Jaecoo 5 / E5 interior, price, specs and trims UK

The Jaecoo 5 interior is built around a 13.2-inch portrait touchscreen and 35 storage spaces, and the electric E5 costs £27,505 as the Pure or £30,505 as the Luxury in November 2026. The Luxury’s extra £3,000 buys comfort rather than range: powered, heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic roof, Sony audio and a powered tailgate.

This page goes through the trims, cabin, options, dimensions and finance in detail; our Jaecoo 5 / E5 review has the full verdict on how it drives and what it costs to run. EV Compared has not driven the car, so everything here comes from Jaecoo’s published data and the UK reviews named below.

How much does each Jaecoo E5 trim cost?

The E5 Pure is £27,505 and the E5 Luxury £30,505 on the road, on Jaecoo’s UK price list checked on 10 November 2026. Both prices include £500 for delivery and £65 for vehicle excise duty and the first registration fee.

	E5 Pure	E5 Luxury
Basic price before VAT	£22,450	£24,950
VAT at 20%	£4,490	£4,990
Delivery	£500	£500
VED and first registration fee	£65	£65
On-the-road price	£27,505	£30,505
Usable battery	58.9 kWh	58.9 kWh
WLTP range	248 miles	248 miles
Power and 0 to 62mph	155 kW, 7.7 seconds	155 kW, 7.7 seconds
Kerb weight	1,690 kg	1,710 kg
List price per mile of WLTP range (EV Compared)	£111	£123

The last row is our own figure: on-the-road price divided by WLTP range, as explained in our methodology. Neither trim qualifies for the government’s Electric Car Grant, which takes up to £3,750 or £1,500 off eligible cars, so the dealer price carries no grant discount.

Our guide to Jaecoo explains who makes the brand and where the E5 sits in its range.

What is the Jaecoo 5 interior like?

The cabin is minimalist: a 13.2-inch portrait central touchscreen, an 8.8-inch driver’s display and very few physical buttons. Jaecoo says the main screen runs on a Snapdragon processor, and both trims get connected satellite navigation, DAB radio, voice control, over-the-air updates and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

That screen does most of the work. Auto Express’s Max Adams and Shane Wilkinson describe “a total lack of proper buttons”, and say the display is “well laid out, although it doesn’t always respond to the first prod of a finger”. Carwow’s testers found it “impressively quick and responsive”. What Car?’s Oliver Young points out that only the drive modes and hazard lights have physical buttons, and that the temperature shortcuts at the bottom of the screen vanish while smartphone mirroring is running until you swipe up. If you plan to live in your phone’s apps, our comparison of Apple CarPlay and built-in EV software explains the trade-offs.

Quality is judged fair for the money. Auto Express found “quality in the eyeline is good, but lower down, the glovebox and door bins betray the lower-cost reality”. What Car? found plenty of soft-touch surfaces with hard plastics kept low, calling it “not bad for the class and price”, and Carwow reached a similar view.

The driving position is high. Carwow says “the seat is quite high even in its lowest setting”, and Auto Express calls it “perhaps a tad higher than we’d like”. What Car?’s review found the steering wheel did not reach far enough towards the driver, though it praised the visibility through the large windows. Jaecoo fits a four-way adjustable synthetic leather steering wheel on both trims.

For bits and bobs, Jaecoo counts 35 storage spaces, including a front armrest with storage inside, and Carwow rates the cabin storage as excellent. Auto Express’s one complaint is that “a larger glovebox wouldn’t have gone amiss”.

How much room is there in the back?

The reviews disagree on rear legroom. Auto Express says two six-foot adults can sit behind equally tall front passengers, which “not many cars in this segment can boast”. What Car? found a six-footer’s knees would likely touch the seat in front, and Carwow calls rear space “adequate but not as roomy as the MG S5 EV”, with a slightly high floor.

Both trims have four ISOFIX points, rear reading lights, a rear USB socket and a second-row air vent from the two-zone climate control. The Luxury adds a rear armrest with a cupholder.

How big is the Jaecoo 5 boot?

The Jaecoo 5 boot holds 480 litres with the rear seats up and 1,180 litres with them folded. What Car? found plenty of underfloor storage and a 35-litre front boot under the bonnet, and was surprised that the E5’s boot is only 20 litres smaller than that of the larger Jaecoo 7.

