Electric Jaecoo E5 coming this October with 248 mile range for under £30k

Electric Jaecoo E5

Chinese brand Jaecoo has only offered the one model and is sold alongside Omoda in the UK, which offers the petrol 5, electric E5 and new hybrid 9. The Jaecoo J7 went on sale in January and has been pretty successful for the brand, with over 10,000 sold - according to the latest SMMT data.

However, unlike Omoda, Jaecoo hasn't had a full EV in its lineup until now. The new hybrid Jaecoo J5 was announced pretty recently and is a smaller, compact SUV designed to be a direct rival to the Range Rover Evoque, although much cheaper.

Jaecoo now has the related E5, a fully electric version of the J5 with a distinctive design, blanked off grile and flat front body panels.

The E5 doesn't have ground breaking specs, but has decent range on paper. With a 61.1kWh battery, 80kW DC charging and Vehicle to Load (V2L). There's a single electric motor powering the front wheels, making 204bhp and 212lb ft of torque. 0-62mph is handled in 7.7 seconds.

Pricing is competitive, starting at £27,505 for the Pure, with the Luxury trim coming in at £30,505. This adds a Sony sound system, panoramic sunroof and heated and ventilated front seats.

The new Jaecoo E5 will start being delivered to UK customers this October and has a 7 year/100,000 mile warranty.
