2026 Jaecoo J7 price and specs: Entry-level grade axed in Australia

• 2026 Jaecoo J7 pricing and specifications
• Entry-level J7 Core petrol discontinued in Australia
• Plug-in hybrid J7 SHS now offered in cheaper Track grade
• Priced from $37,990 drive-away

The most affordable version of Omoda Jaecoo's first model in Australia has been discontinued, less than 12 months after it launched.

Omoda Jaecoo has axed the entry-level Core variant of its Jaecoo J7 mid-size SUV, which was priced from $34,990 drive-away, leaving two petrol grades and two plug-in hybrid grades.

The 2026 Jaecoo J7 now starts from $37,990 drive-away for the front-wheel-drive Track petrol, and continues to top out at $47,990 drive-away for the SHS Summit front-wheel-drive PHEV.

However, until February 28, 2026, Omoda Jaecoo is offering $3000 cashback across the Model Year 2025 (MY25) Jaecoo J7 range, bringing the Track down to the outgoing Core's $34,990 price point.

Compared to the J7 Core, the Track adds dual-zone climate control, an eight-speaker Sony audio system, a 50-watt wireless smartphone charger, heated front seats, and front parking sensors.

It is also fitted with an electric tailgate, a 360-degree camera, rain-sensing wipers, electric child safety locks, acoustic windscreen glass, a driver's knee airbag, illuminated vanity mirrors, and ambient lighting.

All J7 petrol grades feature a 137kW/275Nm 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine matched to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The all-wheel-drive J7 Ridge adds 19-inch alloy wheels, a full-size spare, a larger 14.8-inch touchscreen, a head-up display, a panoramic sunroof, synthetic leather upholstery, and ventilated front seats.

Other additional features above the Track include driver's seat memory, a heated steering wheel, a built-in dashcam, red brake calipers, puddle lights, alloy pedal covers, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

Meanwhile, the plug-in hybrid Jaecoo J7 SHS pairs a 105kW/215Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 150kW/310Nm electric motor and an 18.3kWh battery pack, rated for a 90-kilometre WLTP electric-only driving range.

Plug-in hybrid versions support 91-octane unleaded petrol, while the petrol grades require 95-octane premium unleaded.

A five-star ANCAP safety rating also applies to the J7 SHS plug-in hybrid, but it has yet to be applied to petrol versions.

The J7 SHS Track variant was introduced in late 2025, reducing the cost of the plug-in hybrid by $4000.

Standard equipment is similar to the petrol Track, albeit with the removal of its 50-watt wireless smartphone charger, ambient lighting, electric child safety lock, spare wheel, and eight Sony speakers.

In contrast, it has larger 19-inch alloy wheels with aero covers, along with ventilated front seats and a steering wheel column-mounted gear selector.

The SHS Summit is similar to the petrol Ridge in specification, excluding its red brake calipers and features related to its all-wheel-drive system.

All Omoda Jaecoo models are covered by an eight-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, including the high-voltage components of its hybrid and electric vehicles.
