Car Deal of the Day: the stylish Jaecoo E5 for just £212 a month
The Jaecoo E5 has a premium look for a bargain-basement price. It’s our Deal of the Day for 10 March.
- Stylish design; high equipment levels
- 248-mile range
- Only £211.40 a month
Chinese newcomer Jaecoo is making great waves in the UK car market, and the smallest model it offers has more than a passing resemblance to a Range Rover Sport. But, unlike the British heavyweight, the Jaecoo E5 is an all-electric SUV, and is currently available for a bargain price.
There's more to the Jaecoo E5 than being a downsized Range Rover Sport, however, because it offers an awful lot of equipment and a pretty decent electric range for less than £212 a month through the Auto Express Buy A Car service.
This three-year deal, from VIPGateway, is priced at just £211.40 a month after a £2,906.70 initial payment. That's a 12-month lump sum, but should that prove a little steep for you then you can knock this down to nine months. Do this and the initial payment is £2,412.38 with the monthly outlay coming in at a still-very-reasonable £226.94.
With the 12-month initial payment, mileage is capped at 5,000 a year, but if you need a large allowance then, surprise surprise, you won't be hit hard. This deal can be revised to 8,000 miles a year for just an extra £10.55 a month.
In terms of size, the E5 sits somewhere between a Nissan Juke and its larger brother, the Qashqai, and uses a 61.1kWh battery pack. This gives the E5 a claimed range of 248 miles, which is more than a Ford Puma Gen-E and Renault 4, and not that far off cars such as the Kia EV3. Maximum charging speeds are a little slow at 80kW, but the Jaecoo does get V2L (vehicle-to-load) capability as standard.
While it might not be the most sophisticated to drive, the E5 is comfortable and quiet, plus it boasts plenty of standard equipment. This Pure model gets a 13.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 18-inch alloys, and a 540-degree parking camera, and the interior quality feels good.
More than that, the E5 is a very roomy car. There's plenty of space in the back seats, and the boot capacity, at 480 litres, is only really trumped by the Ford Puma Gen-E, and that's because of its clever underfloor ‘MegaBox’.
