Jaecoo has expanded its presence in the UAE with the launch of the new J5 SUV, a stylish five-seater positioned in the highly competitive mid-size SUV segment. Following the opening of its new experience centre on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, the Chinese automaker is aiming to attract buyers looking for a premium-looking SUV packed with modern technology at an affordable price.
The Jaecoo J5 is available in three variants:
| Variant | Price (Excluding VAT) |
|---|---|
| Urban | AED 64,900 |
| Luxury | AED 73,900 |
| Elite | AED 79,900 |
The entry-level Urban variant comes equipped with essentials such as a rear-view camera, four airbags, silver alloy wheels, and a four-speaker audio system.
Stepping up to the Luxury trim adds a 50W wireless charging pad, six airbags, and a six-speaker Sony sound system. The range-topping Elite variant further enhances the package with ventilated front seats, power-adjustable seating, an eight-speaker Sony audio setup, and a 540-degree surround-view camera system.
The Jaecoo J5 adopts a design language that takes inspiration from premium SUVs, featuring a bold upright grille, sleek LED lighting elements, sculpted body panels, and a sporty roof spoiler.
Measuring 4,380 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width, and 1,650 mm in height, the SUV offers a balanced footprint for both city driving and family use. Depending on the variant, buyers can choose between 17-inch and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Customers in the UAE can select from seven exterior colour options, including:
Inside, the Jaecoo J5 features a clean and minimalist dashboard design centred around a large 13.2-inch portrait-style infotainment display. An additional digital instrument cluster provides essential driving information.
The cabin benefits from premium materials, leather upholstery, and generous passenger space. One of the standout features is the large 1.5-square-metre panoramic sunroof, which enhances the sense of openness inside the vehicle.
Practicality is another strong point, with a 480-litre boot that expands to 1,180 litres when the rear seats are folded in a 60:40 configuration.
The J5 comes equipped with a wide range of modern convenience features, including:
Safety equipment varies across the range, with the top-spec Elite model receiving the most comprehensive package.
Key safety features include:
Powering the Jaecoo J5 is a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 156 bhp and 230 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a CVT automatic transmission and drives the front wheels.
The SUV offers three selectable driving modes:
While the J5 is designed primarily for urban commuting and highway cruising, its 176 mm ground clearance provides enough confidence for occasional rough-road use.
The new Jaecoo J5 is now available across Al-Futtaim Jaecoo showrooms in the UAE. With its attractive pricing, premium-inspired styling, spacious interior, and comprehensive technology package, the J5 aims to be a compelling option for buyers seeking a value-focused family SUV.
The Jaecoo J5 enters the UAE market as an affordable yet feature-rich SUV that successfully blends premium styling, modern technology, and everyday practicality. With prices starting below AED 65,000, a spacious cabin, advanced safety systems, and a turbocharged powertrain, the J5 offers strong value for money and could quickly become a popular choice among family SUV buyers in the region.
