Verdict
The J5’s pitch is straightforward: J7-style family SUV flavour in a smaller B-segment body, with styling that takes clear cues from a Solihull-based 4x4 brand. Its 1.5-litre turbo petrol and CVT manage 0-100 km/h in 10.2 seconds and 175 km/h. At its price, it costs far more than the Perodua Ativa/Aruz/Traz trio, and sits almost level with the Renault Captur and Mazda CX-3, with the MG S5 just above it.
