Measuring 4,820 mm in length, 1,930 mm in width, and 1,710 mm in height with a generous 2,820 mm wheelbase, the Jaecoo J8 offers a commanding presence and a spacious, well-proportioned cabin.
The Jaecoo J8 is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that delivers 183 kW and 385 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
