This year, Jaecoo Malaysia is busy making waves.

In less than a month after the launch of the latest Jaecoo J7 PHEV model, another model is set to be launched soon – the Jaecoo J8.

Previewed earlier in 2024, the Jaecoo J8 is now on public display at One Utama Shopping Centre in Petaling Jaya from March 27-30.

The Jaecoo J8 has the following dimensions: 4,820 mm long, 1,930 mm wide, and 1,699 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,820 mm.

Thanks to its relatively long dimensions, the Jaecoo J8 is available in two configurations: two rows (five seats) or three rows (six seats).

The SUV is powered by a 2.0-liter turbo engine producing 249 PS and 385 Nm, paired with a eight-speed automatic transmission. It will be available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (AWD).

The driving experience is further enhanced by a Continuous Damping Control (CDC) system, exclusive to the AWD variant, and a water wading depth of 450 mm.

Exterior features include full LED lighting, 20-inch alloy rims, embedded door handles, a Mercedes-style Panamericana grille structure, and a floating roof design.

The cabin layout is reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, featuring twin 12.3-inch screens and a panoramic sunroof.

The Jaecoo J8 2WD includes a 540-degree camera system, a Sony audio system with 12 speakers, and a cargo space of 738 liters.

The AWD version upgrades to a Sony audio system with 14 speakers, 10 airbags, an automatic fragrance system, NFC-based key system, power-adjustable first and second-row seats, ventilation for the driver, and leather and suede trim in the cabin.

The J8 AWD offers a significantly smaller cargo space of 200 liters, in contrast to the 2WD version.

The estimated selling price starts from RM195,000 for the 2WD version and goes up to RM220,000 for the AWD version.

Those interested in seeing the Jaecoo J8 SUV up close can visit One Utama Shopping Centre (GF Luxe) from March 27-31, Queensbay Mall (April 9-13), and the Malaysia Autoshow 2025 (May 8-15).
