On 9 April 2025, the JAECOO J7 scored over 80% across every single Euro NCAP category, walking away with a five-star badge.
With the OMODA C5 already boasting five-star ratings across Euro NCAP, ANCAP, and ASEAN NCAP, the J7 SHS completes a trifecta of top-tier safety recognition.
Euro NCAP is no walk in the park. Adult occupant protection? 81%. Child occupant protection? 80%. Vulnerable road user safety and assist systems? Also hovering at the 80% mark. These are not near-misses, but the kind of consistency under pressure that speaks volumes.
Of course, scoring top marks here doesn’t just happen with a reinforced chassis and some clever airbags. The J7’s battery system is tuned for both endurance and safety, offering reliable performance across a temperature range of -35°C to 60°C.
There’s a reason JAECOO calls it “Super Hybrid.” Since the start of 2025, the J7 has embarked on a globe-trotting mission to prove its mettle. From the bustling expressways of Bangkok to the coastal drives of Brazil, it’s clocked endurance runs that most SUVs would balk at.
The Southeast Asian leg saw 1,427.5 km of combined driving across Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Fuel consumption was a wallet-friendly 3.5L/100km, even with the battery not fully charged. In the Philippines, it bettered itself with a jaw-dropping 1,488.8 km. And over in Brazil, it chalked up 1,453.9 km, cementing second place in the Global Super Hybrid Marathon.
These figures are a reflection of real-world usability, how far you can go, how little you’ll pay to get there, and how safe you’ll be in between.
In a statement, OMODA&JAECOO says this five-star result marks the beginning of its safety innovation strategy. As the J7 ushers in the era of SHS (Super Hybrid System), safety is now a core strand of the DNA embedded across all future models.
So while the J7 might technically be a car, in the wider context of where mobility is headed, it feels a lot more like a statement.
