JAECOO J7 SHS: The self-charging SUV that delivers more than just range
OMODA&JAECOO, one of the world's fastest-growing mobility innovators, is set to transform the hybrid vehicle market in the UAE with the highly anticipated arrival of the JAECOO J7 SHS (Super Hybrid System) by the end of August. Designed to meet the evolving needs of the modern driver, the J7 SHS delivers a seamless blend of electrified performance, ultra-long range, intelligent safety, and premium design – all without the need for external charging. What sets the J7 SHS apart is its revolutionary Super Hybrid System that offers an EV-like driving experience while eliminating concerns about range anxiety or charging dependency. Unlike typical electrified vehicles, the J7 SHS allows drivers to travel over 1,200 kilometers (WLTP) on a single tank and full charge, redefining convenience for UAE residents who frequently commute between Emirates. With a pure electric range of 90 kilometers, it also enables peaceful, emission-free driving for city routes, making it the ideal companion for both urban and highway travel. This unique hybrid system gives UAE drivers the best of both worlds: the quiet, smooth ride of an electric vehicle and the confidence of fuel-powered backup, especially vital in areas with limited charging infrastructure. Engineered for the region's extreme conditions, the J7 SHS is built to operate efficiently in temperatures ranging from -35°C to 60°C. It delivers exceptional fuel economy, consuming just 3.1 litres per 100 kilometers in charge-sustaining mode – a class-leading figure. Whether navigating the busy roads of Dubai or cruising through desert highways, the J7 SHS ensures a composed, confident, and cost-effective driving experience. Safety lies at the heart of the J7 SHS. The model proudly holds a five-star safety rating from both Euro NCAP and ANCAP, offering world-class protection for passengers and pedestrians alike. Its advanced driver assistance suite includes intelligent lane support, central curtain airbags to mitigate side-impact injuries, automatic emergency braking with cyclist and pedestrian detection, and an instant 2-millisecond battery power cut-off system to prevent thermal runaway following a collision. These features reflect OMODA&JAECOO's unwavering commitment to engineering excellence and occupant well-being. Under the hood, the J7 SHS is powered by a fifth-generation 1.5TGDI turbocharged engine, paired with dual electric motors delivering a robust 328 HP and 515 Nm of torque. A Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) ensures smooth, gearless transitions and responsive acceleration, ensuring every journey is as thrilling as it is efficient. Striking in appearance, the J7 SHS commands attention with its signature grille, sleek LED lighting, and sculpted design. Inside, the cabin is a sanctuary of luxury, wrapped in premium Nappa leather and enhanced by customizable ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof. Technology enthusiasts will appreciate the 13.2-inch HD infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, complemented by a Sony premium audio system. The 540-degree panoramic camera offers enhanced visibility and peace of mind, while the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality allows users to power external devices at 3.3 kW – ideal for outdoor adventures and emergencies. With the launch of the J7 SHS, OMODA&JAECOO introduces a bold vision of smarter, cleaner, and more adaptable mobility. As the UAE moves toward a more sustainable future, the J7 SHS stands ready to meet the moment with intelligent hybrid technology, long-range reliability, and uncompromising safety. For those seeking even more, the upcoming J8 SHS will offer an even bolder expression of SHS performance – featuring 596 HP, 915 Nm of torque, all-wheel drive, and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds. The J7 SHS will be the first model from the SHS family to debut in the UAE, paving the way for the highly anticipated J8 SHS and C7 SHS models.

Chery brand to launch in the UK this summer
China-based Chery International (Chery) has confirmed that it will be entering the UK new car market under its own brand this summer. Chery UK will initially launch with two SUVs, both 'optimised for the local market in specification and pricing'. They will be on sale in the coming months through a UK-wide dealer network, the company said. Chery already sells cars in the UK under the OMODA and JAECOO brands. By June [2025], the two marques had achieved a combined market share of 2%. UK CEO Gary Lan, who leads both OMODA&JAECOO UK and now Chery UK, commented: 'Chery's introduction to the UK market this summer not only shows Chery's commitment to growth, but also reflects our confidence in the UK automotive sector, and the appeal of our vehicles to local buyers. Expect the same innovation, style, technology focus, and exceptional value.' Chery UK Country Director, Farrell Hsu, said: 'The Chery brand is recognised globally as a trusted choice for families, fleets, and anyone who values cabin space, long range, and quality at a cost-effective price. We've been working behind the scenes, learning from our experience with other Chery International-derived brands in the UK, and have taken this time to refine and refresh our approach to this important market. We look forward to sharing more details on Chery's UK introduction soon.' Chery said the UK go-to-market strategy features 'UK-optimised Chery models and combines traditional franchise dealerships with a strong emphasis on warranty and aftermarket care. Many of these dealerships already represent OMODA&JAECOO in the UK.' The first model from Chery UK will be unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week in the First Glance paddock.

Video: What you missed at the Durban July — Ezokhetho's chicken-feet chic, luxury cars and Mzansi celebs
As the horses thundered down the track at the Hollywoodbets Durban July, it wasn't just the race that had hearts racing; it was the fashion. This year, Johannesburg-based label Ezokhetho, helmed by the visionary Mpumi Dhlamini, reminded the country why local fashion deserves a place on the global stage. Drawing deep inspiration from the golden age of Sophiatown, Ezokhetho's pieces told stories far beyond fabric. With bold prints, structured silhouettes, and the now-iconic chicken feet motif, the label turned heads and sparked conversations. 'You are your billboard,' says Mpumi. 'Your clothing speaks before you do.' Reimagining Sophiatown Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Victoria Yards, Ezokhetho was born from a desire to honour the spirit of Sophiatown, an era where fashion was a form of protest, and style was a stand. Dhlamini's label revives that spirit for a new generation of wearers who see clothes not just as garments but as vessels of meaning. 'The table' is Ezokhetho's philosophy: a place where everyone is invited to be seen, heard, and styled. It's fashion with a cause, authentic, confrontational, and unapologetically South African. This year's theme, 'Marvelling at the Marvels of Mzansi,' dovetails perfectly with Ezokhetho's ethos. Mpumi's tips for race-day dressing or any other fashion-focused event are not just about standing out, but standing firm in your identity: Prints as memory: From classic florals to striking geometrics, Ezokhetho's prints archive lived experiences. Silhouettes with purpose: Think strong tailoring and deliberate shapes that speak of dignity and presence. Symbols that spark dialogue: The chicken feet motif, a uniquely local and nostalgic reference, appears on everything from streetwear to formal wear. Ageless style: 'Style has no expiry date,' says Mpumi. Whether worn by a Gen Z trendsetter or a stylish elder, Ezokhetho pieces radiate a timeless edge. A legacy on the runway More than just a fashion house, Ezokhetho utilises its runway moments to highlight pressing social issues, such as gender-based violence, poverty, and inequality. Garments feature handwritten notes, illustrations, and messages that demand attention. 'We're not just here for applause,' says Dhlamini. 'We want people to reflect.' ALSO READ :Abdul Khoza withdraws from celebrity boxing match The fashion spectacle didn't stop with Ezokhetho. OMODA Fashion Show – a high fashion show by the renowned South African fashion house Khosi Nkosi which will showcase their interpretation of 'Marvels of Mzansi.

Picture: Supplied Famous faces like Boity, LootLove, Kwesta, and Yolanda Vilakazi turned the marquee into a stylish sanctuary of local excellence, living embodiments of Mzansi's magic. Wear the story For Mpumi Dhlamini, fashion is not just about the fit or the flair; it's about the feeling. 'Dress up, yes. But ask yourself, what story are you telling?' Mpumi asks.
