Volvo and BMW, make some room – because the Jaecoo 5 compact SUV has landed in the UK with a price that’s impossible to ignore: £24,505 OTR. Orders are open now, with deliveries starting October 2025, and it’s going straight for the small SUV market with real design, features and value.
Fresh Design with Attitude
The Jaecoo 5 takes cues from its bigger brother, the Jaecoo 7, but adds its own personality. From the chunky body lines inspired by nature to the sharp waterfall grille and sculpted bumpers, it doesn’t just blend in – it stands out. A fresh set of alloys adds to its confident, upright posture.
Surprisingly Roomy Inside
Despite being “compact”, the interior is anything but cramped. The cabin comfortably fits five passengers and includes dual ISOFIX mounts for child seats. Step inside, and you’re greeted by an upscale vibe, anchored by a clean dashboard design and a large 13.2-inch vertical touchscreen that handles everything from music to maps.
You’ll find no shortage of practicality here – there are over 35 smart storage areas, a roomy 480-litre boot that stretches to 1,180 litres with the rear seats down, and acoustic double-glazing that helps hush the outside world.
Packed with Features and Tech
Even the base ‘Pure’ trim comes with:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® / Android Auto™
- 540-degree camera system
- Six-speaker SONY audio
- Level 2 ADAS functions
Choose the ‘Luxury’ trim (priced from £28,000) and you unlock added comfort with features like cooled front seats, a wide-opening sunroof, ambient cabin lighting, and dual-zone climate control.
Powertrain Tuned for UK Roads
Under the bonnet, the 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine produces 147 PS and 275 Nm, with a 7-speed DCT auto. Tuned by Chery’s European R&D team, the setup promises a balanced ride – whether you’re in Eco, Normal or Sport mode.
An EV version is coming soon, with up to 250 miles of range.
Safety and Warranty
You Can TrustIt’s not short on peace of mind either. It has a global 5-star safety rating, 19 ADAS safety features and a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty (3 years unlimited mileage).
