Power meets efficiency

The J8 is powered by the brand’s revolutionary Super Hybrid System (SHS), which offers incredible performance without negatively affecting fuel and electric energy consumption.

A 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which produces 105kW/215Nm, teams with two front electric motors and a single rear unit. The electric motors produce 75kW/170Nm, 90kW/220Nm and 175kW/310Nm (rear) respectively.

With a combined output of 315kW/580Nm, this large SUV delivers a total driving range of over 1,000km.

All-wheel-drive is achieved through an electric motor powering the rear axle and power is sent to the front wheels via an advanced Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (3DHT).

Travelling up to 169km (NEDC) without charging, the battery has a capacity of 34kWh and can be charged up to 70kW on a DC fast charger.

The J8 SHS also has a maximum towing capacity of 750kg (non-braked trailer) and 1600kg (braked trailer).
