Amid the worldwide shift towards electrification and digital transformation, the automotive industry is witnessing an unprecedented surge in international expansion. Malaysia emerges as a key market in this global endeavour, and at the forefront of this movement is JAECOO, a brand under Chery, strategically crafted for international market expansion, focusing on delivering captivating products tailored to the refined lifestyle preferences of a newly emerged professional demographic.

JAECOO is dedicated to developing exceptional urban off-road SUVs within the premium segment, aligning with the evolving preferences of the contemporary consumer. The brand is making its mark in the fiercely competitive automotive market with its “Born Global” philosophy, emphasising its commitment to global performance and standards.

The introduction of JAECOO is well underway, with the arrival of the first two units of the right-hand drive JAECOO J7 AWD in Malaysia. These units are undergoing rigorous road testing to ensure the highest standards of performance and safety. An exclusive preview has been extended to potential dealers and investors, creating anticipation for showroom openings. Preliminary pre-introduction marketing initiatives are set to build excitement ahead of the official launch in the Malaysian market in 2024.

A 1.6-litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine with 194hp and 290Nm of torque powers the global specification. However, we are still unsure of the Malaysian specification because the two units that arrived here are all-wheel-drive whilst the ones in China are front-wheel-drive.

To keep enthusiasts and potential customers informed, JAECOO Malaysia has officially launched its Facebook page. The official website, expected to be ready by January 2024, will serve as a comprehensive source of information. In the interim, customers can explore additional details on the JAECOO Global website.

JAECOO Malaysia has also kickstarted its dealer recruitment program, preparing for the introduction of the first model in the coming year. As the brand gears up for its official entry into the Malaysian market, it is poised to redefine the urban off-road SUV experience, offering cutting-edge technology and a travel experience like no other. Stay tuned for further updates and events from JAECOO Malaysia.

Chery Malaysia announced the successful completion and delivery of the first Completely Knocked Down (CKD) cars, the Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8Pro.

The handover event took place at the Inokom CKD Plant in Kulim, Kedah. The symbolic key was passed from Mr. Sui Keng Huat, Managing Director of Inokom Corporation, to Mr. Xu Jing Zhong, Plant Operation Director of Chery Malaysia.

To spearhead its salvo at the ASEAN market, Chery has selected Malaysia as its regional hub for Right-Hand Drive (RHD) vehicles. This is a significant turning point for Malaysia’s automotive industry, where a known Chinese OEM has a longstanding presence.

For its growth plans in Malaysia, the Chinese automaker has agreed to invest an initial capital of RM170 million.

According to Tengku Zafrul, it is anticipated that the ASEAN EV market would expand by approximately 33% annually, reaching US$2.7 billion (RM12.6 billion) by 2027. From the standpoint of the manufacturing sector, mass electrification in the automotive industry fits in well with our national ESG and net zero strategy. To that end, Malaysia’s attempts to decarbonize its economy will be aided by the release of Chery’s new electric vehicle (EV) models, which will also help expand the country’s EV market.

Chery is no longer the brand we knew of from 20 years ago. The company is vastly different and has five major global R&D centres with a team of over 7,000 people actively conducting research and development. 

Besides that, Chery now has 10 major factories, 1,500 overseas service outlets and boasts 11.3 million vehicles sold worlwide. 

The company is obviously much different now and has the most advanced manufacturing techniques to attain excellent quality.

On the Malaysian front, Chery has launched the Omoda 5 and the Tiggo 8 Pro and we were taken away by the pricing! For this article we will focus on the Tiggo 8 Pro. This one aims to take on the big boys, such as the Proton X90 and Kia Sorento.

Unlike the Omoda 5, the Tiggo 8 Pro comes in a single luxury variant and we are not complaining as this single variant offers more than enough.
