“14 Countries Marathon – Trip with SHS (technology), Home for Christmas” was an international test across 14 European countries, with journalists and car experts from across the continent participating, including representatives from Croatia and Slovenia. The route included mountain sections, urban areas, motorways, and more demanding climatic conditions – ideal terrain to demonstrate SHS (Super Hybrid System).

We (journalists and car experts) from Croatia and Slovenia started our press road trip in Zagreb, where we were introduced to JAECOO 7 SHS.

This stylish and comfortable car made the road trip to Budapest a breeze.

Additional tip: For those who travel by car and want to reach their destination as soon as possible, a range of more than 1,200 kilometers with just one tank and a charged 18.3 kWh battery will come in handy, which will allow you to reach many destinations abroad practically in one go.

Advent in Budapest

After arriving in the Hungarian capital city, we checked into the hotel (Al Habtoor Palace Budapest) and went sightseeing. Every time I visit Budapest, I discover more and more cultural sights, architectural gems, and fun activities. On this occasion, I marveled at the holiday lights and decorations of this charming European city. I hope you’ll enjoy the photos I took.

Sightseeing in Budapest – Powered by JAECOO

On our second day in the Hungarian capital, all of us journalists joined the sightseeing tour of Budapest, powered by Omoda & Jaecoo. The vehicle of choice, JAECOO 7 SHS, of course.

Additional tip: For a noiseless driving experience around the city, the battery provides up to 130 kilometers of electric power alone, allowing entry into the centers of many cities where entry is either prohibited or an additional eco-tax is paid for vehicles that do not meet strict eco-standards.

As a passenger in the car, I had the opportunity to photograph some of the most famous landmarks we saw along the way. JAECOO 7 SHS’ design made it easy to have a great view of the sights. Have a look.
