Jaecoo J5

Jaecoo J5

FROM $23,990

The Jaecoo J5 is a compact SUV from Chery's premium export brand. It officially debuted in late 2024 at an international summit in China before its global rollout began. This small SUV targets urban buyers who want a mix of rugged styling and modern technology. In various European and Asian markets the model is also known as the Jaecoo 5.

The first production models arrived in Australian showrooms in early 2026. This launch marked the arrival of the initial generation which included the battery-electric Jaecoo J5 EV alongside traditional petrol variants. The range features a distinct waterfall grille and a tech-heavy interior with a 13.2-inch touchscreen. It is designed to sit below the larger J7 in the local line-up.

Recent updates for the 2026 Jaecoo J5 expanded the range to include hybrid options and a focused pet-friendly interior package. These additions respond to growing demand for versatile and efficient small crossovers. While still in its first generation the model continues to gain traction across international markets through its competitive pricing and comprehensive eight-year warranty.
