With so many UK publications and YouTube channels falling down the apples and pears to review this thing, should we actually be surprised?
The Jaecoo J7 (simply called the Jaecoo 7 in Blighty) beat usual high-performers Ford Puma (9,193 units), Nissan Qashqai (8,718) and Kia Sportage (7,310) to become Britain’s best-selling car last month (10,064), Autocar reports. First time ever for a Chinese car. I mean, I know they’re both tea-drinking nations, but I think the similarities well and truly end there.
The SUV is also in second place in terms of year-to-date (YTD) sales, its 15,569 units hot on the heels of the Puma’s 16,128. Jaecoo entered the UK with the J7 only in January 2025. That means the model took just a year to reach the top of what is known to be a very particular, mature, discerning, sophisticated, supercilious and historically-traditional car market. Without – shock horror – any Brooklands racing pedigree!
Plus, the fact that it flatters (of which imitation is the sincerest form) the Range Rover – A Very, Very British Institution – makes its quick rise all the more impressive. The Jaecoo J7 is available in petrol, hybrid and PHEV flavours in the UK. In Malaysia, the SUV managed 19th in March and is now 20th YTD.

even the brits themselve arent that stupid to support homegrown brand landrover. they are smart enough to love commie cars over there. only the ignorant malaysians such as newme , kongkeydong, exvgmstaff , benyap, frankc are still bashing jaecoo/omoda.
Reminds me of the early success Proton achieved in the UK.
