The UK market is preparing to welcome another challenger in the compact SUV segment, as Jaecoo confirms pricing and specifications for its latest arrivals. The new Jaecoo 5 and fully electric Jaecoo E5 will launch in late summer, offering UK drivers and fleets a fresh alternative from one of the rising Chinese brands making waves in Europe.

With prices starting at just £24,505 for the petrol-powered Jaecoo 5 and £27,505 for the all-electric E5, these new SUVs are set to bring both affordability and choice to buyers. Positioned as stylish yet practical rivals to models such as the Range Rover Evoque and Kia EV3, Jaecoo vehicles are designed to combine everyday usability with advanced features that appeal to both personal and business users.

Jaecoo 5 – Petrol-Powered SUV

The entry-level Jaecoo 5 is built on the same platform as the Omoda 5 and comes equipped with a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 147PS. CO2 emissions are measured at 159g/km, making it competitive within the compact SUV sector.

Pricing starts at £24,505, positioning the model well for drivers seeking value without compromising on modern design or technology. Boot capacity is a generous 480 litres, ensuring plenty of space for family needs or fleet practicality.

Inside, the Jaecoo 5 comes with a strong equipment list. Features include automatic halogen headlights, a six-speaker Sony audio system, and a 13.2-inch central infotainment screen. The system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving seamless smartphone integration. A 540-degree parking camera system further enhances peace of mind, making urban driving and tight manoeuvres much easier.

For those wanting more, the Luxury trim is available from £28,000. This upgrade introduces heated and ventilated power-adjustable front seats, a cooled wireless charging pad, and a panoramic sunroof.

Jaecoo E5 – All-Electric SUV

For drivers and businesses looking to transition to electric, the Jaecoo E5 is the brand’s second UK launch. Priced from £27,505, it offers an appealing entry point into the EV market.

Under the bonnet, the E5 shares its technology with the Omoda E5, utilising a 61.1kWh battery paired with a 207PS electric motor. This setup delivers an impressive WLTP range of up to 248 miles on a single charge. Performance is lively, with 0–62mph achieved in just 7.7 seconds.

Charging has also been designed with convenience in mind. Using rapid charging, the battery can be boosted to 80% in around 27 minutes, helping to minimise downtime. For fleet operators and regular drivers alike, that’s a valuable asset when time is money.

Equipment levels are generous too. The entry-level Pure version offers the same infotainment and parking technology as the petrol Jaecoo 5, while the Luxury trim, starting from £30,505, adds premium touches such as an eight-speaker Sony audio system, heated and ventilated seats, a sunroof, and cooled wireless phone charging.

What This Means for UK Buyers and Fleets

The arrival of the Jaecoo 5 and Jaecoo E5 highlights the increasing presence of Omoda Jaecoo in the UK market. These models bring a balance of affordability, technology, and everyday practicality, making them strong contenders in the competitive compact SUV category.

For families, the combination of spacious interiors, advanced safety features, and user-friendly infotainment makes the new Jaecoo range appealing. For fleet managers, the availability of an electric option with a range of 248 miles provides a viable opportunity to reduce running costs and emissions, while still meeting operational demands.

The E5 in particular offers a compelling mix of performance and efficiency. With competitive pricing, quick charging times, and features that enhance driver comfort, it stands as a practical option for businesses ready to embrace electrification.

With the launch of the Jaecoo 5 and Jaecoo E5, UK buyers can expect more choice in the compact SUV market. Whether opting for the petrol-powered practicality of the Jaecoo 5 or the forward-looking sustainability of the all-electric E5, both models offer excellent value.
