The Chinese brand's second model will be 'pet friendly'. The debut is expected this month

Aesthetically, the Jaecoo 5 seems to echo the sharp design of the larger Jaecoo 7, while having an even more elaborate tail. In particular, the shapes of the rear end are reminiscent of the Range Rover Evoque, with the horizontally positioned lights at the top and a small spoiler integrated into the roof.

The large panoramic roof can also be glimpsed in the photos, while the grille appears imposing (and chrome) as in the 7. However, the most curious feature of the 5 is its pet-friendly philosophy, as hinted in the press release accompanying the teasers.

Since the Chery group landed in Europe, Spain has been the first market on the continent. According to Charlie Zhang, vice-president of Chery Group and president of the business unit for Europe, their intention is to produce some of the models in the Zona Franca of Barcelona, in the facilities that once belonged to Nissan. Their aim is to generate progress wherever they sell their cars.

But the Chery group has not only looked to Spain to set up part of its infrastructure, but also has an R&D centre in Germany responsible for the design, development and validation of the models to ensure their reliability, durability and to adapt them to the demanding tastes of European customers.
