KUALA LUMPUR: Bookings for the Jaecoo J5 are now officially open at an estimated price of RM120,000.
The Jaecoo J5 premium compact SUV (sport utility vehicle) has a 1.5-litre turbocharged intercooled (TCI) engine that develops 147PS and 210Nm of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) automatic transmission driving the front wheels.
Inside, the Jaecoo J5 offers a driver-focused cockpit with a crisp digital instrument cluster and 13.2-inch "2K" central infotainment touchscreen.
The model also features a suite of Level 2 Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) — including Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keep Assist.
“The upcoming J5 represents our commitment to diversifying our lineup, offering a vehicle that is not only technologically advanced but also thoughtfully designed to complement the vibrant, tech-driven lifestyles of our customers,” said Omoda & Jaecoo Malaysia senior director and head Chris Tan.
Tan explained, “By combining an advanced infotainment system, best-in-class safety features, generous cabin space, and lifestyle-oriented innovations such as a pet-friendly cabin and karaoke mode, the J5 sets a new benchmark for what a premium B-segment SUV can deliver.”
Omoda & Jaecoo Malaysia had made an impactful debut in 2024, recording sales of over 7,040 vehicles within its first year.
This strong foundation accelerated sharply in 2025, with total sales surging by more than 153% year-on-year to reach 17,849 vehicles sold.
Driving this growth was the strong reception of the J7 model, with 11,522 units delivered.
In parallel, the J7 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) gained significant traction, welcoming over 3,000 customers who embraced the brand’s advanced Super Hybrid technology.
"Our strong growth in 2025 is a clear signal that Omoda & Jaecoo has moved beyond being a newcomer to become a preferred choice for Malaysian drivers," said Chery Corporate Malaysia executive vice president Men Lin Bo.
Men added, "As we head into 2026, our focus is on solidifying our presence as a local automotive mainstay."
