A fresh name now climbs the UK sales lists and draws stares. The Jaecoo 7, shipped from China, faces down long time favourites. If talk reaches you, here is the plain truth behind the surprise.

Why does the Jaecoo 7 grab headlines?

The headline figure - last month the Jaecoo 7 moved more metal than the present Nissan Qashqai. October records list 2,611 new Jaecoo 7 registrations against 2,461 for the Qashqai. A brand that only opened order books in January now beats a household badge for a whole calendar month - that shift signals rapid momentum.

Does the Qashqai still rule the castle?

Over the full stretch of 2025 the Qashqai keeps its crown. Year-to-date tallies show 35,250 Qashqais on the road, while the Jaecoo 7 stands at 21,021. Yet the gap narrows fast. In the last quarter the Qashqai logged 10,721 sales - the Jaecoo 7 logged 10,467. The difference barely clears a couple of hundred cars.

Will the Jaecoo 7 slip into the top ten before the year closes?

The numbers say yes. To claim tenth place it must overtake the Volvo XC40, which now holds 25,106 registrations. The Jaecoo 7 sits at 21,021 and keeps a brisk pace - maintain the current rate and it will edge past the Volvo before the final December figures arrive.

What pulls buyers toward the Jaecoo 7?

Oli Lowe, UK product chief for Jaecoo, lists three hooks - sharp modern looks, a price that undercuts rivals plus a plug in hybrid drive that covers 56 miles on battery alone - enough for most daily trips. Lowe also praises the dealer body calling staff “extremely engaged and positive,” a factor that speeds the brand's early climb.

A meticulously crafted replica of the iconic Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, built by New Zealand's Tempero Coach & Motor Company, is seeking a new owner. While it may not bear the prancing horse on its official documents, this hand-built machine boasts aluminum bodywork, a V12 engine, and authentic Pininfarina badging, aiming to capture the essence of the legendary 1959 Sebring winner. However, its resemblance to the multi-million dollar original comes with a significant, albeit considerably lower, price tag.
