New Jaecoo 5 costs from £24,505

The latest car from Chinese brand Jaecoo goes on sale later this summer.

The Jaecoo 5 SUV, although available as an electric vehicle (EV) in other parts of the world, will be petrol powered when it goes on sale, with prices starting at less than £25,000. The electric version will follow soon.

Touted as a potential rival for the likes of the Range Rover Evoque, the Jaecoo 5 will be available in two trim levels, powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine. The entry-level Pure trim will have halogen headlights and six-speaker Sony sound system, while the Luxury trim will upgrade to a panoramic roof, eight-speaker sound system and wireless phone charging, with six-way power adjustable seats with heating and ventilation for front-seat occupants. A seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty from new is also likely to turn heads.

The Jaecoo 5 will be the second car from the Chinese brand since it launched in the UK at the start of 2025. You can read more about the larger Jaecoo 7 in our review.

New 2025 Jaecoo 5: exterior and interior

The new Jaecoo 5 will share the same mechanical underpinnings (the T1X platform) as its larger stablemate, as well several cars from sister brand Omoda – both are owned by the Chery group. Its visuals are very similar to the Jaecoo 7, but... well, smaller, and with a sleeker line very reminiscent of the Range Rover look.

Inside, there's an sizable 13.2-inch infotainment screen, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a driver display behind the steering wheel. A six-speaker Sony sound system is standard, as is a 540-degree camera system.

Exact boot specifications haven't been announced, although with the seats down you'll have 1180 litres of space. Jaecoo also says there's more than 35 litres of interior storage space.

While an electric version is on the way soon, the UK will get a front-wheel-drive, petrol-powered version first. It's a 1.6-litre turbocharged unit, with 147PS and 275Nm of torque, mated to a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox. There are no performance figures yet released.

New 2025 Jaecoo 5: trim levels

There are two trim levels on the new Jaecoo 5. The entry level trim is the Pure model, which has halogen headlights, manually adjustable seats, double-layerd glass to reduce cabin noise, and two Isofix child-seat mounting points on the outer rear seats. You get the six-speaker Sony sound system and the full infotainment system, as well as various advanced driving assistance systems.

Upgrade to the Luxury model and you'll get power-adjustable front seats (heated and ventilated), dual-zone climate control, ambient interior lighting and a cooled wireless charging pad. The front storage box is cooled, too, and there's an opening panoramic sunroof. The sound system is upgraded to an eight-speaker system.
