Being smaller in size than the 7. The Jaecoo 5 is 4.38 metres long, The design, clean and modern, is clearly inspired by that of the Range Rover Evoque, re-proposing some of the typical traits such as the 'suspended' roof, also in black, the side, furrowed by a regular beltline (but without retractable handles), or the rear, with LED light clusters joined by a black band bearing the brand name. The large square grille with vertical slats, touched by full LED headlamps with dual horizontal daytime running lights, makes an impact. On the bumper, vertical inserts contribute to the idea of robustness. Cleverly, the doors completely cover the sills so as not to ruin your trousers when the bodywork is dirty. In this respect, five colours are available. The alloy wheels, on the launch version, are 18 inches and with a design studied for the best aerodynamic performance. The dashboard is very elegant in its layout, with a vertically arranged central screen that then connects to the tunnel and is equipped with induction charging with ventilation to prevent the smartphone from overheating. Next to it is another slot, without charging, while below the tunnel there is space for bulky objects and also three charging sockets: USB-A, USB-C and 12V. Testifying to the care taken in the construction are such attentions as the customisable ambient lighting, the carpeting on the bottom of the compartment below the central armrest, the powerful LED inside the glovebox and, more generally, the alternation of soft materials of different types and colours in the upper and central parts of the passenger compartment. A curiosity: the entire choice of upholstery was guided by the desire to offer durable and easily washable surfaces to accommodate four-legged friends.
The Jaecoo 5 arrives with three powertrain options. To start with, there is the 'pure' combustion version, which can rely on a 1.6-litre four-cylinder 147 PS turbocharged petrol engine, combined with front-wheel drive and an automatic transmission.
The second variant, on the other hand, is the full hybrid, of which there is currently no information other than the power output, again 147 PS. Third is the 100 per cent electric version, which promises a power output of 204 PS, and a 67 kWh battery. Further information and technical specifications will be released later.
