It’s a rare car that doesn’t evoke at least some emotions… We won’t talk about negative ones, but we usually call “emotional” models that stimulate and provoke driver’s ambitions.
But the Jaecoo J8 literally calls with its whole being: calm down, relax and enjoy the comfort that surrounds you.
The Jaecoo brand is very young. The Chery concern announced the birth of this sub-brand in April last year at the motor show in Ukha, and it came to Russia only in the fall with the only J7 model, which we tested on the roads of Chechnya, Ingushetia and North Ossetia. It must be said that a comfortable and very good-looking car, aimed at fans of outdoor activities, immediately found its audience: in just a few months, 4,389 “Cool Hunters” were sold (the brand name Jaecoo is a merger of the German “Jäger”, that is hunter, and “Cool”, which, as everyone knows, is translated from English as “cool”).
Not bad, not bad at all for a beginner! But a brand with one model is not solid, and back in September last year it was announced that in 2024 the large crossover Jaecoo J8 would join the Russian line. But how complicated it is with these Chinese: in Shanghai this car was shown under the name Jaecoo 9 – it is also a product of badge engineering for the flagship Chery Tiggo 9 (which, by the way, should also appear in Russia)
