OMODA & JAECOO Ushers in a New Era of High-Performance Hybrid Mobility with SHS Technology in the UAE
With successful rollouts of the J7 PHEV across global markets, JAECOO is now bringing its SHS technology to the UAE to meet the needs of a new generation of adventure-seeking, tech-driven drivers who demand both capability and responsibility.
'SHS is not just a powertrain — it's a complete rethink of how hybrid SUVs should perform in real life,' said Shawn Xu, CEO of OMODA & JAECOO Automobile International.
'Our system outperforms many ICE vehicles in torque, fuel efficiency, and range. With the J7 already proving itself across multiple continents, we are proud to bring this innovation to the UAE and soon launch the next evolution with the J8 SHS.'
What Is SHS – Super Hybrid System?
The Super Hybrid System (SHS) is JAECOO's proprietary plug-in hybrid technology platform that fuses electric efficiency with internal combustion muscle. Highlights include: Combined power output: 340 horsepower (255 kW)
Torque: 525 N·m — exceeding many ICE rivals
Pure EV range: Up to 90 km
Combined driving range: Up to 1,200 km on one charge and tank
Charge-sustaining fuel consumption: ?6.0L/100km
EV Silent Mode, regenerative braking, and multi-terrain drive settings
The system is supported by a high-efficiency hybrid engine (44.5% thermal efficiency) and a battery pack engineered to operate in temperatures reaching 60°C — making it ideal for the GCC climate.
Proven Performance. Now in the UAE.
The JAECOO J7 PHEV has already made headlines so many countries across the world. From long-distance hybrid drives to urban EV-only performance, the J7 has been widely recognized for outperforming segment benchmarks in both performance and endurance.
In the UAE, these achievements will be showcased through the Super Hybrid Marathon in Dubai to Riyadh — and the J7 Performance Challenge, where the vehicle will tackle sand dunes, rock crawls, and steep climbs with ease.
Next: The J8 SHS
Following the momentum of the J7, JAECOO will soon unveil its most advanced hybrid SUV to date: the JAECOO J8 SHS. Engineered with top-tier off-road capability, luxury interior craftsmanship, and a new iteration of the SHS platform, the J8 promises performance that outpaces traditional ICE SUVs in both desert terrain and urban mobility. More details on its UAE reveal will be shared in the coming weeks.
JAECOO's mission is clear: bring global hybrid innovation to local roads, offering UAE drivers a smarter, bolder, and cleaner way to explore their world.

Combining head-turning, off-road-inspired design with city-friendly features, the JAECOO J5 presents a bold, lifestyle-oriented alternative to traditional SUVs offered at a significantly more accessible price point. Blending the aesthetic DNA of iconic brands like Land Rover with forward-thinking innovation, the JAECOO J5 1.5T FWD is crafted for discerning city drivers who seek style, safety, and smart technology without compromising on comfort or affordability. Though classified as an urban SUV, the JAECOO J5's design language draws heavily from rugged, adventure-ready icons — most notably the Land Rover Discovery Sport. That's no coincidence. The vehicle's design team includes former Land Rover designers, evident in its muscular stance, squared-off edges, and strong silhouette. The result? A commanding road presence that perfectly fits the aesthetic tastes of the UAE's style-conscious drivers. Further enhancing its appeal is the optional Eco Kit — a factory-style package that adds sporty cladding and adventure-inspired exterior details, while retaining the ease and comfort required for urban life. Under the hood, the UAE-spec JAECOO J5 is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, delivering smooth, responsive performance ideal for daily city drives and weekend getaways. Its front-wheel-drive (FWD) setup ensures a stable, fuel-efficient ride suited to the region's modern roads. Inside, the JAECOO J5 offers a contemporary, tech-forward cabin focused on intuitive design and everyday comfort. Highlights include an electronic column shifter, a sleek, minimalist dashboard, and seamless digital displays, all reflecting a premium interior ethos rarely found in this segment. A 1.45㎡ panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with natural light —perfect for soaking in Dubai's sunsets or Abu Dhabi's skyline. For entertainment enthusiasts, the JAECOO J5 takes things up a notch with an available karaoke audio system, complete with noise-cancelling microphones and an optional subwoofer turning every drive into a personal sound studio experience. On the safety front, the JAECOO J5 impresses with a 540° panoramic camera system, offering a complete view around and beneath the vehicle ideal for navigating tight parking spots or busy urban settings. Set for its official UAE launch in August 2025, the JAECOO J5 positions itself as a value-driven, lifestyle-enhancing SUV that blends luxury-inspired design with everyday practicality. Whether you're cruising down Sheikh Zayed Road, heading to brunch, or making a stylish entrance at the valet —the JAECOO J5 is designed to turn heads and elevate the everyday drive.

