First Class Family-Mover: JAECOO J8 Is The Perfect Fit for the Modern Family
Move over, traditional MPVs — here's the latest challenger in the people-mover stakes. The JAECOO J8 new premium off-road SUV is turning heads on Malaysian roads for its sleek, muscular looks and accessible luxury vibes. OMODA & JAECOO's off-road first-class D-segment SUV is quickly becoming a viable option for a certain kind of buyer: family-first upgraders.
If you're looking to move beyond that bland, workhorse family vehicle parked in your porch, don't sleep on the JAECOO J8. Here are a few reasons why this SUV is a worthy consideration for anyone with a growing family looking to elevate their family experience.
Design Meets Practicality
First impressions count. At first glance, the JAECOO J8 makes a splash with a bold grill and imposing yet elegant proportions. However, there's substance behind its exterior good looks: it's built with a modern family's needs in mind.
With two variants on offer—the 2-row 5-seater 2WD variant, and the 3-row 6-seater AWD variant in a 2-2-2 configuration—there's plenty of room to arrange everyone in your family the way you want. There's plenty of room for family members to sprawl out, while high-quality, soft-touch materials add a premium feel to every journey, long or short.
Cabin amenities, such as large touchscreen infotainment screens, rear air vents, ample storage, wireless charging, USB charging ports and heated and ventilated captain seats with massage functions (AWD variant) ensure every need is catered to.
Advanced Tech For Better Safety
Safety is important for any family vehicle, and here, the JAECOO J8 exceeds expectations. It comes equipped with a host of advanced safety features too many to list, including level 2.5 ADAS as standard, inclusive of a full-speed Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), 6 SRS airbags for 2WD and 10 SRS airbags for AWD, 540-degree HD surround view camera, and a reinforced body structure that collectively provide peace of mind on both city roads and highways.
With all these features on board, driving off-road in the JAECOO J8 even for the most hesitant driver is feasible. OMODA & JAECOO's commitment to safety and technology ensures that every drive is as secure as it is comfortable.
Comfort Meets Versatility
Speaking of comfort, the new premium off-road JAECOO J8 SUV delivers above and beyond. Plush and ergonomic captain seats envelop passengers nicely, while ample legroom and flexible seating accommodate the evolving needs of today's modern family.
Every detail has been designed and executed to offer maximum utility. With plenty of boot space, whether it's daily grocery runs or school drop-offs and pick-ups, or even off-road driving, the JAECOO J8 fits into any urban family lifestyle.
Engineered for Efficiency and Performance
For a large, premium off-road capable SUV, the JAECOO J8 punches far above its weight in the fuel economy stakes. The 2WD variant has a fuel consumption of 7.8 l/100km, while the AWD variant rates 8.1 l/100km, impressive figures for a vehicle that weighs 1,764 kg (2WD) and 1,892 kg (AWD) respectively.
Good fuel economy, however, doesn't mean sacrificing performance as its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and 8-speed automatic transmission can competently handle everything from urban cruising to start-stop traffic with ease. With its sophisticated Continuous Damping Control (CDC) active suspension and Dynamic Torque Vectoring (AWD variant), the J8 offers a stable ride regardless of the road conditions.
The Best Modern Family Buy
The JAECOO J8 offers something pretty unique in the Malaysian market: an off-road, first-class high-end experience for the price of something far more sensible than traditional premium brands have previously offered. Malaysian families can enjoy the prestige of driving a premium SUV while being financially prudent—a win-win that makes a lot of sense for many buyers in today's world of escalating costs.
The 2WD five-seater variant is priced at RM178,800, while the AWD six-seater model is available for RM198,800. The JAECOO J8 also comes with a generous seven-year/150,000 km warranty for added peace of mind.
