UK MODEL GUIDE / 2 VERSIONS
The fully electric member of the 5 family. A petrol-free drive, with charging to plan around.
THE FEATURES, EXPLAINED
Understand the charging, the useful cabin technology and the Luxury extras before deciding which E5 fits your life.
10 features explained · UK specifications checked 3 October 2026
01 / Driving
A 60.9 kWh battery powers the E5 without a petrol engine. Charge at home or at a compatible public point; the everyday question is where it fits into your routine.
Swap fuel stops for charging that suits your week.
Check your realistic home, workplace and public charging options.
JAECOO quotes up to 248 miles WLTP. Real range varies with weather, speed, load and heating use.
02 / Technology
The 13.2-inch touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The separate 8.8-inch driver display keeps key driving information in front of you.
Navigation and music without a cable trailing across the console.
Connect your own phone and check that the apps you need behave as expected.
03 / Comfort
The glass panel brings more daylight into the cabin, particularly for passengers in the back. An electric blind lets you shade the interior when the sunshine gets a little too enthusiastic.
More daylight, with shade when you want it.
Try the blind from both the front and the back seats.
Fixed glass roof, not an opening sunroof. Photograph shows the shared 5-family cabin.
04 / Comfort
Luxury brings electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated front seats, plus a heated steering wheel. Pure keeps things simpler with cloth seats and manual adjustment.
Useful upgrades for chilly commutes and warm afternoons.
Find your driving position and try both heating and ventilation.
Ventilation moves air through the seat; it is not a separate refrigerated cooling system.
05 / Driving
Cameras combine views around the car to help you judge parking spaces and nearby obstacles. The “540°” name includes a simulated view beneath the car; it is not a camera that sees through the floor.
Helpful context around kerbs and parking bays.
Ask the retailer to demonstrate the available camera views.
A parking aid, not a replacement for looking around. Camera views have blind spots; dirt and poor light can reduce visibility.
06 / Driving
Adaptive cruise control can adjust your speed to help maintain a selected gap to traffic ahead. On a long motorway run, that means less constant pedal adjustment.
Less constant speed adjustment on suitable roads.
Learn how to change the following distance and cancel the system.
You remain responsible for steering, braking and watching the road. Assistance has operating limits; check the handbook.
07 / Everyday
Vehicle-to-load, or V2L, lets compatible equipment draw power from the car’s battery. Think of a useful source of electricity when you are away from a normal socket.
Useful for suitable outdoor or leisure equipment.
Ask which connection equipment is supplied and which devices the handbook permits.
Use approved equipment within the car’s limits. V2L is not permission to connect the car directly to household wiring.
08 / Everyday
The 60/40 split rear seats give you a choice between passengers and extra luggage room. JAECOO quotes a 480-litre boot, growing to 1,180 litres with the rear seats folded.
Carry everyday bags without giving up flexibility.
Test your regular luggage and check the load height.
Shared 5-family photograph; accessories are illustrative. Secure pets and luggage correctly.
09 / Technology
Luxury adds an eight-speaker Sony system and a cooled wireless charging pad rated up to 50 W. Set a compatible phone on the pad while its audio plays through the car.
Convenient charging and an audio upgrade in one trim.
Test your phone with its normal case fitted.
Phone compatibility, temperature and the device’s own limits determine actual charging power. Pure has six speakers.
10 / Everyday
Both trims include dual-zone climate control and remote cabin climate functions. Luxury adds a power tailgate for easier boot access.
A cabin temperature that suits you, with an extra convenience if you choose Luxury.
Ask the retailer to demonstrate remote climate control and explain app setup.
Power tailgate: Luxury only. Remote functions depend on setup and the applicable service conditions.
No features in this category for that version. Try another category or reset the filters.
