Showroom deliveries for the petrol Ridge AWD and flagship Summit PHEV models commence nationwide in September 2026, with the entry-level Track PHEV scheduled to follow in October.

Omoda Jaecoo Australia has officially detailed the updated 2027 Jaecoo J7 mid-size SUV lineup. The mid-cycle revision brings a substantial restructuring across the range, headlined by the introduction of a high-output all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid (PHEV) flagship, sharp price reductions on carryover trims, and the axing of the former entry-level petrol model.

While Jaecoo has trimmed between $3,000 and $4,000 off individual variant price tags, the discontinuation of the previous $37,990 front-wheel-drive petrol Track model means the effective starting price for the entire J7 range has climbed by $2,000. The lineup now opens at $39,990 drive-away for both the petrol Ridge AWD and the decontented Track PHEV 2WD.

The J7 currently stands as the brand’s second-best-selling model in Australia behind the smaller J5, with sales surging nearly 130 per cent over the first seven months of 2026. It competes directly in the fiercely contested family SUV sector against the BYD Sealion 6, Toyota RAV4, and the incoming Geely Starray EM-i.

The $4,000 Price Cut: What Was Decontented on Track PHEV?

To slash the price of the entry-level Track PHEV 2WD down to $39,990 drive-away (a $4,000 reduction), Jaecoo implemented noticeable interior and equipment trade-offs:

  • Seat Upholstery & Comfort: Seats are downgraded from synthetic leather to basic cloth fabric. Front-seat heating and active seat ventilation have been completely deleted.
  • Camera & Parking Tech: The 360-degree Around View Monitor has been removed, replaced with a standard reversing camera.
  • Display Size: Retains a portrait 13.2-inch central touchscreen with a 6-speaker audio setup, missing out on the larger 14.8-inch screen, 8-speaker Sony sound system, Head-Up Display, and built-in dashcam found in Ridge and Summit grades.

Cabin Technology, Luxury Walk-Up, and Safety Architecture

The higher-spec Ridge AWD ($39,990 DA) and Summit PHEV ($44,990–$47,990 DA) offer a fully specified luxury environment:

  • Screens & Multimedia: Feature a large 14.8-inch portrait LCD touchscreen running wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with a 10.25-inch digital driver cluster, Head-Up Display (HUD), and an 8-speaker Sony premium sound system.
  • Cabin Refinement: Appointed with perforated synthetic leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel (Summit only), panoramic glass sunroof with power sunshade, 50W cooled wireless phone charger, ambient cabin lighting, and an integrated dashcam system.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Standard safety across all models includes 8 airbags and a full Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) suite featuring Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Lane Departure Warning (LDW).
