The SUV, equipped with front-wheel drive (FWD), comes with three drive modes—Normal, Eco, and Sport—serving the needs of diverse driving preferences and city scenarios.

    The test drive route was a testament to the J5’s attractive look and practicality as a city SUV. What really stands out in its performance is the independent suspension system, promising a bump-free ride smooth ride, while the 540° panoramic imaging system provides great visibility around tight corners and narrow lanes, giving that extra confidence and safety to the drivers.

    Impressive Cabin

    The cabin of the J5 is an excellent place to be in, as the multisensory experience awaits you with karaoke mode, a noise-cancelling microphone, and a powerful SONY sound system with eight speakers, for an outstanding entertainment experience. During a break, the participants also received an impromptu karaoke session, showcasing the vehicle’s mission to make every journey a real pleasure and delightful.

    Practicality and utility are other strong points of the SUV, which was on display with a spacious trunk designed to fit all kinds of luggage, camping gear, or shopping. The hands-free electric tailgate, operable by a foot gesture under the bumper, gives an extra convenience and elegance.

    Giving an experience beyond just driving, an outdoor gathering showcased the J5’s camping-ready ecosystem. This includes detachable magnetic LED lights, smart gear storage, strong storage capacity, and rooftop load capability, giving a glimpse of the SUV’s readiness for outdoor adventures, an attractive proposition to families, explorers, and urban residents, looking forward to weekend trips.

    With its imposing road presence, excellent musical ambience, and connection to nature, the JAECOO J5 made an irresistible statement at the Dubai event. JAECOO has positioned itself as more than just a vehicle; it represents the growing aspirations of a new generation of urban car users. 

    The brand is geared up to officially launch the J5 in Dubai next month, to become a dynamic, lifestyle-driven SUV designed in the Emirates markets, offering a choice for customers to express freedom, joy, and individuality.
