New Jaecoo E5 costs from £27,505

Chinese brand Jaecoo has revealed the electric version of its new SUV.

The Jaecoo E5 follows hot on the heels of the petrol-powered Jaecoo 5, with a price only £3000 more than its combustion-engined stablemate.

Touted as a potential rival for the likes of the Range Rover Evoque, the Jaecoo E5 comes with a 207PS electric motor and a 61.1kWh battery for a range of up to 248 miles on a single charge.

Like the petrol-powered Jaecoo 5, the E5 will be available in two trim levels. The entry-level Pure trim has halogen headlights and six-speaker Sony sound system, while the Luxury trim upgrades 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 is 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 & E5: exterior and interior

The new Jaecoo E5 and 5 share the same mechanical underpinnings (the T1X platform) as their 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. While the petrol-powered Jaecoo 5 gets a large statement grille, the E5's front end is blanked off for a different 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.

The E5 has a 480-litre boot that expands to 1180 litres of space with the back seats folded down. Jaecoo also says there's more than 35 litres of interior storage space.

New 2025 Jaecoo 5 & E5: engines, gearboxes, motors & batteries

The Jaecoo E5 is powered by a 207PS electric motor with 288Nm of torque, which is fed by a 61.1kWh battery that gives it an official range of up to 248 miles on a single charge. That's enough for a 0-62mph time of 7.7 seconds. Charging on an 80kW fast charger will top up the battery from 30% to 80% in around 27 minutes.

The Jaecoo 5, meanwhile, is front-wheel-drive with a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine, producing 147PS and 275Nm of torque and mated to a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox. There are no performance figures yet released.

New 2025 Jaecoo 5 & E5: trim levels

There are two trim levels on the new Jaecoo 5 and E5. 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.
