Join Nicki as she takes the brand-new Jaecoo E5 out for a first drive to see if the latest Chinese electric SUV to land in the UK is the real deal — or just another copycat. With its rather familiar design the Jaecoo 5 looks like it’s aiming straight at cars like the Range Rover Evoque and Audi Q4 e-tron. But can it deliver the same quality and refinement, or does it fall short once you scratch beneath the surface?
Join Nicki as she dives into the design, tech, performance, and value of this newcomer to the UK EV market. Could this be the surprise hit of 2025, or just déjà vu with a different badge?

0:00 – The £27K Electric Range Rover?
Meet the JAECOO 5 EV – the Chinese EV that looks suspiciously familiar…
0:22 – Who on Earth is JAECOO?
A quick intro to the brand behind the E5, its UK arrival, and that Range Rover déjà vu.
0:54 – Inspired or Imitated?
When “design inspiration” crosses into copycat territory — you decide.
1:10 – The Big Sell: Price & Rivals
From just ÂŁ27,500, this electric SUV takes on the Ford Puma, Renault 4 and MG S5.
1:29 – Inside the E5: First Impressions
Surprisingly plush cabin, reclining seats and the biggest portrait screen in its class.
2:10 – Tech & Infotainment
Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wireless charging and a massive 13.2-inch display.
3:01 – Cabin Quality & Comfort
Ventilated seats, wood trim, decent materials… plus a little too much piano black.
3:41 – Luxury Spec Highlights (£3K Upgrade)
Panoramic roof, ambient lighting, heated everything, Sony speakers and even Pet Mode.
4:44 – Karaoke Mode (Yes, Really)
Built-in karaoke system with bonnet speakers.
5:07 – Space & Practicality
Good headroom, panoramic glass roof, ISOFIX seats – but legroom’s tight in the back.
6:09 – Boot & Battery
480L of luggage space and a 61.1 kWh LFP battery delivering up to 248 miles of range.
6:48 – On the Road: First Drive
204 hp, 7.7 s to 62 mph – brisk, agile, but with firm suspension.
7:28 – The Ride & Regen Reality
Hard ride, unpredictable regen braking and the not-so-silent “silent glass.”
9:40 – Used EV Plug
Browse electrifying.com’s used EV marketplace for great deals and battery warranty info.
10:01 – Driving Verdict
Not for enthusiasts, but smooth enough for daily drivers who want value over thrills.
10:52 – Efficiency & Charging
3.6 mi/kWh efficiency, 80 kW DC max – average charging speeds vs faster rivals.
11:20 – Fake Range Rover or Smart Buy?
Zara bag or Hermès bag? Nicki’s analogy sums up the E5’s identity crisis perfectly.
12:22 – Verdict: Bargain or Copycat?
Unbeatable price, good range, solid spec – just don’t expect Range Rover polish.
12:58 – Final Thoughts
Test it, compare it, and if you’re not bothered by dynamics – enjoy saving £75K.
