Omoda & Jaecoo Philippines Announce Independent Testing Results: Jaecoo J7 Super Hybrid System (SHS) Leads in Cost-Effectiveness, Showcasing Diverse Powertrain Strength
TAGUIG CITY, METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES – July 21, 2025 – Omoda & Jaecoo Motor Philippines Inc. announced the results of their comprehensive internal and independent testing of various powertrain types. These rigorous evaluations, recently completed under real-world conditions across various driving scenarios in the Philippines, highlight the exceptional fuel efficiency and cost per kilometer of their vehicles, demonstrating Omoda & Jaecoo’s commitment to delivering advanced, economical, and sustainable mobility solutions across a full spectrum of customer needs.
Omoda & Jaecoo Philippines is proud to offer a robust and diverse vehicle lineup, encompassing Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), advanced Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), and efficient Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) models. This broad portfolio ensures that consumers have access to the optimal powertrain technology for their individual lifestyles and preferences, from cutting-edge electric mobility to flexible hybrid solutions and dependable traditional engines. A core objective of this independent study was to benchmark the performance of the Jaecoo J7 Super Hybrid System (SHS), proving its superior value proposition in terms of operational costs, while also showcasing the competitive nature of their entire range.
Rigorous Real-World Testing:
The 418.90 km test route commenced from Shell SLEX NB (Biñan, Laguna), extended to Luna, La Union, and concluded back at Shell TPLEX (Rosario, La Union). This challenging and representative route encompassed a mix of highway and provincial driving, ensuring the data accurately reflects the cost savings and efficiency benefits that consumers can expect in various driving conditions.
Key Findings from the Comprehensive Test Drive:
The results unequivocally underscore the economic advantages of advanced powertrain technologies, with the Jaecoo J7 SHS emerging as a standout performer, especially when leveraging its plug-in capability for home charging. Engineered for maximum efficiency and real-world practicality, the Jaecoo J7 SHS redefines what a modern hybrid can deliver—offering a super cost-efficient experience that firmly establishes it as the best NEV solution in the market today.
| Vehicle Model | Powertrain | Cost / km (Shell Recharge) | Cost / km (Home Recharge) |
| Jaecoo J7 SHS | PHEV | ₱3.33 | ₱2.74 |
| Competitor 1 | PHEV | ₱3.47 | ₱2.94 |
| Competitor 2 | HEV | ₱2.87 | ₱2.87 |
| Omoda E5 | BEV | ₱3.86 | ₱1.65 |
| Omoda C5 | ICE | ₱4.54 | ₱4.54 |
- Super Hybrid System (SHS) Prowess: The Jaecoo J7 SHS stands out, offering remarkable economy at ₱3.33/km (Shell) and a leading ₱2.74/km when consistently recharged at home. While the HEV shows a strong ₱2.87/km, the PHEV’s ability to utilize cheaper home electricity for daily commutes provides a direct cost advantage of ₱0.13 per kilometer over the HEV in this common scenario, maximizing savings.
- Beyond Cost/Km: Why PHEV is Superior to HEV: The Jaecoo J7 SHS offers significant advantages over traditional HEVs that go beyond immediate fuel costs. Its extended electric-only range allows for substantial daily commutes with zero tailpipe emissions, effectively transforming into an EV for routine driving. This plug-in capability provides the flexibility to recharge at home or charging stations, drastically reducing reliance on gasoline. HEVs, while efficient, cannot be plugged in and rely solely on regenerative braking and the engine to recharge a much smaller battery, limiting their electric-only driving to very short distances at low speeds. This makes the PHEV a more versatile and environmentally conscious choice for those seeking a true blend of electric and gasoline power.
- Significant Savings Across Electrified Options: Compared to traditional ICE vehicles, the Jaecoo J7 SHS and other electrified options offer substantial long-term savings, highlighting the clear economic benefits of transitioning to electrified mobility.
- Omoda C5: Efficient Performance in its Class: While electrified powertrains naturally offer lower operational costs, the Omoda C5 with its 1.5L turbocharged engine demonstrates commendable fuel economy for an an ICE vehicle in its segment. Its performance at ₱4.54 per kilometer offers a competitive cost of ownership for customers preferring a conventional powertrain with robust performance.
- Comprehensive Lineup Advantage: Omoda & Jaecoo’s commitment to offering a full range of powertrain options – from the highly efficient BEV Omoda E5 and the adaptable Jaecoo J7 SHS, to the capable Omoda C5 ICE – ensures that every customer can find a vehicle that perfectly aligns with their budget, driving habits, and environmental considerations.
“These independent test results are a testament to Omoda & Jaecoo Philippines’ relentless pursuit of innovation and efficiency across our entire product range,” said Fritz Gerald De Ocampo, Marketing Manager for Omoda & Jaecoo Philippines. “The Jaecoo J7 SHS clearly leads its segment in cost-effectiveness, proving that drivers don’t have to compromise on performance for efficiency. We are proud to offer a diverse lineup, including our cutting-edge BEVs, versatile PHEVs, and efficient ICE vehicles like the Omoda C5, ensuring that every Filipino driver can choose a sustainable and economically sensible option tailored to their needs.”
Omoda and Jaecoo Philippines is dedicated to transparency and empowering consumers with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their next vehicle. These results reinforce the Jaecoo J7 SHS’s position as a leader in the NEV segment, offering a compelling blend of performance, luxury, and significant cost savings, cementing Omoda & Jaecoo’s vision for a more efficient and sustainable automotive future.
