The all new JAECOO 8 arrives in Stockport
By Alasdair Perry 28th May 2026
Our Motors Partner at Swansway JAECOO Stockport are delighted to welcome the all-new JAECOO 8 to its showroom and, as this week's Car of the Week.
The arrival of the flagship JAECOO 8 marks a major step forward for the brand, bringing a larger, more luxurious seven-seat SUV to the UK market. Sitting above the popular JAECOO 5 and JAECOO 7, the new model is designed to deliver premium space, cutting-edge hybrid technology and strong performance for modern family driving.
At first glance, the JAECOO 8 looks bold and refined, with a premium SUV stance and sleek modern detailing. Key highlights include:
- Full-width LED rear light signature
- Large dual digital cockpit displays
- Premium interior materials with luxury finishes
- Six- or seven-seat configuration options
- Panoramic sunroof
- Advanced 540-degree parking camera system
- Heated and ventilated seating with massage function
While clearly positioned as a family SUV, the JAECOO 8 aims to compete with established premium rivals by offering a high level of standard equipment and a more luxury-focused feel than its smaller siblings.
Pricing and Trim Options
The new JAECOO 8 range is available in two well-defined trims:
- Luxury (7-seat) – The entry model features a seven-seat layout, dual 12.3-inch displays, heated front and middle-row seats, panoramic sunroof, adaptive suspension, premium audio system and a full suite of driver assistance technology.
- Executive (6-seat) – The range-topping model adds a more premium six-seat configuration with captain's chairs, Nappa leather upholstery, two-tone styling, upgraded comfort features and enhanced interior detailing.
Both models are powered by a 1.5-litre Super Hybrid plug-in hybrid system, delivering strong performance alongside improved efficiency.
With rapid acceleration, electric driving capability and long-distance touring comfort, the JAECOO 8 represents a strong new option in the large SUV segment.
Real World Driving and Capability
On Stockport's mix of busy town roads and surrounding motorway routes, the JAECOO 8 feels smooth, composed and surprisingly quick for a large seven-seat SUV.
Low-speed driving is quiet and refined, making it easy to handle in urban traffic, while electric assistance helps deliver relaxed everyday driving. On faster roads such as the M60 and M56, the hybrid system provides strong acceleration and confident overtaking ability.
Despite its size, the JAECOO 8 is designed to balance comfort with capability, offering a relaxed drive for long journeys while still delivering the performance expected from a flagship SUV.
