OMODA | JAECOO MALAYSIA STRENGTHENS CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT WITH JAECOO J7 PHEV SHS TREASURE HUNT 2025
KUALA LUMPUR, 18 DECEMBER 2025 — OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia recently concluded the JAECOO J7 PHEV SHS Treasure Hunt 2025, a nationwide customer engagement initiative created to bring customers closer to the brand while demonstrating the impressive real-world efficiency of the JAECOO J7 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV).
The multi-day journey combined scenic drives, interactive challenges, and community-building activities, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to providing innovative and eco-conscious mobility solutions.
Chery Corporate Malaysia Executive Vice-President Men Lin Bo explained, “The OMODA I JAECOO Super Hybrid System (SHS) is the cornerstone of our strategy in Malaysia. The JAECOO J7 PHEV was the first model to feature this breakthrough drivetrain. By intelligently balancing power and efficiency, it delivers exactly what our discerning customers seek.”
The Treasure Hunt was held across three major regions in Malaysia, each offering its own unique routes and planned stops. The Northern leg, held from 3 to 4 December, took participants through Penang, Kedah, and Perak, while the Central region event on 5 to 6 December guided teams through Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Seremban. The adventure concluded in the Southern region from 7 to 8 December, where participants explored Johor and Melaka.
A total of 77 JAECOO J7 SUVs, with 160 participants in total, took part across the three regional competitions, forming a lively convoy that highlighted the spirit of adventure and demonstrated how PHEV technology supports sustainable mobility in everyday driving scenarios.
In each region, participant groups—consisting of five vehicles each—followed pre-determined routes to popular landmarks, attractions, and authorised OMODA | JAECOO dealer points. At every stop, teams completed tasks designed to test teamwork, navigation skills, and creativity.
Challenges ranged from general knowledge to creating photo and video content. Points were earned for each completed activity, with final rankings and prizes presented at the end of each regional event.
The event also provided a platform for owners to share their experiences with the JAECOO J7 PHEV and its efficiency in real-world use.
Dr. Karan Nair from Kuala Lumpur shared, “I travel from Sendayan to the Klang Valley and places in between four to five days a week in my J7 PHEV. I’m very pleased that I only need to fill up fuel once a week.”
Echoing these claims, owner Sasha How Kuan Yee said, “I recently travelled from Melaka to Penang for a 3 days 2 nights stay. My J7 PHEV showed a remaining range of 100 km after returning to Melaka. Recharging is also easy, simply plugging into a 3-point outlet for additional driving range.”
This customer event builds on earlier milestones for the JAECOO J7 PHEV. In October 2024, Malaysian media joined representatives from six other countries—Italy, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom—in an ultra-long-range driving marathon from Guangzhou to Wuhu, China.
The multinational convoy successfully travelled more than 1,300 km on a single tank of fuel and a fully charged battery without stopping to recharge. The 13-hour drive covered diverse real-world driving conditions, including heavy morning traffic, national highways, and high-speed intercity expressways, underscoring the adaptability and endurance of the J7 PHEV.
During the challenge, the JAECOO J7 PHEV exceeded expectations by achieving an all-electric driving range of 125.2 km—surpassing the official 106 km pure-electric rating. This performance is credited to JAECOO’s Super Hybrid System (SHS) Technology, which intelligently manages energy distribution to maintain optimal efficiency even in a power-depleted state.
Following this, in January 2025, five JAECOO J7 Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (2WD) also embarked on a long-distance journey from Singapore through Malaysia to Hatyai, Thailand, to further test the limits of the J7 PHEV’s range. The cross-border drive saw all five vehicles surpass the claimed 1,200 km WLTP range, with the longest distance recorded at an impressive 1,427.5 km.
Locally assembled in Shah Alam, the JAECOO J7 PHEV is priced at RM158,800 and features a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined system output of 347 PS and 525 Nm. The engine is paired with a continuously variable Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), and a dedicated hybrid battery pack to deliver more power and greater savings on fuel.