The rear backrests split 60/40 and fold flat on both trims, and both have a vehicle-to-load socket in the boot for running electrical equipment from the battery. The Luxury adds a powered tailgate, a 12V socket in the boot and a load-bearing roof rack in place of the Pure’s non-load-bearing one.

Pure vs Luxury: what does the extra £3,000 buy?

The Luxury adds comfort and convenience kit; range, power, charging and the screens are identical. Here is every difference on Jaecoo’s equipment list.

Feature	E5 Pure	E5 Luxury
Headlights	Halogen	LED
Roof	Standard	Panoramic glass roof with powered sunshade
Seats	Cloth, six-way manual	Synthetic leather, six-way powered
Front seat heating and ventilation	No	Yes
Steering wheel	Synthetic leather	Heated synthetic leather
Audio	Six speakers	Sony, eight speakers
Wireless phone charging	No	50W, cooled
Ambient lighting	No	Multi-colour
Dashboard and doors	Standard	Soft-upholstered dashboard, leather door guards
Tailgate	Manual	Powered
Roof rack	Non-load-bearing	Load-bearing
Vanity mirrors	Standard	Illuminated

The Pure is far from bare. It already has 18-inch alloys, a 540-degree camera view, front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot detection, keyless entry and start, heated door mirrors and pet-friendly upholstery.

On our figures the Pure costs £111 of list price per mile of WLTP range and the Luxury £123. That £12 a mile is the price of comfort alone, since both go 248 miles, and running costs do not change either: both cost 1.5p a mile charged at home on a 6.5p/kWh off-peak tariff. Auto Express names the E5 Pure the pick of the range; What Car? recommends the Luxury. Choose the Luxury if you do long winter commutes and will use the heated seats and wheel; otherwise the Pure gives you the same car for less.

What options and colours can you add?

Jaecoo’s model page lists five colours, Granite White, Zircon Grey, Basalt Black, Copper Green and Lazuli Blue, without prices. Carwow’s E5 colour list on 10 November 2026 shows Granite White as free and the other four at £600 each, which would make a coloured Luxury £31,105. Jaecoo’s own contract hire offer states that it excludes metallic paint.

Jaecoo’s accessories page lists a genuine Jaecoo 5 towbar, floor mats, boot liners and Adventure Pack, plus aluminium roof cross bars and a vehicle-to-load cable, but publishes no prices for them. The braked towing limit is 1,250 kg and the unbraked limit 750 kg.

How does the E5 compare with its rivals on price and specs?

The E5 Pure is the lowest-priced car in this group, and the only electric one here under £30,000. Every electric rival charges faster and goes further on the WLTP test, but none of them has a bigger boot.

Car	List price (Nov 2026)	WLTP range (electric range for plug-in hybrids)	Peak DC charging	Boot
Jaecoo E5 Pure (electric)	£27,505	248 miles	80 kW	480 litres
Geely Starray EM-i Pro (plug-in hybrid)	£29,990	51 miles	30 kW	528 litres
Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid Aspire (plug-in hybrid)	£29,995	56 miles	40 kW	565 litres
Geely EX5 SE (electric)	£31,990	267 miles	120 kW	461 litres
Omoda 7 SHS-P Knight (plug-in hybrid)	£32,005	56 miles	40 kW	590 litres
Leapmotor B10 67.1 kWh (electric)	£32,495	270 miles	168 kW	430 litres
Omoda E5 Knight (electric)	£33,065	267 miles	130 kW	370 litres

Even the E5 Luxury, at £123 per mile of WLTP range, sits close to the Geely EX5 and Leapmotor B10 at £120 each, while the Pure undercuts them all. The Omoda E5 has the same 155 kW output and 58.9 kWh usable battery as the Jaecoo, but a 370-litre boot.

For a trim-by-trim check against the Jaecoo, our Omoda E5 price and specs page lists its versions and equipment.

Which Jaecoo E5 should you buy?

Buy the E5 Pure if you want the most car for the money: the same range, screens, safety kit, cameras and 480-litre boot as the Luxury for £27,505. Step up to the £30,505 Luxury only if heated and ventilated powered seats, a glass roof and better audio matter to you every day, because it adds nothing to range or charging.

The E5 suits families and dog owners who charge at home and want space and equipment on a budget. It suits less well drivers who want physical climate controls, taller drivers who like to sit low, and anyone who needs adults in the back on long trips, where reviewers disagree on legroom. This verdict rests on Jaecoo’s published data and the UK reviews cited above.
