Fleet and novated lease buyers looking for an affordable, long-range hybrid now have another strong contender to consider. Jaecoo has introduced a new entry-level variant to its growing J7 range—the J7 SHS Track—bringing the brand’s advanced hybrid technology to a sharper driveaway price of $43,990.
This new model arrives with the same focus on value, safety, and smart technology that has helped the J7 gain traction globally and locally. For fleets prioritising whole-of-life costs, employee safety, and predictable operating expenses, the Track variant represents an appealing gateway into Jaecoo’s Super Hybrid System (SHS) platform.
Efficient Hybrid Performance with Long-Range Capability
Under the bonnet, the J7 SHS Track uses Jaecoo’s innovative Super Hybrid System (SHS), pairing a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with a single electric motor. Together, the system delivers up to 1,200 km of total driving range, offering the benefits of electric motoring without range anxiety—ideal for mixed-use fleets or regional operators.
For novated lease buyers, the hybrid efficiency and long-range capability translate to reduced fuel costs and fewer fill-ups, while still providing responsive performance around town.
Strong Safety Package as Standard
Despite launching at a lower price point, the Track variant retains the high safety specification of the rest of the J7 SHS line-up. Key standard safety and driver-assist features include:
- 360° Around View Monitor
- Eight airbags
- Acoustic front windscreen for quieter cabins
- LED headlamps and tail lamps
- Retractable door handles for improved aerodynamics
For businesses with a duty of care to drivers—or councils operating under a safety-first framework—these inclusions ensure compliance without needing to step up to higher model grades.
Comfort and Tech for Daily Drivers
Inside, Jaecoo continues to overdeliver on features for the price. The cabin technology and comfort levels are particularly attractive for staff spending long hours on the road.
Interior highlights include:
- 13.2-inch central touchscreen
- 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster
- Wireless & wired Apple CarPlay + Android Auto
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Synthetic leather upholstery
- “Hello Jaecoo” intelligent voice control
- 6-speaker audio system
- Inbuilt GPS navigation
These inclusions make the Track not only a fleet-suitable hybrid SUV, but also a very competitive novated leasing option thanks to the mix of comfort, convenience, and tech-forward features.
Comprehensive 8-Year Ownership Program
Every J7 SHS Track is supported by Jaecoo’s long-term ownership package, delivering cost certainty for both fleet operators and salary-packaged drivers:
- 8-year unlimited-kilometre warranty
- 8 years of capped-price servicing
- Up to 8 years of roadside assistance
This consistency across the ownership cycle helps fleets forecast operating costs with confidence and reduces risk for employers offering novated lease programs.
Future Price Promise Now Included
One standout benefit across the Jaecoo range is the Future Price Promise—an industry-first program guaranteeing a minimum future value for eligible vehicles.
Unlike traditional guaranteed-future-value offers tied to finance, Jaecoo’s program applies regardless of how you purchase the vehicle, giving fleets and novated buyers added protection against market fluctuations.
This certainty strengthens the business case for organisations evaluating resale risk as part of their procurement strategy.
Growing Popularity in Global and Local Markets
The J7’s momentum isn’t limited to Australia. Overseas, the model has surged in popularity:
- Best-selling Chinese-built vehicle in the UK in October (2,611 units)
- Top-selling PHEV in the UK in August
Australia is mirroring this trend, with more than 2,000 units sold since launch earlier this year—a strong indicator of market acceptance and confidence in the newcomer brand.
Final Thoughts
For fleets aiming to refresh their SUV pool with low-emission, feature-rich vehicles—and for novated lease buyers wanting premium tech without the premium price—the Jaecoo J7 SHS Track brings a compelling mix of efficiency, equipment, and ownership certainty.
The competitive driveaway pricing, backed by the 8-year support program and Future Price Promise, positions Jaecoo as a disruptor worth watching in the fleet and novated leasing space.
