Jaecoo Brand and J5 SUV

The Jaecoo brand is also another SUV only name within the Chery stables while it makes more premium SUVs or more crossovers vs Jetour. The Jaecoo J5 could make sense as a Creta rival being perfectly sized for this segment at 4.3m plus along with ev and petrol versions.

The Jaecoo J5 comes with various powertrains and it includes a 140bhp petrol with 7 speed dct as well as an EV version. The design is very much like a Range Rover Velar while it gets features like a 540 degree camera, panoramic sunroof and cooler seats even.

Positioning in India

This car could be a Creta rival from JSW with a healthy dose of off-road ability. The J5 is a compact SUV and mixes it's boxy lines for a proper SUV look but has plenty of technology as well.
