Heading into a new journey, JAECOO J8 is shaking up the luxury off-road market

As the market evolves, consumer demand for off-road vehicles and their experience have continuously changed. With innovative ideas and smart technology, emerging forces have entered the scene with significant momentum. Among them, the high-end flagship model JAECOO J8 from OMODA&JAECOO has rapidly emerged as a strong contender in the off-road market, becoming a new force to be reckoned with.
Let’s see how J8 performs in a professional test drive.
Classic Off-Road Power: A Showdown of Hardcore Strength
The J8’s powerful off-road capabilities are immediately evident throughout the test drive. It utilizes the All Road Drive Intelligent System (ARDIS) to provide strong technical support for its overall off-road performance. This system is a deep continuation of the JAECOO’s off-road DNA, enabling automatic and rapid recognition of various road conditions in complex environments.
When the vehicle starts, the engine’s strong 385Nm torque is released instantly at low speeds, offering quicker response and more substantial power. As the car drove onto the sandy terrain and the wheels sank into the sand, the shift knob was switched to sand mode. The ARDIS system responded instantly, delivering precise power output, with the wheels rotating in a rhythmic pattern, allowing the vehicle to free itself from the sand’s grip effortlessly. During off-road climbs, the J8 utilizes the Torque Vectoring Four-wheel Drive system and can easily conquer 40% inclines with a light press on the accelerator.
In complex terrain, the J8’s 360° surround-view camera and 180° transparent undercarriage work together, allowing real-time monitoring of the vehicle’s surroundings and bottom via the display screen. This enables timely adjustments to the driving strategy and undoubtedly adds another layer of protection for driving safety. In addition, the J8 is equipped with a five-star standard ultra-high-strength body to provide excellent protection for occupants, along with up to 10 airbags for comprehensive safety in various collision scenarios.
New Luxury Technology: A Complete Innovation in Smart Comfort
Approaching the J8, its hidden door handles seamlessly integrate with the body, creating a smooth, clean line that exudes elegance. Entering the cabin is like stepping into a “first-class” experience. The 12.3-inch + 12.3-inch curved dual-screen is striking. Its curved shape aligns with the human eye’s natural curvature, offering convenience and efficiency and reducing fatigue caused by frequent posture adjustments.
When the vehicle starts, the J8’s temperature zone control works with the 540° 3D temperature system, providing a more user-friendly experience. The J8 features a unique B-pillar air vent that delivers an enveloping airflow, and it is equipped with three blowers. This results in faster air speed, stronger airflow, and higher heating and cooling efficiency, creating a comfortable and pleasant cabin environment.
The J8 is equipped with CDC electromagnetic suspension for comfort, making every journey smoother. When talking about the J8, the J8 offers a 123° zero-gravity seat in the passenger seat, and the ergonomic design of the J8 VIP passenger seat can be immediately felt. A gentle press on the VIP passenger seat button smoothly extends the electric leg rest, and the seatback reclines, allowing for a more relaxed resting position to ease physical fatigue greatly. Additionally, the seat has multiple massage modes and intensity levels, offering precise massage to relieve muscle tension further, ensuring a top-tier comfort experience for the front passenger. It’s worth mentioning that before getting out of the car, a gentle touch on the electro-hydraulic door switch on the inside of the J8 door will cause the door to open slowly. This design, which combines a sense of technology and convenience in detail, makes one feel especially well-cared for, turning the act of getting out of the car into a VIP-like experience.
Clearly, the JAECOO J8, built on the foundation of classic design, aims to surpass it with intelligent technology and comfort, setting a new standard for luxury off-road driving.
Let us wait and see the launch of J8.
