JAECOO 5 petrol or E5 electric?
Start with your normal week. Where do you park, how far do you travel and could you charge while the car is standing still? Those answers will tell you more than the power figures alone.
JAECOO 5 petrol
Familiar refuelling, automatic driving
- Engine
- 1.6-litre turbo petrol
- Power / torque
- 140 PS / 275 Nm
- Gearbox
- 7-speed dual-clutch automatic
- Fuel tank
- 51 litres
A straightforward choice if you want to keep your usual refuelling routine, particularly when your journeys change from week to week.
JAECOO E5 electric
Electric power, charging around your routine
- Power / torque
- 207 PS / 288 Nm
- Battery
- 60.9 kWh
- Official range
- Up to 248 miles WLTP
- 0–62 mph
- 7.7 seconds
A strong option if you can regularly charge at home or work. Its extra power also gives it the quicker acceleration of these two versions.
Figures: JAECOO UK. WLTP is a standardised test for comparing vehicles. Actual electric range varies with temperature, speed, load, driving style and heating or air-conditioning use.
Think about your week
Which fits your journeys?
The petrol model makes sense if convenient refuelling is a priority. Its seven-speed automatic takes care of gear changes, and you can plan a longer trip around the filling stations you already use.
With the E5, charging can become something you do while the car is parked. If you have suitable charging access, that can fit neatly around a commute, the school run and weekend plans.
For longer electric journeys, look at charging stops along your usual routes. Compare the tariffs you would actually pay at home, work or public chargers when thinking about running costs.
Choose your equipment
Pure or Luxury: what changes?
Both the petrol JAECOO 5 and electric E5 are offered in Pure and Luxury trims. Pure already covers many of the features drivers use daily. Luxury builds on that with extra comfort and convenience.
Pure: the everyday essentials
- 540° panoramic parking camera.
- 13.2-inch central touchscreen.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for compatible phones.
- Automatic headlights and auto-adjusting front wipers.
- 18-inch alloy wheels.
If your priorities are easy phone connectivity and help with parking, Pure is a sensible place to start.
Luxury: more comfort built in
- Synthetic leather seat upholstery.
- Heated and ventilated front seats with electric adjustment.
- Panoramic glass roof with powered sunshade.
- Wireless phone charging.
- Eight-speaker SONY audio.
E5 Luxury specifies a 50W cooled wireless charger for compatible phones. A useful detail to try with your own device during a showroom visit.
Would you use seat heating on winter mornings, ventilation in summer or the larger audio system on every drive? If so, Luxury deserves a look. If those extras are less important to you, Pure keeps the key technology in the picture.

The details you live with
Make the cabin work for you
There is more to choosing a trim than reading an equipment list. Sit in both versions, adjust the driving position and see how the upholstery and controls feel to you.
Ask the team to connect your phone, show you the parking camera and demonstrate the front-seat settings. It is a practical way to work out which extras you will appreciate most.
Space for everyday life
Five seats and a useful boot
JAECOO quotes 480 litres of boot space for both the petrol 5 and E5, increasing to 1,180 litres with the rear seats folded. The split-folding rear seats give you flexibility when you need to carry longer items.
Bring your usual pushchair, luggage or sports bag when you visit. Trying the items you actually carry is the best way to judge the space and access for yourself.
