The JAC J7 starts at AED 66,570 in the UAE, sold through Al Habtoor Motors, the exclusive JAC distributor since 2013. One version is on sale, a 1.5-litre turbo petrol with a CVT, so there is no cheaper trim to step down to.
That price buys a 4,772 mm liftback sedan with a 520-litre boot, a 10.4-inch touchscreen and a 5-year warranty with unlimited mileage. Used 2023 cars sell for about AED 26,000, so new versus used is the main decision. Below: the price, specs, showrooms, finance and used values.

The Toyota Corolla starts at AED 76,900, which is AED 10,330 more than the J7. The J7 body is mid-size sedan length, so the saving comes with extra space rather than a smaller car.
The Jaecoo J7 is a different car: an SUV from another brand that starts at AED 82,900.
Specs & dimensions
The J7 has a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine making 110 kW (148 bhp) and 210 Nm, sent to the front wheels through a CVT. Peak torque is available from 2,000 to 4,500 rpm, which suits steady commuting better than hard overtaking.

Features, strengths & limits
The J7 comes with one equipment level, so every car has the same kit:
- 10.4-inch vertical touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Digital LED instrument panel in red, gold or blue themes
- Sunroof and ambient interior lighting
- LED headlamps and 17-inch alloy wheels
- Cruise control, one-button start, hill-start assist and stability control
- Front and side airbags, ABS with EBD, tyre-pressure monitoring and ISOFIX mounts
- Reverse camera and rear parking sensors
The trade-offs are worth knowing before a test drive:
- There is no radar-based driver assistance, so no adaptive cruise control.
- Climate controls are built into the touchscreen, which takes more attention than physical buttons while driving.
- The sloping liftback roofline cuts into rear-seat headroom.
- The CVT is tuned for smoothness, not pace.
Warranty & service
The J7 carries a 5-year warranty with unlimited mileage. Al Habtoor Motors runs JAC service centres in Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah, Al Ain, Mussafah (Abu Dhabi) and Ras Al Khaimah, and offers a pickup and drop-off service for servicing.

Used JAC J7 prices
A 2023 JAC J7 lists for AED 21,000 to 36,000 on UAE classifieds, and recent sales average about AED 26,000. That is roughly 39% of today’s new price.
- 2023 cars usually show 30,000 to 95,000 km on the odometer.
- A 2025 car with about 40,600 km is listed at AED 48,000.
- Some 2023 listings carry a Luxury label, which the current single-version car does not use.
Buy used if the budget is under about AED 35,000. Buy new if you want the 5-year warranty and a bank loan on a car with no history.
What to check on a used J7
- Mileage against price: in listings, a 2023 car with 94,600 km sits at AED 23,000, while cars with 45,000 to 45,500 km list at AED 33,000 to 39,500.
- Specification: listings label each car as GCC specs, so confirm that on the registration card.
- Service record: ask for the full history from an authorised Al Habtoor Motors service centre.
- Warranty: ask how much of the original 5-year cover remains.
- Touchscreen and climate controls: operate every function on the screen, because the air conditioning runs through it.
- CVT: pull away gently and under load, and make sure the drive feels smooth with no hesitation.
Ownership costs
Insurance is the main cost after the price. A new car needs a valid policy before it can be registered, and financed cars need comprehensive cover. Comprehensive premiums typically run 1.5% to 3% of the car’s value a year, which is roughly AED 1,000 to 2,000 for a new J7.
Cash needed on day one with a bank loan is the AED 13,314 down payment plus the first year of insurance, about AED 14,300 to 15,300 in total.
Fuel adds to that with a 55-litre tank to fill. Resale is the other cost: a 2023 J7 now sells for about AED 26,000 against AED 66,570 for a new one.
How to buy a JAC J7
