New Jaecoo 5 on sale soon: cut-price Range Rover Evoque alternative to cost from £24,505
July 23, 2025 by Jamie Edkins
Car changing is a big deal
This is the new Jaecoo 5, a small and stylish SUV from China which will go on sale in the next few weeks.
Jaecoo is about to launch its second car in the UK, and it’s an SUV which is smaller than the current Jaecoo 7. The new Jaecoo 5 will be available with a 1.6-litre petrol engine to start with, but a fully electric version is coming at a later date.
It has a pretty eye-catching starting price of just £24,505, making it cheaper than a Toyota Yaris Cross. Not bad for a premium-looking SUV with loads of standard equipment.
Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.
New Jaecoo 5 price and specs
The new Jaecoo 5 will be available in two trim levels, starting with the Pure. It comes with a Sony stereo system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise control and automatic headlights, all for £24,505.
That’s around £2,000 less than a Toyota Yaris Cross or a Ford Puma. Step up to the Luxury trim level and you get heated and ventilated front seats, a cooled wireless charging pad for your phone and a couple of extra speakers for the sound system. This version costs £28,000, which isn’t a huge step up considering the level of extra equipment you get.
Order books for the new Jaecoo 5 will open soon, with first customer deliveries starting in October.
New Jaecoo 5 design and interior
To look at, the Jaecoo 5 very much looks like “Honey, I shrunk the Jaecoo 7”. It has a similarly rugged appearance to its larger stablemate, which is no bad thing because it’s a handsome-looking car.
A Peugeot 2008 may be a bit more exciting to look at, but if you’re after Range Rover vibes on a budget then the Jaecoo 5 could be for you. From the side especially this looks like a Range Rover Evoque.
Inside you get a large portrait touchscreen, and it has a similar button-free layout as the Jaecoo 7. It’s a classy-looking cabin, but we’ll have to wait until we get our hands on the car to see if the quality matches up to German alternatives like the Mercedes GLA.
New Jaecoo 5 engine and performance
The new Jaecoo 5 is launching with a 1.6-litre petrol engine which puts out 147hp, and it’s paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox – there’s no option for a manual.
An electric version will also follow at a later date, the first EV to come from this brand. There are limited details about specs, but it wouldn’t be surprising to find similar battery and motor options to the Omoda E5 under the skin – the two brands are very closely related. This means you can expect around 250 miles of range and a 204hp motor.
