The weekend is here, and just in case you’re relaxing in a supine position wondering concerning the Jaecoo J5 and its attractive RM108k price tag, we’ve got you covered in our latest video review.
This B-segment SUV takes greater than just a few cues from a certain Solihull-based 4×4 brand – whether that’s bad or good relies on the way you see it. Under the bonnet is the Chery Tiggo Cross Turbo‘s blown 1.5 litre four-cylinder engine (147 PS and 210 Nm of torque), but here you get a CVT as a substitute of the Chery’s DCT. 0-100 km/h is completed in 10.2 seconds; top speed is 175 km/h.
In what could also be a primary for the Malaysian market, the J5 is marketed as a ‘pet-friendly’ vehicle (TÜV-certified, no less) – it’s got anti-bacterial and scratch-resistant faux leather upholstery with low volatile organic compounds. Accessories equivalent to nets, mats and pet carriers can be found.
Versus the Proton X50, the J5 is identical length, 65 mm wider, 41 mm taller, has a 20 mm longer wheelbase and a 150-litre greater boot. But size isn’t all the pieces… is it. So for the complete lowdown, hit Play and let Hafriz Shah take you thru the favored J7‘s adik.
