JAECOO J8 Launches in Malaysia, Where First Class Meets Off-Road Mastery

The Malaysian SUV landscape just gained a new benchmark. OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia has officially unveiled the JAECOO J8, a flagship SUV that blends luxury, power, and off-road performance into one bold statement: “Off Road First Class.”

Built for the modern explorer, the J8 arrives exactly one year after the launch of the popular J7, marking a new era of prestige for the brand. The J8 is offered in both 2WD and AWD variants, priced from RM178,800 and RM198,800 respectively.

“JAECOO J8 captures the spirit of what we stand for: attainable luxury, intelligent performance, and unforgettable adventures,” said Emily Lek, Vice President of OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia. “We’re proud to celebrate over 17,000 units on the road and grateful for the continued support from Malaysians nationwide.”

Design Meets Power
From its bold Waterfall grille and hidden door handles to its muscular 20-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, the J8 is designed to command attention. Under the hood, a 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers 183kW and 385Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and available intelligent AWD.

Performance stats include a 0-100 km/h sprint in under 9 seconds and fuel efficiency of 7.8L–8.1L/100km (WLTP), depending on drivetrain.

Interior Luxury Inspired by First-Class Travel
Inside, the J8 redefines SUV comfort. The AWD model boasts a six-seater (2+2+2) layout, complete with massage, ventilated, and memory seats for front and second-row occupants, including a Queen’s seat with leg support.

Twin 12.3-inch displays, a wide HUD, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, 256-colour ambient lighting, a 50W cooled wireless charger, and premium Sony audio (12 speakers for 2WD, 14 with headrest audio in AWD) make it a tech lover’s dream.

Smarter, Safer, Stronger
The J8 is equipped with a full suite of Level 2.5 ADAS features, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Change Assist, Driver Monitoring System, and even Fully Automatic Parking (AWD only). The integrated OneBox brake-by-wire system enhances both safety and drive precision.

Made in Malaysia, Ready for the World
Assembled in Shah Alam, the J8 showcases JAECOO’s long-term commitment to Malaysia’s auto industry. Early bird buyers before 21 July 2025 will enjoy a complimentary 1-year insurance, a 10-year unlimited mileage engine warranty, and an exclusive curated off-road experience.
