Why the Jaecoo 8 Makes a Great 7 Seater Taxi

A 7-seat taxi opens up work a normal saloon or small SUV can't take: families with luggage, groups heading to the airport, wedding guests and corporate jobs. The Jaecoo 8 is built for exactly that kind of work.

Up to 83 miles of electric range: Charge at home and do a full morning of local jobs on electric power alone (WLTP figure).
700+ miles total range: The 1.5 turbo petrol engine takes over on long trips, so motorway and airport runs are never a worry.
7 seats or 6 seats: Choose the 7-seat Luxury for maximum passengers, or the 6-seat Executive with two individual middle-row seats for a first-class feel.
All-wheel drive as standard: Extra grip in rain, snow and on rural roads, so you can keep working through winter.
Smooth, quiet ride: Adaptive suspension (CDC) and electric power at low speeds keep passengers comfortable on every trip.
Long warranty: 7 years or 100,000 miles on the car, plus 8 years or 100,000 miles on the hybrid battery*.

Jaecoo 8 Plug-in Hybrid: Built for Taxi Shifts

The Jaecoo 8 uses Jaecoo's Super Hybrid System (SHS-P). A 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine works with electric motors to give a combined 428PS and 580Nm of torque, with 0-62mph in 5.8 seconds. In everyday taxi work, that means effortless pulling power even with a full car and a boot full of cases.

The 34.46kWh battery is one of the largest you will find in a plug-in hybrid. If you can charge at home overnight, many short town and station jobs can be done without using any petrol, which can lower your weekly running costs. On longer jobs, the car simply switches to hybrid mode.

Jaecoo 8 Space for Passengers and Luggage

At 4,820mm long with a 2,820mm wheelbase, the Jaecoo 8 is a genuinely large SUV. With all seats in use there is 200 litres of boot space, enough for a few soft bags. Fold the third row down and the boot grows to 738 litres, which is ideal for airport runs with four or five passengers and their luggage.

Need to tow? The Jaecoo 8 can pull up to 1,600kg (braked), which is useful for taxi drivers who also carry trailers or luggage carts for group work.

Can I License a Jaecoo 8 as a Taxi?

Outside London, every local council sets its own rules for private hire and hackney carriage vehicles. These can include vehicle age, number of doors, seat sizes, legroom, access to the rear seats and emissions. Some councils also have extra rules for 7-seat vehicles, such as how passengers get in and out of the third row, or how many passengers the car can be licensed for.

As a brand new, low-emission plug-in hybrid, the Jaecoo 8 is a strong fit for many councils, but always check your local vehicle licensing policy before you buy. Talk to our team and we'll help you understand what to look for.
