Jaecoo 8 UK Launch: Everything You Need to Know About the New Flagship SUV

The Jaecoo 8, also referred to as the J8 in some regions, made its first public appearance at the 2023 Geneva Motor Show in Qatar. It has since been rolled out in select global markets, and the UK is set to see it in our showrooms from winter 2024 into early 2025.

From the outside, the Jaecoo 8 makes a strong impression. Its bold front grille, muscular proportions, and sharp LED lighting give it an assertive stance. Compared with the Jaecoo 7, which has a sportier, more compact look, the Jaecoo 8 feels more imposing — exactly what you’d expect from a three-row SUV.

Inside, Jaecoo has gone all out with a premium finish. Buyers can expect leather upholstery, soft-touch materials, and a dashboard dominated by dual-curved digital displays, with a massive 15.6-inch infotainment screen at the centre. Add to that a 14-speaker Sony sound system, and the Jaecoo 8 certainly makes its case as a tech-laden family SUV.

The Jaecoo 8 will be offered in both petrol and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) options.

  • The petrol version uses a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine producing around 261 bhp and 400 Nm of torque. This makes it one of the more powerful offerings in its class, especially compared with mid-range Korean and Japanese rivals.
  • The plug-in hybrid pairs a 1.5-litre turbo petrol with an electric motor, delivering up to 395 kW (530+ bhp) and 650 Nm of torque in some export markets. That’s a huge figure for a family SUV and puts the Jaecoo 8 in the same league as some performance-oriented plug-in hybrids.

Both versions come with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, with the AWD models benefitting from advanced systems such as ARDIS intelligent torque management for off-road stability.

The Jaecoo 8 isn’t just about size and power. It also packs advanced safety and technology features that UK buyers will expect in a premium SUV. Highlights include:

  • CDC Adaptive Suspension for a smoother ride over varying road surfaces.
  • Dual 12.3-inch curved screens for driver information and infotainment, powered by a Snapdragon 8155 processor for quick response times.
  • Sony 14-speaker surround system for high-end audio quality.
  • Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more.
  • Up to 10 airbags on higher trims.

These features put the Jaecoo 8 on par with many European rivals, while often undercutting them on price.
