Confirmed: Affordable deals for the upcoming Jaecoo 5 small SUV model
New Electric Jaecoo 5 Set to Launch in the UK
The automotive market is abuzz with excitement as Jaecoo, a rising Chinese brand, prepares to introduce its first zero-emission offering in the UK: the electric version of the Jaecoo 5.
Priced around £28,000, the electric Jaecoo 5 is expected to hit the UK roads soon, posing a competitive challenge to other affordable electric SUVs in the market. The vehicle will boast a 61.1 kWh battery, a front-mounted electric motor producing 201 bhp, and an estimated range of approximately 250 miles - comparable to rivals like the Ford Puma Gen-E. Moreover, it will boast a maximum charging speed of 80 kW.
In contrast, the petrol Jaecoo 5, currently available in the UK, comes with a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine, producing 145-147 bhp and 275-290 Nm torque. Paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, it is priced from £24,505 and is due for delivery in October 2025.
While the additional features of the electric version compared to the petrol model have not been fully detailed yet, it is expected to offer improvements in driving smoothness, zero emissions driving, and modern electric vehicle conveniences such as faster charging and electric-specific driving modes. The petrol model offers two trims - Pure and Luxury - with features ranging from halogen headlights, a six-speaker Sony sound system, Level 2 autonomous driving, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, to a panoramic roof, heated and ventilated seats.
The electric Jaecoo 5 marks a significant step for the brand, positioning it competitively against other affordable electric SUVs. Orders for the Jaecoo 5 can be placed later this summer through Omoda and Jaecoo UK's nationwide dealership network, which is now in 75 locations.
Both versions of the Jaecoo 5 share a similar design, inspired by natural landscapes, with a bold 'waterfall' front grille. Both come with a seven-year or 100,000-mile warranty. The UK specification for the Jaecoo 5 has been confirmed, with a starting price of £24,505 for the petrol model. The entry-level Jaecoo 5 will undercut its key compact SUV competitors, including the Ford Puma.
With the launch of the electric Jaecoo 5, Jaecoo is set to join the growing number of Chinese brands offering new cars in the UK. The car made its dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and customers can place orders for the Jaecoo 5 later this summer. The first deliveries of the Jaecoo 5 are expected in October 2025. Three years of RAC Home Start cover are included as standard.
In a unique twist, an all-female team drove the compact SUV up the famous hill climb at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, showcasing Jaecoo's commitment to diversity and inclusion. The Jaecoo 5 will take on the Ford Puma and Jeep Avenger, adding another exciting chapter to the competitive world of compact SUVs.
