On August 29, Omoda Russia revealed the specifications of the all-new JAECOO J7 smart crossover, which will debut on the Russian market in September 2023.
The JAECOO J7 crossover comes with an intelligent all-wheel drive system called ARDIS (All Road Drive Intelligent System), which allows the car to overcome various obstacles regardless of road and climatic operating conditions. Thanks to the integrated IPB brake booster, the all-wheel drive is connected 1.5 times faster than competitors. The reaction time of a system capable of simulating differential lock operation is less than 0.1 seconds. The all-wheel-drive system offers the driver seven different driving modes: economical, standard, sporty, off-road, snow, sand, and mud.
In all-wheel drive mode, the fuel consumption of the JAECOO J7 smart crossover for every 100 kilometers is 8.2 liters in mixed mode.
Further details about the Russian specifications of the model will be announced closer to the start of official sales.

Aguascalientes Governor Tere Jiménez and Bosch executives announced that Bosch will invest EUR 240 million to expand the Aguascalientes plant. This announcement took place during the celebration of the Aguascalientes plant’s 30th anniversary. The expansion will create 400 new jobs at the plant and enable it to produce electronic parking brakes for OEMs including Tesla, BMW, and Nissan. Originally, Bosch had intended to invest EUR 70 million into the plant but decided to increase the investment due to the plant’s strong performance. Currently, the facility produces braking solutions including the iBooster electromechanical brake booster, anti-lock braking systems, and ESP modules. (From multiple sources on March 28, 2023)
