Introducing the new JAECOO 5
The JAECOO 5 has already made waves in the crowded SUV market, earning a reputation for offering luxury at an attractive price. Though it boasts decent value for money, the 5 is anything but cheap in quality, and is already keeping up with rivals that have been household named for years.
Sitting just below the larger JAECOO 7, the 5 offers plenty of room for families to travel in complete comfort, yet remains easy to handle and manoeuvre around city streets.
Like every model in the JAECOO line-up, the 5 also comes injected with a dose of off-road DNA. It's rugged enough to handle a muddy track or weekend adventure, while still practical enough for the demands of everyday life.
Design and Practicality
From the outside, the 5 makes a great first impression, offering something fresh to the typical SUVs you're used to seeing on the road. Up front, the large grille dominates the face, creating a rugged look, along with slim LED headlights that add a modern edge.
The boot holds 480 litres as standard and expands to 1,180 litres with the rear seats folded flat, while a powered tailgate adds real convenience when loading shopping or luggage.
A 75kg roof rack and 750kg towing capacity make it ideal for bikes, roof boxes, or a small trailer, and there’s even a detachable magnetic camping light for evenings outdoors.
Passengers are well catered for, too - the second row offers an impressive 1,492mm of width so three can sit in comfort, while the panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with light and adds to the feeling of space.
Technology and Safety
Technology and convenience are front and centre with the JAECOO 5. At the heart of the cabin sits a 13.2-inch portrait central LCD display, accompanied by a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, which shows speed, navigation and driver-assistance information at a glance.
Even standard features are what you'd expect from a top-spec model, including heated front seats, a 6-speaker audio system, and a full-length panoramic sunroof. If you opt for the Luxury trim, you get even more equipment, such as electrically adjustable front seats and mirrors, dual-zone climate control, and PM2.5 air purification.
Safety and security is highlighted by a long list of standard features, including:
- Multiple Collision Defence System (MCB)
- Hill Decent Control
- Lane Departure Prevention (LDP)
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- 540° Panoramic View Camera
Engines and Performance
The JAECOO 5 is offered with a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 145hp and 203lb ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission driving the front wheels.
The power delivery is smooth, with enough punch to handle motorway driving and long journeys with ease, and it soaks up bumps on the road well, making for a comfortable ride even on rougher terrain.
For buyers seeking a zero-emissions alternative, the JAECOO 5 BEV provides the same interior space and off-road capability while offering a quiet and refined driving experience.
To further enhance the versatility and driving enjoyment of the 5, you also get three standard driving modes to suit a variety of conditions, including Normal, ECO, and Sport.
