The 4WD 7 is also claimed to offer genuine off-road ability, with seven driving modes, approach and departure angles of 21deg and 29deg and a breakover angle of 200mm.
A Bosch-developed integrated power braking system can simulate a locking differential. It is priced at £35,065.
As with the 5, European market versions of the 7 will feature bespoke suspension settings tuned for the higher speeds and roads here.
Peter Matkin, Chery’s development chief, said: “We’ve enhanced our internal quality practices to make sure this is up there with the best in the market.”
The 7 features more rugged exterior styling than the 5, including a large front grille and chunky sidelines.
Inside, entry-levels Deluxe models feature a 13.8in portrait-mounted touchscreen and Luxury models a 14.8in version.
All trim levels include surround-view cameras, synthetic leather seats and a panoramic sunroof.
Luxury adds features including an eight-speaker Sony audio system.
Unusually, the ICE and PHEV models feature slightly different interior designs. The ICE model features the gear shifter on the steering column and door handles reset in the door side, while the PHEV has a gear selector in the centre console and larger door rests.
Jaecoo said this is to give the ICE car more of a stripped-out EV feel while making the PHEV feel more conventional and rugged.
The 7 is available to order now, with first UK deliveries due in January 2025.
