| CO2 emissions | 172.4Â g/kmnoteVERIFIED PUBLISHED, 28 September 2026, when the five decimal CO2 figures were checked under the CO2 ruling. JAECOO South Africa own J5 specification sheet prints CO2 to one decimal per trim: Core 172.4 g/km, Vortex, Glacier and Inferno 171.5 g/km. This record is the Core, so 172.4 is the published figure for it, not a computed one. The same sheet gives combined consumption as 7.5 L/100 km on the NEDC cycle for every trim, which does not reduce to either CO2 figure by any constant, confirming the CO2 is measured and published rather than derived. |
