Overview
The 2027 Jaecoo J8 SHS Summit AWD is a 7-seat plug-in hybrid SUV with all-wheel drive and an automatic. It's priced from $59,990 RRP, which means before on-road costs like rego and stamp duty. It has a claimed electric-only range of 169km (NEDC) from its 34.4kWh battery, and official combined fuel use is 1.2L/100km, though that test starts with a charged battery and we don't have a flat-battery fuel figure on record yet. Boot space is 200 litres with all seats up and 2,021 litres with the rear seats folded. It suits families who want seven seats and can plug in regularly to make the most of the electric range.

Battery and Charging
AC is home or destination charging. DC is public fast charging. Typical 10 to 80% is the useful fast-charge window. Battery preheating and a heat pump both protect fast-charging speed and range in the cold. 🏆 marks the strongest car per row.

The 2026 Jaecoo J8 Track 2WD is a petrol SUV with 5 seats, an automatic gearbox and drive going to the front wheels. It's priced at $49,990 drive-away (VIC), and that figure already covers the on-road costs for that state. Fuel use is 8.3L/100km on the combined cycle, and the boot holds 520 litres with the seats up or 2,021 litres with the rear seats folded. We don't have a braked towing capacity for it yet. It suits a family after a big boot and a long warranty who doesn't need drive to all four wheels.
