The Canadian Jaecoo ET is adapted from the Exeed ET, sold internationally as the Exlantix ET. The Car Guide reports that it is planned for Chery’s Omoda and Jaecoo launch in Canada in early 2027, later than the company’s previous target of late 2026. The delay is attributed to extra cold-weather adaptation and regulatory-certification work. Spain is on a different schedule, with Exlantix due to begin sales in the first half of 2027.
Exlantix has named the ES saloon and ET SUV as its first electric models for Spain. The brand is intended to sit above Omoda and Jaecoo, and no Jaecoo-badged version has been announced for Spain. Chery has also put the Freelander 8 on its Spanish roadmap, as covered in this Freelander 8 report. In Canada, the ET is expected to be one of Chery’s first three models. The rollout will introduce both Omoda and Jaecoo before further products follow.
At 4.98 metres long with a three-metre wheelbase, the ET is larger than the Tesla Model Y and is designed to seat five occupants. Canadian-market reports describe it as a five-seat electric crossover based on Chery’s EOX platform. Its cabin includes Nappa leather and heated seats with massage functions in both rows. The specified equipment also includes an electrochromic panoramic roof and a 23-speaker sound system rated at 2,140 watts.
Canada-specific equipment is designed for cold weather. The SUV gets conventional door handles and a heated windscreen, while its charging-port cover is designed to resist ice build-up. Chery’s schedule change has also been linked to extra cold-weather preparation and certification work.
The Canadian configuration is expected to use two electric motors and all-wheel drive, producing around 353 kW (480 CV), or a reported 473 horsepower and 483 lb-ft of torque. Reports describe a 100 kWh lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt battery. The preliminary range estimate is about 525 km under the WLTP cycle. An EPA estimate of around 410 km has also been reported, with certification work still underway. The 800-volt architecture supports fast charging at up to 290 kW, and the Canadian version is expected to use a CCS1 charging port. Battery preconditioning is intended to help in cold conditions.
Canadian media estimates put the price at the equivalent of €40,000-€45,000, but Chery has not announced an official figure. The launch remains subject to regulatory approvals and falls under Canada’s import-permit quota framework for Chinese-made electric vehicles. That estimate is not a Spanish price. The company has yet to confirm whether it will use the Jaecoo name for the model in Spain.
