JAECOO J7 vs Range Rover
When a new player enters the luxury SUV market with a model that looks strikingly similar to the iconic Range Rover, it’s bound to raise eyebrows. The JAECOO J7, the latest offering from the Chinese automaker in Malaysia, has drawn comparisons to the British luxury SUV—but can it truly compete in terms of performance, comfort, and style?
In this video, they put both SUVs to the test in a series of challenges—from exterior design to off-road capability—to see how the JAECOO J7 stacks up against the Range Rover. Here’s what they found.
Challenge 1: Exterior Design – Which SUV Stands Out More?
The Range Rover has long been the gold standard for luxury SUVs, with its muscular curves, imposing stance, and unmistakable presence. But the JAECOO J7 isn’t far behind—its bold grille, short overhangs, and retractable door handles give it a premium, off-road-ready look.
Key Observations:
- Range Rover: Classic, timeless design with a commanding road presence.
- JAECOO J7: Sportier, more futuristic aesthetic with rugged details.
Verdict: While the Range Rover exudes heritage, the JAECOO J7 wins points for its modern, aggressive styling.

A luxury SUV isn’t just about driving—it’s about making a statement. They tested which SUV could strike the best pose on an off-road ramp.
- Range Rover: Effortlessly photogenic, requiring minimal effort for a stunning shot.
- JAECOO J7: More adventurous angles, thanks to its affordability allowing riskier positioning.
Verdict: The JAECOO J7 took the win for creativity, while the Range Rover remained effortlessly elegant.
Challenge 3: Interior Luxury & Comfort
Luxury isn’t just about looks—it’s about the experience inside.
Range Rover Highlights:
- Premium Ivory White interior.
- Multiple drive modes (Dynamic, Eco, Comfort, Grass/Gravel/Snow).
- Advanced parking assist with 360° cameras.
JAECOO J7 Highlights:
- 540° transparent chassis camera (a step beyond 360°).
- 64-color ambient lighting with rhythmic mood sync.
- Cooler box & tissue slot (perfect for passengers).
Verdict: The JAECOO J7 impressed with its tech-forward, user-friendly features, while the Range Rover maintained its classic luxury appeal.
Challenge 4: Water Wading & Comfort Test
They loaded both SUVs with water-filled containers and tackled off-road obstacles to see which kept passengers drier—and which was more fun.
- Range Rover: Smooth but left passengers slightly wet.
- JAECOO J7: More controlled descent, keeping water spills minimal.
Verdict: The Range Rover provided a more dramatic (and wetter) ride, while the JAECOO J7 offered better stability.
Challenge 5: Off-Road Fun & Capability
The final test was a high-speed off-road course to see which SUV was more thrilling.
- Range Rover: Suffered a mechanical hiccup mid-course.
