On its 12th month in Malaysia, OMODA JAECOO proudly announces its impressive sales figures
Yes, a healthy 17,000 units of JAECOO’s are running on Malaysia roads and with this latest Jaecoo J8, looks like OMODA JAECOO will be celebrating the 2nd year anniversary with 34,000 units running around Malaysia.
A major part of the JAECOO sales success from the popularity of the J7 compact SUV. Priced from RM138,800 for the front-wheel drive variant to RM148,800 for the all wheel drive version, its only tangible difference aside from its 4×4 drivetrain being for it to net a larger 14.8-inch central portrait screen (relative to the 13.2-inch unit in the 2WD)
“Defined by four simple words—‘Off Road First Class’— the JAECOO J8 captures the essence and ambition of OMODA | JAECOO – delivering vehicles that redefine expectations in their segment while creating exceptional ownership journeys,” said OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia Vice President, Emily Lek.
“Marking exactly one year since the launch of the popular J7, the JAECOO J8 will now define a new altitude of technology, performance and adventure for the OMODA | JAECOO brand while still keeping with the ethos of attainable luxury.
We celebrate this anniversary with over 17,000 vehicles now on Malaysian roads. We’re deeply grateful for the continued support from our customers across Malaysia,” she added.
Inspired by first-class travel, the JAECOO J8 AWD variant features a refined six-seater layout (2+2+2 configuration), while the 2WD variant adopts a five-seater design, prioritising boot space for everyday versatility.
The JAECOO J8 AWD model provides 200 litres of boot space with the third row upright. With the third-row folded flat (in the J8 AWD), both variants unlock 738 litres of boot space, expanding up to 2,021 litres in the 2WD variant (second-row folded flat) — offering ample room for luggage or adventure essentials.
Once inside, the JAECOO J8 further reveals a harmonious blend of technology, and minimalist luxury. At the heart of the[JD1] sleek wraparound dashboard architecture are twin 12.3-inch widescreen displays, and a wide Head-Up Display (HUD) designed for convenience and intuitive control, complemented by wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.
Taking seating comfort a step further, the J8 AWD variant features a first-in-class Queen’s front passenger seat with adjustable leg support, as well as Heated, Ventilated, Massage, and Memory (HVMM) seats for the driver, front passenger, and second-row occupants.
Complementing this is a microfiber headliner and a customisable 256-colour Infinite Ambient Lighting system, allowing drivers to tailor the cabin ambience to their preference.
The large central console further adds convenience with ample storage and a 50W wireless smartphone charger with built-in cooling — keeping you connected and organised.
Audiophiles will appreciate the premium audio systems tailored for each variant: a 12-speaker Sony system for the J8 2WD, and 14-speaker Sony setup with headrest speakers in the J8 AWD, delivering a rich, immersive listening experience.
Meanwhile, an NFC-based keyless entry, built-in fragrance system, and built-in Digital Video Recorder (DVR) further enhance comfort and safety in the JAECOO J8.
The SUV is equipped with an advanced Level 2.5 ADAS suite inclusive of full speed Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Driver Monitoring System (DMS), Lane Change Assistance (LCA), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), and Forward Distance Monitoring (FDM), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Event Data Recorder (EDR) and Fully Automatic Parking in the AWD variant.
Complementing this is the OneBox brake-by-wire system, seamlessly integrated into the J8’s ADAS safety architecture, which has been specially calibrated for the vehicle’s proportions and driving dynamics.
The JAECOO J8 will be locally assembled at the Chery Corporate Malaysia Factory in Shah Alam—underscoring the brand’s long-term commitment to consumers across Malaysia and its contribution to the national automotive ecosystem.
In line with OMODA | JAECOO’s values of attainable luxury, the ‘Off-Road First Class’ J8 2WD is priced from RM178,800, while the J8 AWD starts from RM198,800.
