Jaecoo Reviews
Jaecoo has become the fastest-growing mainstream car brand the UK has seen in a decade — and the Jaecoo 7 was the country's third best-selling new car year-to-date in 2026, launched barely a year earlier. Here's what road tests say about it.
A Genuinely Unprecedented UK Launch
Jaecoo only arrived in UK showrooms in January 2025, backed by Chinese manufacturer Chery, which has built cars for over 25 years and exports to more than 80 countries. The scale of Jaecoo's UK growth since has been genuinely without recent precedent — the Jaecoo 7 alone racked up over 26,000 registrations in 2025, making it the fourth most popular retail car in the country in its debut year, and by 2026 it had climbed to third best-selling new car overall. That growth has been backed by a genuinely long seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty as standard across the range, alongside an eight-year battery warranty on electrified models.
Reviewers consistently point to sharp pricing and generous standard equipment as the reason buyers are taking notice, with the Jaecoo 7 undercutting many established rivals while matching or beating their specification lists. Because the brand is still so new to the UK, independent reliability data over several years of ownership genuinely doesn't exist yet, something worth keeping in mind alongside the warranty backing. The summaries below cover what several independent testers actually found behind the wheel of each model.
