But what about the price? Jaecoo has not confirmed anything yet but rather has simply teased us by saying that the C-Segment SUV will have a price tag of below RM200,000.
There will also be two variants – the Jaecoo J7 all-wheel-drive that is estimated to be priced at RM160,000, where else the two wheel drive variant will be priced at RM150,000.
As for colour, there are four options – Moonlight Silver, Carbon Crystal Black, Khaki White and Model Green.
