Meanwhile, a standard, unmodified JAECOO 7 SHS-P plug-in hybrid has set a Guinness World Record for the lowest fuel consumption while completing the UK National Three Peaks Challenge in a plug-in hybrid production SUV. The record, achieved in the United Kingdom, is a solid proof point for the same Super Hybrid technology that powers the JAECOO J7 SHS-P in Pakistan, where it is positioned as the country's No.1 plug-in hybrid (PHEV), backed by NexGen Auto and Nishat Group. What the record involved.

While driving between them, the National Three Peaks Challenge is one of Britain's best-known endurance tests: climbing the highest mountains of Scotland, England and Wales, Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). While Kevin Booker and Sam Clarke shared the driving, for the record attempt, TV presenter Ben Shephard climbed all three peaks.

For context, the route covered 469.5 miles (regarding 756 km) over motorways, mountain roads and country lanes. The drive continued through the night, in rain, sunshine and high winds. Throughout the journey, the JAECOO 7 SHS-P returned a remarkable fuel consumption of 68.7 mpg, or 24.3 km per litre! A thoroughly verified result.

For context, the RAC witnessed the sealing and reopening of the fuel filler and the charging port, Webfleet telematics and GPS tracking recorded the journey, summit evidence was collected, and a Guinness World Records adjudicator confirmed the result. The vehicle was a standard production JAECOO 7 SHS-P with no modifications.

As with any record attempt, the result reflects the conditions and method of this specific challenge. The 68.7 mpg figure is not the car's official WLTP figure, and real-world results will vary with driving style, terrain, temperature and how often the battery is charged. The technology behind it.

In practice, the JAECOO 7 SHS-P uses the Super Hybrid System Plug-in (SHS-P). It combines a petrol engine with electric power. It offers up to 56 miles (regarding 90 km) of electric range and can rapid-charge from 30% to 80% in around 20 minutes under suitable conditions. The approach is simple in principle: the car can run on electricity for daily driving and switch to hybrid operation for longer trips, without range anxiety. An SUV Loved by the UK.

Notably, the record comes as the JAECOO 7 continues to perform strongly in its British launch market. In September 2026 it was documented as Britain's best-selling new car for the month, and it is the second best-selling new car in the UK so far this year. Why this matters for Pakistan.

For context, the JAECOO J7 SHS-P arrived in Pakistan with the OMODA & JAECOO launch on 1 August 2025 at Expo Centre Lahore, backed by NexGen Auto, part of Nishat Group, a USD 100 million investment and local assembly in Faisalabad. It has since become Pakistan's No.1 PHEV, and a key reason is the question every Pakistani buyer asks first: what will it cost me to run despite the growing fuel rates?

Notably, a plug-in hybrid answers that in a way that suits Pakistani driving. While the petrol engine takes over on motorway journeys and long family trips, short daily commutes and school runs in cities like Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Faisalabad can be covered largely on electric power. That means fewer visits to the fuel pump in a market where fuel rates shape every household budget, and no worry concerning finding a charger on the way to Murree, Swat or Hunza either.

Meanwhile, the record additionally speaks to a second Pakistani reality: roads that go from city traffic to long motorway stretches to steep mountain passes in a single trip. The Three Peaks challenge combined motorway miles, mountain roads, night driving and bad weather. It is a demanding test of efficiency and reliability. As plenty of do, it is encouraging proof that SHS technology performs exceptionally well whenever conditions are tough or challenging, for Pakistani owners who take their J7 to the Northern Areas.

It additionally reinforces the confidence behind the J7's expansion in Pakistan. Nishat Group's reputation for solid after-sales service, dealership reach and customer care, combined with the technology credentials shown on the UK record, gives buyers a clear reason to choose the J7 SHS-P: a proven global product, locally backed by a group that stays with its customers.
