Psst . . . Wanna buy an EV? A cheap EV?
At the moment you can get your hands on a new Jaecoo J5 for as little as $36,990.
That’s a driveaway price and includes on-road costs and a free upgrade to premium paint.
In addition to this, the offer also includes the option of a black interior.
It’s first in best dressed with the launch deal for the car extended from 1000 to 2000 units.
The five-seat J5 Summit acts as the entry point to the Jaecoo range, sitting below the midsize J7 and large J8.
It’s powered by a single electric motor that delivers 155kW of power and 288Nm of torque, with drive to the front wheels.
The dash from 0-100km/h takes 7.7 seconds and with claimed energy consumption of 14.3 Wh/100km, it has a range from a single charge of 402km (WLTP).
Charging using a commercial DC fast charger adds 30-80 per cent in as little as 28 minutes.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in pet-friendly synthetic leather made of a special silicone-based material, which is antibacterial and wear-resistant.
The range will expand later in the year with the arrival of petrol and hybrid variants.
J5 comes with an 8-year unlimited kilometre warranty, plus 8-year unlimited kilometre high voltage battery warranty and eight years of capped priced servicing.
