard economy, normal, and sports modes, the JAECOO J7 All-Wheel Drive (AWD) variant in particular, has four additional terrain modes to navigate sand, mud, snowfield and off road terrains. The J7 also has a water wading capacity of 600 mm which excelled in M4TREC’s deep water wading environment, a testament to the model’s unparalleled capability in the face of the toughest driving conditions.
The SUV’s 540-degree camera served as a significant tool to navigate the M4TREC obstacle course. With dynamic visuals presented on a 14.8-inch infotainment screen (AWD), the camera provided drivers with a three-dimensional (3D) and transparent view of the car’s surroundings at the touch of a button.
Intuitive driving control
Equipped with a 1.6TGDI engine, the J7 delivers an impressive maximum power of 194 HP and 290Nm of torque. Furthermore, its 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (7-DCT) enables lightning-fast shifting speed at 0.2-seconds, empowering off-road adventurers to power through unpredictable terrains in any weather.
In addition, AWD torque intervention offers a reaction time as low as 0.1 seconds during challenging conditions.
JAECOO Malaysia took the J7 through the notably challenging M4TREC course which included the side slope, frame twister, ridge crossing, roller ramp, water wading environments.
