The Jaecoo J5 (also known as Jaecoo 5) is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) produced by Chery under the Jaecoo brand since 2025. It is available with petrol, petrol hybrid (SHS-H), and battery electric (EV) powertrain options.
Design
The exterior of the Jaecoo J5 features a simplified front fascia design that includes the trademark 'waterfall' grille (only for petrol and SHS-H models), conventional door handles, a suspended roof design, and a full-width taillight bar connected by a black trim piece bearing the brand name. In contrast to the combustion-engine model, the battery electric model showcases a distinct front fascia design with a transparent trim piece displaying the brand name, as well as a different bumper design that incorporates an air intake.[4][5]
Inside, the interior has a minimalistic approach with fewer buttons on the dashboard and features a waterfall-style centre console. The dashboard features a 13.2-inch portrait touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument panel, the gear lever used for the automatic transmission is mounted on the steering wheel, and a two-spoke design steering wheel derived from the Omoda C9. Other interior features include a 1.45m² panoramic glass roof, customisable ambient lighting, dual smartphone holders includes a Qi wireless charger, and a storage area under the centre console.[4][5][6] Jaecoo claims the J5 is a "pet-friendly" SUV with features such as an antibacterial "health device" prevents any bacterial growth inside the car, a cabin air filter that sucks out pet hair from the air, extended seats, and an "intelligent" temperate control system.[6]
The J5 has a boot space of 480 L (17 cu ft) and expands to 1,180 L (42 cu ft) when the rear seats are folded.[4]

Interior
Similarly to the larger Jaecoo J7, the J5 has been dubbed the "Temu Range Rover" due to its styling and price tag.[7] Jaecoo's parent Chery has a joint venture with Jaguar Land Rover in China.[8]
J5 EV
The J5 EV was previewed as a prototype model at the 2025 Indonesia International Motor Show,[9] and as a production model at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show.[10][11]
