Jaecoo J5 EV launched in the UK as Jaecoo E5 – 211 PS/288 Nm, 61.1 kWh LFP, 400 km range, RM157k-174k

The Jaecoo J5 EV has been launched in the UK as the Jaecoo E5, Auto Express reports. Pure (£27,505, RM157k) and Luxury (£30,505, RM174k) variants are available, and UK deliveries start in October. In comparison, the petrol J5 (known simply as the 5 there) costs £24,505-28,000 (RM140k-160k).

The zero-emissions B-segment SUV has one 211 PS/288 Nm front motor and a 61.1 kWh LFP battery (30-80% in 27 minutes at the max 80 kW DC) that yields 400 km of range. 0-100 km/h takes 7.7 seconds. It’s got vehicle-to-load (V2L), approach and departure angles of 20 and 30 degrees respectively, Pet Mode (keeps cabin cool and secure while you’re out of the car) and a 480-litre boot (expandable to 1,180 litres).

The Pure variant gets a 12.3-inch portrait touchscreen, a 540-degree camera, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, six Sony speakers, six-way manual front seats and 19 ADAS functions including ACC. The Luxury variant adds a panoramic sunroof, a wireless charging pad, heated/ventilated front seats, ambient lighting and two more Sony speakers for eight in total.

Looks-wise, it’s pretty much a Jaecoo J5 with no grille, and the Jaecoo emblem has moved up to a thick bar between the headlamps. The interior is also pretty much J5 – although the car we saw at the 2025 Bangkok International Motor Show had bright upholstery. The J5 is coming to Malaysia – excited?

      The Fun fact is that there is growing demand and sales for Chery Jaecoo at UK,
      A comfortable alternative to LandRover.

      Later 2026 LandRover Freelander also to use Chery E0X EV platform?

      Yes it is copy but at least they did copy it nicely. “dalamnya jauh beza”? I think you have to rethink if this is correct. I suggest you go showroom and touch the material inside the Jaecoo J7 and Omoda C9 and come back to comment again. Of course Jaecoo is not premium like Land Rover, but it is not that “jauh beza” as you think.

      I also bias that Chinese car is only copy cat and not doing well in engine, tech and material. Until I went showroom and see it myself, the Omoda C9 inside out is really premium and better than my 300k German car. Don’t even talk about the Japanese like T&H has nothing to compare as it is “jauh beza”.

      dalam memang jauh berbeza because china cars have far higher quality nicer interior , better specs , not to mention better reliability .
