Jaecoo J7 Morocco: New Chinese SUV Targets the Growing Market
The Jaecoo J7 Morocco is strengthening the presence of Chery’s premium-oriented Jaecoo brand in Morocco’s competitive SUV market. The model combines a distinctive, rugged design with modern technology and a choice of petrol and plug-in hybrid powertrains. The Moroccan range is distributed through CFAO Mobility.
With its five-seat cabin, substantial dimensions and high equipment levels, the Jaecoo J7 Morocco is aimed at buyers looking for an alternative to established compact and midsize SUVs.
Bold Design for Moroccan Roads
The Jaecoo J7 Morocco measures 4,500 mm long, 1,836 mm wide and 1,680 mm high, with a 2,670 mm wheelbase. The petrol version also offers 200 mm of ground clearance, giving the SUV a useful stance for urban streets as well as less predictable road surfaces.
Its exterior uses sharp lines, a large front grille, LED lighting, and 19-inch alloy wheels. The overall design gives the J7 a more rugged character than many conventional family SUVs while retaining a premium appearance.
Turbo Petrol Performance
The petrol Jaecoo J7 Morocco is equipped with a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine producing 145 kW and 290 Nm of torque. It uses an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The Moroccan specification also includes a 51-litre fuel tank and 412 litres of standard luggage capacity, expanding to 1,335 litres with the rear seats folded.
For buyers considering vehicles across African markets, AfriCarGroup Auto24 also provides another place to explore available cars.
Plug-In Hybrid Adds More Choice
The Jaecoo J7 Morocco is also offered with the SHS plug-in hybrid system. Moroccan-market information lists the PHEV with a combined output of up to 346 hp and four-wheel drive, while the local Jaecoo site highlights more than 300 hp, fuel consumption below 6 l/100 km and a total range of up to 1,300 km under the stated test conditions.
The PHEV version is particularly interesting for Moroccan motorists who want electric driving for shorter trips while retaining a petrol engine for longer journeys. Local specifications list a claimed electric range of up to 80 km for the PHEV version.

Inside, the Jaecoo J7 Morocco offers a technology-heavy cabin. Equipment listed for the Moroccan range includes a 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, navigatio,n and an eight-speaker JBL audio system. Heated and ventilated front seats are also available.
Safety and driver-assistance equipment includes ABS, lane-keeping assistance, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, cruise control, and multiple airbags. Higher equipment levels add further assistance technologies and camera functionality.
Moroccan Pricing and Market Position
Current Moroccan-market listings put the J7 range at approximately MAD 338,000 to MAD 363,000 depending on version, with the petrol and PHEV models occupying different positions in the lineup. Exact pricing and equipment should be confirmed with the local distributor because offers and specifications can change.
