Jaecoo’s new energy J5 hybrid and EV shows green can be surprising
J5 range now comprises normal petrol, hybrid and electric powertrain options.
The Jaecoo J5 has experienced a remarkable surge in popularity since its introduction as the smaller counterpart to the J7 in South Africa last year. A significant factor contributing to its success has been its decreasing price, which reached R339 900 in February for the base model. The J5's exceptional value proposition has resulted in regular sales of over 300 units per month.
Alongside the J7, the J5 now offers an energy variant, the self-charging hybrid under the Super Hybrid System (SHS) banner, making it the second fully electric model from the Chery Group to be available in South Africa.
