Jaecoo Expands SUV Line-up with Launch of Compact J5
Jaecoo has confirmed the launch of its new compact SUV, the Jaecoo J5, in Australia in early 2026.
The J5 will offer three powertrain options: a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine, a series-parallel hybrid system, and a fully electric version with a 402 km WLTP range.
Design-wise, the J5 features strong vertical lines, wide shoulders, and the brand's distinctive waterfall grille, blending rugged off-road cues with a streamlined, modern profile.
The J5 builds on the introduction of the larger J7, targeting drivers seeking a smaller, more urban-friendly vehicle with a focus on versatility and design.
The J5 continues Jaecoo's signature aesthetic, drawing inspiration from natural landscapes.
