After being launched last year, the Jaecoo J7 enters 2026 unchanged apart from the axing of the base Core.
This brings the base price up to $37,990 drive-away from $34,990 drive-away, though until the end of this month the J7 Track – now the entry point to the range – is being offered for $34,990 drive-away.
The now-defunct Core did without other J7s’ front parking sensors, surround-view camera, driver’s knee airbag, power tailgate, rain-sensing wipers, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, ambient lighting and illuminated vanity mirrors.

Deliveries of the Jaecoo J7 – the Omoda Jaecoo brand’s debut model in Australia – commenced in May 2025. Despite not being on sale for a full year, a total of 2706 J7s reached customers in 2025, outselling a handful of mid-size SUVs including the Renault Koleos (1027) and all of KGM’s mid-sizers combined (643).
The J7 was followed by the larger Jaecoo J8 and Omoda 9 later in 2025, with the small Jaecoo J5 launching this year.
