The Jaecoo J8 1.5 DHT is a first-generation configuration, and one useful starting point is how its automatic transmission handles the job of matching engine effort to wheel demand.

Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
Turbo
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
AWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
77.0 x 80.5 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
1499 cm³
Engine location
Front, transverse
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
3
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
597 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
439 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
With a plug-in setup, an automatic transmission has a second energy path to manage: stored electrical charge can drive the wheels directly, while the combustion side converts fuel chemically into heat and expansion in the cylinders. Gear selection follows whichever source is supplying effort.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
AWD describes how torque reaches the wheels, not how it is taken away. Stopping distance comes from brake friction, tyre grip and mass, so a driven-wheel layout alone says nothing about how quickly the car halts.
Body and Practicality
A five-door SUV body has a fixed outline, but the space it needs is larger than its footprint: each door sweeps outward on its hinge, so a bay that fits the parked shape may still not allow the rear doors to open fully.
