The weight of the sports car is 1,450 kg, the battery with a capacity of 70 kWh allows you to travel about 400 km on a single charge, and thanks to the 800-volt architecture, you can increase the battery charge from 15 to 80% in 15 minutes.
On March 14, it was reported that the new Jaecoo J5 crossover will appear in Russian car dealerships in the summer of 2025. It will be the most compact model in the brand's lineup.
