With 148 years of trusted heritage under the Hayleys Group, Hayleys Mobility continues to lead Sri Lanka’s automotive sector through a combination of innovation, luxury, and uncompromising safety standards. Reinforcing this commitment, the JAECOO J7 PHEV has secured the highest possible five-star rating in both the 2025 Euro NCAP and Australasian NCAP safety assessments, excelling across key evaluation categories including adult and child occupant protection, vulnerable road user safety, and advanced driver-assistance systems.
The JAECOO J7 PHEV combines advanced structural engineering with intelligent safety technologies to provide comprehensive protection for occupants and road users alike. Enhanced frontal and side-impact protection is complemented by advanced features such as autonomous emergency braking, cyclist detection, and blind-spot monitoring systems designed to respond faster than human reflexes, supporting safer and more confident driving in real-world conditions.
Euro NCAP serves as Europe’s independent vehicle safety authority, covering the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Norway. Its globally recognised five-star rating system evaluates vehicles through a rigorous series of frontal, side, and pole-impact crash tests, alongside pedestrian protection and advanced driver-assistance technology assessments.
Meanwhile, Australasian NCAP functions as the independent vehicle safety authority for the Asia-Pacific region, conducting assessments applicable to Australia, New Zealand, and participating South-East Asian markets, including Sri Lanka. Operating in alignment with Euro NCAP protocols, ANCAP applies equally stringent testing criteria to ensure international safety standards are maintained across the region.
Commenting on the achievement, Roshani Dharmaratne stated, “At Hayleys Mobility, we have always believed that the trust Sri Lankan families place in us carries a profound responsibility. This five-star Euro NCAP and ANCAP rating for the JAECOO J7 PHEV, alongside our broader OMODA range, affirms that we are bringing world-class protection to every driver on our roads.”
Complementing this milestone, the OMODA E5, OMODA C9, and OMODA C5 have also achieved five-star Euro NCAP safety ratings, further strengthening Hayleys Mobility’s portfolio of globally recognised, safety-first vehicles.