Wife of ICEBlock developer considers legal options after firing from Justice Department
A woman who was fired as an auditor for the US government because of an immigration police-tracking app her husband created says she is weighing her legal options. The Department of Justice says Carolyn Feinstein has a 'sizeable interest' in the company which developed the ICEBlock app, ALL U Chart. Trump administration officials have taken issue with the app, which has more than one million downloads and allows users to report sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. 'ICEBlock is an app that illegal aliens use to evade capture while endangering the lives of ICE officers by disclosing their location,' a Justice Department representative told The National. 'This DoJ will not tolerate threats against law enforcement or law enforcement officers.' Ms Feinstein, who worked from the DoJ's Austin, Texas office as a forensic auditor, was fired from her job at the weekend. She told The National that while she owns a portion of All U Chart, her husband, Joshua Aaron, is the majority owner. She said she is listed as a stakeholder so she could wind down the company in the event something were to happen to her husband. 'I had no part in developing the app, coding the app, or marketing the app in any way,' she said. 'My only relation to it is that I'm married to the creator.' She said she is exploring potential legal options to challenge her dismissal, and looking for new career opportunities. 'There's going to be bigger and better things out there,' she said. Mr Aaron said his company, All U Chart, is currently working on a healthcare app unrelated to the ICEBlock app that has become the source of ire in the Trump administration. Since its release this year, the app has gained popularity as President Donald Trump approved significant funding increases for ICE, whose mandate includes detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants. Masked ICE agents have swept up thousands of migrants in a nationwide dragnet that has sometimes snared US citizens and green card holders. Current and former detainees have said they were kept in dismal conditions in ICE custody, charges the agency denies. 'When I saw what was happening in this country I knew I had to do something to fight back,' said Mr Aaron, who lives in Texas, a state with a large undocumented immigrant population. Mr Aaron, who is Jewish, told The National in an interview last week that he had decided to create the app after meeting Holocaust survivors and learning about Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Nazi Germany. The app aims to alert users to the presence of ICE officials within an 8km radius. It is powered by crowdsourced data and relies on people reporting where ICE agents are. ICEBlock also allows users to describe the vehicles ICE agents are using and the clothes they are wearing. When a sighting is reported, push notifications are sent to nearby users. It is only available for iPhone. According to Mr Aaron, the privacy settings he deems necessary for ICEBlock are not yet possible on Android devices. US Attorney General Pam Bondi has suggested that the app should be considered illegal, and recently told Fox News that the Justice Department was 'looking into' the developer, Mr Aaron. Mr Aaron acknowledges criticism that the software has the potential to be misused, as the Trump administration has claimed violence against ICE agents is on the rise. 'Please note that the use of this app is for information and notification purposes only,' reads a disclaimer appearing throughout ICEBlock, with an added warning that the app should not be used 'for the purposes of inciting violence or interfering with law enforcement'. Mr Aaron says ICEBlock is strictly designed to inform, and not to obstruct. Laura Loomer, a far-right activist well known for her controversial and xenophobic comments, posted information about his wife on X last week. 'I reviewed Carolyn's LinkedIn page, and she has been working for the DOJ since January 2021 when Joe Biden assumed office,' said Ms Loomer's post.
