The entry point into Jaecoo South Africa’s crossover/SUV lineup, the J5 is now available in our market, with the Chinese automaker’s local arm listing the three-strong model portfolio on its website – revealing pricing and specifications for the newcomer.
Positioned below the J7, the J5 is priced from R369 900 for the entry-level, Vortex variant to R479 900 for the flagship, Inferno model. Slotting in between these two derivatives, the mid-tier, Glacier is priced from R429 900. Including in the asking price are a five-year/150 000 km warranty (10-year/1 million km for the first owner) and five-year/75 000 km service plan.
The J5 measures 4 380 mm in length and 1 860 mm in width, making it slightly smaller than the Haval Jolion Pro and Toyota Corolla Cross, and similar in size as the Kia Seltos and Chery Tiggo Cross. The ground clearance is rated at 174 mm. Vortex and Glacier spec are fitted with 17-inch alloy wheels, and the Inferno with 18-inch items.
A single engine option is employed across the J5 lineup – a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder turbopetrol producing 115 kW and 230 N.m of torque, the latter available in a broad 1 750 to 4 000 r/min swathe of the rev band. Power is sent to the front axle via a CVT transmission. Jaecoo claims an average fuel consumption of 7.5 L/100 km.
As standard, all models ship with a 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, replete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and 8.0-inch digital instrumentation. Vortex and Glacier spec includes four- and six-speaker audio systems, respectively, while Inferno upgrades to an eight-speaker unit.
Vortex spec further features cloth seats, a reverse-view camera, cruise control, and halogen headlamps. Glacier upgrades to leather seats with electric adjustment for the driver’s pew, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, and LED headlamps. On top of these items, Inferno grade gains dual-zone climate control, 540-degree surround-view monitoring, wireless smartphone charging and an electrically-operated tailgate.
