The Jaecoo J5 was officially unveiled in China, with reports from Chinese Cars noting its distinctive design cues. The compact crossover showcases a signature grille, slim LED headlights, a large spoiler on the tailgate, and parking sensors. Exhaust outlets are concealed behind the bumper, and an AWD badge on the tailgate confirms four‑wheel drive. Inside, the J5 features a vertical touchscreen and eco‑leather seating for five, delivering a practical and modern cabin that aims to satisfy everyday needs in busy urban environments.
Full measurements place the J5 at 4380 x 1860 x 1650 mm with a wheelbase of 2620 mm. It sits 120 mm shorter, 5 mm narrower, and 30 mm lower than the J7 variant. Luggage capacity stands at 480 liters, providing a useful amount of cargo space for daily use and weekend getaways. The vehicle is also earmarked for the Russian market in 2025, signaling a broader regional rollout that aligns with shifting crossovers demand across Europe and North America.
Under the hood, the Jaecoo J5 is powered by a 1.6‑liter engine delivering 197 horsepower. This setup emphasizes the balance between urban efficiency and sufficient performance for highway merging and overtaking, making the J5 a viable option for drivers seeking a compact crossover with confident everyday capability.
In a related development, Nissan introduced its new Murano generation, a model that has long appealed to shoppers seeking comfort and technology in a midsize crossover. The latest Murano features ventilated and massage seats, along with a color head‑up display and interior lighting capable of emitting 64 color tones, underscoring a focus on cabin atmosphere and passenger comfort.
Power for the Murano comes from a 2.0‑liter turbocharged engine producing 241 horsepower, paired with a nine‑speed automatic transmission and the choice of front‑wheel drive or all‑wheel drive. A notable update is the move to fewer traditional knobs and buttons inside the cabin, with climate controls implemented on a dedicated touch panel to create a cleaner, more modern dashboard. The most premium version adds a central airbag deploying between the front seats, while the rear doors open wider than before to ease entry and child‑seat installation for families on the go.
Earlier discussions in Russia have highlighted the features of the GAC M8 minivan, reflecting ongoing interest in multi‑purpose vehicles. This interest mirrors a broader market trend toward versatile family vehicles that can accommodate daily life, weekend trips, and everything in between, a pattern that resonates with buyers across Canada and the United States who value space, safety, and practical technologies in their vehicles.
