Car changing is a big deal
This is the new Jaecoo E5, a rugged-looking electric SUV which is priced to compete with the Ford Puma Gen-E, but styled to take on something much more premium.

- Prices start from £27,505
- Range Rover-esque styling
- Up to 248 miles of range
- 207hp electric motor powering the front wheels
Jaecoo has just launched its first electric car, the new E5. A petrol version of this car was revealed earlier this summer as well, and both could be mistaken for a Range Rover Evoque from a distance.
The new E5 gets a 207hp electric motor, 248 miles of range and it starts from £27,505, making it cheaper than a lot of alternatives. First deliveries of this car will start in October.
New Jaecoo E5 price and specs
With prices starting from £27,505, the new Jaecoo E5 seems like a bit of a bargain for something which looks this premium. A Ford Puma Gen-E is around £2,500 more expensive, and a Peugeot E-2008 will cost you almost £5,000 more.
However, you can get the Ford for as little as £27,300 through Carwow at the time of writing, so make sure you check out all the latest electric car deals before you buy. The Jaecoo E5 may be too new for any Carwow savings just yet, but that’s likely to change once deliveries start. Keep an eye on the latest Jaecoo deals for the best offers.
The government’s new EV grant scheme is also worth considering, because Chinese brands may not be eligible. Some have started offering their own discounts in response, but Jaecoo hasn’t jumped on this bandwagon just yet. Check out our full list of EVs which qualify for the grant to see how much you can save.
The Jaecoo E5 comes with loads of equipment as standard, something we’ve come to expect from Chinese brands. There are just two trim levels to choose from, and even the basic car gets adaptive cruise control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a surround-view camera system.
Stepping up to the top-spec Luxury model will set you back an extra £3,000, and for this you get heated and ventilated front seats, acoustic glass to keep the cabin noise down, a power tailgate and LED headlights.
New Jaecoo E5 design and interior
Jaecoo appears to be sticking to a signature look across all of its cars, because they all share very similar design features.
Like the larger Jaecoo 7, the new E5 has a bluff nose and a boxy side profile. There’s more than a hint of Range Rover about these cars.
Being an electric car, the E5 does have a slightly different front end to the petrol-powered version. It loses the big, imposing slatted grille in favour of a smoothed-off fascia, something which is likely to help with aerodynamics.
As for the interior, it’s basically the same as the petrol Jaecoo 5. This means a large, portrait screen sits proudly in the middle of the dashboard, and it has a similar button-free layout to the larger Jaecoo 7.
New Jaecoo E5 motors, batteries and range
The Jaecoo E5’s motor and battery lineup is pretty simple, because there’s only one option. You get a 207hp motor driving the front wheels, and it can launch the car from 0-60mph in a respectable 7.7 seconds. Not blistering performance, but it’ll likely feel plenty nippy enough.
Powering that motor you have a 61kWh battery, which is similar to the one used in the Omoda E5 as Omoda and Jaecoo are owned by the same company.It gives the car up to 248 miles of range. That’s 15 miles more than a Ford Puma Gen-E, but a Kia EV3 can do 375 miles on a charge.
The Jaecoo also falls a bit behind the Kia on charging as well, because it can only top up at 80kW on a DC fast charger. It’ll go from 30-80% in 27 minutes, whereas the EV3 takes 29 minutes to go from 10-80%.
Still, you do get clever vehicle-to-load charging in the Jaecoo E5, meaning you can power household appliances using the car’s battery. Ideal if you’re out camping and you fancy heating up a Rustler’s burger in the microwave.
