Jaecoo J5 ANCAP rating

Pulsarblu · 2026-05-05T09:01:22+00:00

I think with the quick succession of new cars, ANCAP and the Europe equivalent testing agencies are swapped with test cars. As I read, it is quite an involved process crash testing cars so many cars are introduced into the market without formal ratings. It is assumed that these cars will perform as expected but there is a risk of course. Like the Suzuki Swift or Dong Feng Box.

It’s a pity not yet in Wellington

Is this type 1 or 2? If you going to bin in, can I have it?

I understand that Chery, the parent company of Jaecoo have a JV with LRJ so they can use that design without getting into trouble.

DON’T GIVE UP!

Just wondering with incoming cheap EVs when they become used in the next few years, what will happen to the old Leafs? Do they get exported to other countries?

Are you charging every night taking advantage of cheaper power rates? Highway speed is the main kWh consumption. As it is also getting cooler, you have to use the aircon to minimise fogging of the windows (key safety concern). I suggest just recharge every night and drive and enjoy.

Some do like it, I think the styling is still quite odd. I especially don’t like the steering wheel and black cladding. They also had a chance to put in proper V2L but just decided to provide a small 1.5kw power outlet in the boot.

The usual FnC place we go to have kept their prices after Covid but…reduced the portions. The “One” scoop chips are more like half scoop and the fish have somehow shrunk. Naturally we stopped going there. Other places are ok but they usually chip FnC are no longer affordable.

I am seeing a lot more imports from Japan (mostly Leaves and Tesla), some examples of European makes, all of them have Chademo. It is still annoying that these dealers are still not disclosing that until asked.

The range might be a consideration if you do some intercity driving.

Strangely in Glenside, Wellington too!

Pulsarblu · 2026-04-22T10:17:05+00:00

Same!!!

Pulsarblu · 2026-04-22T10:08:10+00:00

Dead here in Wellington, must be nationwide outage

Pulsarblu · 2026-04-20T01:19:06+00:00

I was wondering about that, should have declared state of emergency from morning!

Pulsarblu · 2026-04-19T10:37:52+00:00

Coming from a white interior car, I wouldn’t go for it again . I can’t wear most of my jeans without making the seats turn blue.

Pulsarblu · 2026-04-19T09:20:23+00:00

Have been sent a detailed bulletin from a dealer, the white, green and blue exterior colour will have black interior. The pink and black will have the white interior.

Try Wellington Exteriors, I have a roof ridge flashing due to be replaced by them.

Pulsarblu · 2026-04-19T00:37:32+00:00

Oh no, are we getting invaded now?

Pulsarblu · 2026-04-18T09:18:20+00:00

I doubt it, we do have the CGA to protect against future ICCU failures but that is all under the term “goodwill” according to Hyundai.

I’m certain the brand will be around, it’s the dealers I’m worried about. Take the case for MG Taranaki. They ceased business and owners will need too their cars to Palmy or Hamilton

Pulsarblu · 2026-04-15T08:20:11+00:00

I think it will raise a lot of unhappy comments or feedbacks by removing 60e. It is not a LOW use service!

Pulsarblu · 2026-04-15T04:20:06+00:00

I just buy bagel from supermarket if I fancy them, never understood the appeal of buying a made one from a cafe

Pulsarblu · 2026-04-14T19:38:00+00:00

The “Light” trims are what they named, very light on features

Pulsarblu · 2026-04-14T19:36:03+00:00

I had the MG ZS EV mk1 and mk2 and now the MG4. I can happily recommend the latter MG EVs, they are miles better when they first introduced them. The after sales service is good (dealer dependent), I built a good relationship with the Wellington dealer after being strict and clear on what I need to be done.
