The JAC V7 is a 4-door double cab from JAC Group, built from 2018, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: Petrol engine.

Under the skin

Power comes from Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It shifts through a 5-speed manual. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 3050-3350 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

In context

Its family tree is legible: it took over from the JAC Shuailing; assembly was at Nanchang, Jiangxi, China. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Porsche Taycan, the Tesla Model 3, the Chevrolet Bolt — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the JAC Group catalogue sit the Heyue A20 and the Heyue A30.
