Chinese brand Omoda Jaecoo has added another plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) to its local lineup.<\/p>\n

Its largest SUV, the Jaecoo J8, is now available in a single highly specified PHEV variant, priced at $59,990 before on-road costs. It’s reaching showrooms this month.<\/p>\n

The J8 SHS Summit shares its tri-motor all-wheel drive PHEV powertrain with the identically priced Chery Tiggo 9 Ultimate Super Hybrid<\/a>, as well as the more expensive Omoda 9<\/a> ($61,990 plus on-roads).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Specification differences between the J8 SHS and the Chery Tiggo 9 Ultimate, which also features seven seats, are minor. The J8 gets an eight-way (instead of six-way) power driver\u2019s seat, as well as adaptive dampers and a built-in fragrance system, though it doesn\u2019t include the Tiggo 9\u2019s semi-autonomous parking assist feature on its spec sheet.<\/p>\n

The rest of the J8 lineup uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine without any electrification, as well as a five-seat layout, giving further points of differentiation from its Chery-badged corporate cousin.<\/p>\n

The Jaecoo J8 was launched last year as Omoda Jaecoo’s second model in Australia.<\/p>\n
