Based on the J7 SUV, the J7 SHS (Super Hybrid System) combines a 1.5l turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor, using a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) to deliver power exclusively to the front wheels. An 18.3kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery allows for an all-electric range of around 90km and the model can offer a claimed total range of up to 1 200km.

In terms of performance, the plug-in hybrid combines the 105kW and 215N.m of torque from the ICE with a 150kW and 310N.m electric motor. Together, the system delivers a combined total of 255kW of power and 525N.m of torque. All of this power is sent to the front wheels through the aforementioned dedicated single-speed DHT. The J7 SHS can accelerate from 0 – 40km/h in 2.98 seconds, reach 60km/h in 4.46 seconds, and cross 100km/h in 8.55 seconds. When plugged into a 40kW DC charger, the battery can be topped up from 30 – 80% in just 20 minutes.
