2026 Jaecoo J8 price and specs

Chinese brand Omoda Jaecoo has added another plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) to its local lineup.

Its largest SUV, the Jaecoo J8, is now available in a single highly specified PHEV variant, priced at $59,990 before on-road costs. It’s reaching showrooms this month.

The J8 SHS Summit shares its tri-motor all-wheel drive PHEV powertrain with the identically priced Chery Tiggo 9 Ultimate Super Hybrid, as well as the more expensive Omoda 9 ($61,990 plus on-roads).

Specification differences between the J8 SHS and the Chery Tiggo 9 Ultimate, which also features seven seats, are minor. The J8 gets an eight-way (instead of six-way) power driver’s seat, as well as adaptive dampers and a built-in fragrance system, though it doesn’t include the Tiggo 9’s semi-autonomous parking assist feature on its spec sheet.

The rest of the J8 lineup uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine without any electrification, as well as a five-seat layout, giving further points of differentiation from its Chery-badged corporate cousin.

The Jaecoo J8 was launched last year as Omoda Jaecoo’s second model in Australia.
