Overview
- Jaecoo opened orders in Germany in mid‑July, offering two trims: Select from €27,900 and Exclusive from €30,900.
- The 5 HEV is a self‑charging full hybrid that combines a 1.5‑litre turbo petrol engine and a front‑axle electric motor for a system output of 165 kW (224 PS), a 1.83 kWh battery, WLTP consumption of 5.3 L/100 km, 0–100 km/h in 7.9 seconds and a 175 km/h top speed.
- Standard digital and comfort kit include a 13.2‑inch central display, an 8.9‑inch instrument cluster driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and a 1.45 m² panoramic glass roof.
- Jaecoo is building a German dealer network and promises a central spare‑parts warehouse in Rhineland‑Palatinate with Kühne + Nagel aiming for 24‑hour parts delivery alongside a seven‑year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and an eight‑year/160,000 km battery warranty.
- The launch reflects a wider Chinese strategy of selling well‑equipped, low‑cost hybrids in Europe to challenge budget players such as the Dacia Duster while trading all‑wheel drive and a larger plug‑in battery for lower prices and simpler self‑charging packaging.
