Jaecoo 7 Hybrid Amazonite Blue – A 2025 Plug‑in That Balances Style and Value
The Jaecoo 7 Hybrid in the eye‑catching Amazonite Blue finish is one of the most talked‑about releases of 2025. Positioned as a mid‑size plug‑in hybrid SUV, it aims to combine the practicality of a family car with the efficiency of a modern electric drivetrain. Below we explore its key specifications, pricing, grant eligibility and how it stacks up against other new Chinese electric models.
Why the Jaecoo 7 Hybrid Stands Out
Jaecoo, a brand that has been expanding its portfolio across Europe, targets drivers who want a low‑emission vehicle without sacrificing interior space or technology. The Amazonite Blue paint adds a premium visual cue that differentiates it from the more common white or black SUVs on the market.
- Powertrain: 1.5 L turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 70 kW electric motor, delivering a combined output of 180 hp.
- Battery capacity: 14.2 kWh lithium‑ion pack, offering up to 55 km (34 mi) of electric‑only range under WLTP conditions.
- Fuel economy: 1.5 L/100 km (≈156 mpg) when operating in hybrid mode.
- Charging: 7.2 kW AC onboard charger; full charge in about 3 hours from a standard home socket.
- Dimensions: 4,620 mm length, 1,860 mm width, 1,680 mm height; 540 L boot space, expanding to 1,650 L with rear seats folded.
Pricing and the Electric Car Grant
In the UK, the Jaecoo 7 Hybrid is priced at £29,990 before taxes. The vehicle qualifies for the UK government’s Electric Car Grant, which can reduce the purchase price by up to £3,750 for eligible plug‑in hybrids with a combined CO₂ emission of 50 g/km or less. After applying the maximum grant, the effective cost drops to around £26,240, putting the Jaecoo 7 Hybrid in a competitive range against many fully electric rivals.
Interior Comfort and Technology
The Amazonite Blue model features a dual‑screen infotainment system (10.2‑inch central display and 8.0‑inch digital instrument cluster). Standard connectivity includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and a built‑in Wi‑Fi hotspot
