Start with your passengers
Six seats or five?
The most useful difference between these two flagship SUVs is inside. The JAECOO 8 Executive has a 2+2+2 layout: two front seats, two individual chairs in the middle and two folding seats at the back.
Those second-row captain’s chairs are central to its appeal. Their heating, ventilation and massage functions give passengers their own comfort settings, while the third row adds room when family or friends come along.
The OMODA 9 Black Noble has a conventional five-seat layout with a split-folding rear bench. It is a straightforward choice to explore if you want a flagship SUV for up to five people, without a third row.
Need seven seats? The JAECOO 8 Luxury is the seven-seat version. Executive is the six-seater compared here.

The OMODA 9 has the quicker published acceleration time. The JAECOO 8 also offers strong performance, alongside the flexibility of its third row. The seating you need and the features you enjoy are useful starting points before arranging a drive.
Design and everyday technology
What makes Black Noble different?
Black Noble adds a darker finish to the OMODA 9’s streamlined shape. OMODA’s UK specification lists 20-inch black alloy wheels, black roof rails and black detailing around the bumpers, bonnet and doors. It gives the flagship a distinctive appearance without changing its five-seat format.
Inside, the equipment includes a head-up display, panoramic sunroof and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The current Invicta OMODA 9 equipment list also includes a SONY audio system and a panoramic parking camera.
JAECOO 8 takes a more upright approach to SUV styling, with a prominent grille and a substantial profile. Its Invicta specification includes smartphone integration, a panoramic glass roof and a surround-view camera too, so both bring useful technology alongside their individual designs.
Make charging part of your routine
Plug-in power for everyday journeys
A plug-in hybrid gives you two ways to cover your journeys. Charge the battery for electric driving, then use the petrol-electric hybrid system when the trip takes you further.
If you can charge regularly at home or work, compare your usual daily mileage with each model’s published electric range. Leave a margin for colder weather and faster roads, then consider how often you would realistically plug in.
At your visit, ask the team to show you the charging connection and explain the car’s charging settings. It is also a good opportunity to connect your own phone and try the parking camera while stationary.
