London, 23 July 2025 – Following in the tyre tracks of the larger and already well-received JAECOO 7, the all-new JAECOO 5 now officially joins the UK SUV landscape with pricing and specifications confirmed. Positioned as a versatile, outdoor-ready compact SUV with premium flair, the JAECOO 5 arrives with a competitive starting price of £24,505 OTR* and first customer deliveries expected in October 2025.
Brought to the UK by OMODA&JAECOO, and showcased to thousands at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, the JAECOO 5 delivers the brand’s signature upright stance, distinctive waterfall grille and strong shoulder lines – inspired by rugged landscapes and a sense of exploration. But beneath the bold exterior lies a well-judged blend of technology, comfort, and practicality tailored for real-world use.
Design for the Driven
The JAECOO 5 isn’t just about looking capable—it’s been engineered to meet the needs of daily driving and weekend wandering alike. With a front-wheel-drive platform, Chery International’s 1.6-litre turbocharged direct injection petrol engine, and a smooth 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, it delivers a confident 147 PS and 275 Nm of torque. Whether navigating urban streets or heading off the beaten path, selectable Eco, Normal and Sport modes help tailor the drive.
Developed with input from Chery International’s European R&D centre, the JAECOO 5 has been finely tuned to meet the demands of British roads, with a balanced chassis and composed handling designed to inspire confidence behind the wheel.
Interior Focus: Comfort Meets Functionality
Inside, the JAECOO 5 prioritises serenity and space. A five-seat layout offers generous room for all occupants, with two rear ISOFIX points, more than 35 storage compartments, and up to 1,180 litres of boot space with the rear seats folded down – perfect for luggage, pets or gear.
In Pure specification, the SUV is impressively well equipped with features such as:
- 13.2” vertical touchscreen
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
- 540-degree surround-view camera
- Six-speaker SONY audio system
- Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

A Safety-First Approach
Underpinning the JAECOO 5’s appeal is a strong commitment to safety. With a global five-star safety rating, 19 ADAS functions, and Level 2 semi-autonomous driving features, it’s built to support, protect and simplify everyday driving.
Safety technologies include:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane keep assist
- Traffic sign recognition

These systems are designed not only to mitigate risk but also to reduce driver fatigue, giving owners peace of mind on every journey.
An Electrified Future
While the JAECOO 5 launches with an internal combustion engine, JAECOO UK has confirmed that a fully electric JAECOO 5 EV is in the pipeline. More information on this upcoming model will be shared in the coming weeks, as the brand continues its commitment to sustainable mobility and cutting-edge technology.
