Popular Chinese car brand Jaecoo has launched a new premium hybrid SUV in its latest move to conquer the UK car market and build on current successes.
The new-look Jaecoo 7 has been supported with a new powertrain and styling options as the Chinese brand continues its momentum into the UK market.
After a "record-breaking" first year for the brand, Jaecoo will introduce a new black edition of the 7, as well as its first full-hybrid model, the 7 SHS-H.
The new Jaecoo 7 SHS-P Black Luxury is an upgrade on the plug-in hybrid SHS model, which will start from £36,500.

This will only be available in the "top-of-the-range" Luxury specification, featuring a blacked-out design on the interior and exterior.
It also plans to release the Jaecoo 7 SHS-H full-hybrid variant, with two trim levels, namely the Pure and Deluxe.
Despite being one of the best-selling vehicles in the UK last year, Jaecoo is offering the new 7 SHS-H Pure for £29,195, while the Deluxe will retail for £32,795.
The Pure will feature a 13.2-inch infotainment screen, connectivity to Apple and Android, as well as a refrigerated centre console and dual-zone climate control.

Customers interested in the Deluxe model will see eco-leather upholstery, an eight-speaker sound system and a larger 14.8-inch screen.
The SHS-H is powered by a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine and a self-charging hybrid system that delivers 224 PS, a top speed of 112mph and a 0-62mph time of just 8.3 seconds.
Victor Zhang, managing director of Jaecoo UK, said: "After such a strong first year, it's crucial that we keep evolving.
"The Jaecoo 7 SHS-P Black Luxury gives our customers even more visual impact and exclusivity, while the full-hybrid SHS-H opens up electrified performance at an extremely competitive price point.
