By Pakistan’s electric vehicle market is gearing up for another major addition as the all-new JAECOO J5 EV prepares for its official price announcement on 6 November 2026. The fully electric SUV has attracted considerable attention since its appearance at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) 2026, and its arrival marks another important step towards locally assembled electric vehicles in Pakistan.
With an impressive claimed driving range of up to 461 kilometres, 207.8 horsepower and a feature-packed interior, the JAECOO J5 EV is expected to attract buyers looking for a modern electric SUV for everyday commuting and longer journeys.
The vehicle is being assembled locally in Pakistan, making it particularly significant for the country’s growing automotive and electric mobility industry.
JAECOO J5 EV Specifications and Features
The JAECOO J5 EV combines electric performance with practical features designed for modern family use. Its powertrain and technology package make it an interesting addition to Pakistan’s emerging electric SUV segment.
Key specifications and highlights include:
- Motor Power: 207.8 HP electric motor.
- Driving Range: Up to 461 kilometres on a single charge (claimed).
- Battery Capacity: 58.9 kWh.
- Torque: 288 Nm.
- Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive.
- Battery Warranty: Up to 8 years, as announced in the launch information.
- Charging: Supports home AC charging and high-speed DC fast charging.
The vehicle also offers several premium comfort and convenience features, including a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, rear AC vents and dedicated charging ports for rear passengers.
One of its notable technologies is the 540-degree camera system, which provides additional visibility around the vehicle and helps drivers navigate narrow streets, busy markets and challenging parking spaces.
Another interesting addition is the 3.3 kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function. This technology allows the vehicle’s battery to supply electricity to compatible external appliances and equipment, providing additional convenience during outdoor activities and power interruptions.
According to available international and local specification reports, the J5 EV features an 11 kW AC charging capability and up to 130 kW DC fast charging. The advertised 461 km range should be understood as a claimed figure; actual driving range will depend on driving conditions, speed, weather and air-conditioning usage.
Pakistan’s First Locally Assembled JAECOO Electric SUV
One of the biggest highlights of the JAECOO J5 EV is its local assembly in Pakistan.
The electric SUV is being assembled through the Completely Knocked Down (CKD) process at NexGen Auto’s manufacturing facility in Faisalabad. The same facility is responsible for assembling the JAECOO J5 HEV and JAECOO J7 PHEV.
The first locally assembled J5 EV unit reportedly rolled off the production line in October 2026, marking an important milestone for Pakistan’s electric vehicle industry. The company has also celebrated a 15,000-unit production milestone across its locally assembled OMODA and JAECOO vehicles. ProPakistani+2
Local assembly could provide several benefits to Pakistani customers, including improved vehicle availability, easier access to spare parts and a more established after-sales service network. It could also make the vehicle more accessible through financing arrangements offered by banks and other financial institutions.
The entry of the J5 EV also reflects the growing interest of automotive companies in Pakistan’s electric mobility sector.
OMODA & JAECOO’s Expansion in Pakistan
OMODA & JAECOO officially entered Pakistan on 1 August 2025 through NexGen Auto, backed by Nishat Group. The company’s reported investment commitment of USD 100 million supported its plans for local manufacturing, dealership expansion and the development of its automotive business.
The brands have rapidly expanded their presence in Pakistan, crossing 15,000 locally assembled units within their initial period of operations. This growing manufacturing and dealership infrastructure could play an important role in building customer confidence in electric vehicles.
JAECOO J5 EV Pre-Bookings Open in Pakistan
Customers interested in purchasing the new electric SUV can now register their interest, as pre-bookings for the JAECOO J5 BEV have opened in Pakistan.
The vehicle is also available for viewing at OMODA & JAECOO Karachi, where potential buyers can explore its exterior design, interior features and technology before making a purchase decision.
The company has scheduled the official ex-factory price announcement for Friday, 6 November 2026. The announcement is expected to provide clarity regarding the vehicle’s price, booking terms and delivery schedule.
Until the official announcement, the final retail price remains unconfirmed. Buyers should therefore wait for the company’s official price list rather than relying on unofficial estimates.
What Makes the JAECOO J5 EV Important for Pakistan?
The launch of the JAECOO J5 EV represents an important development for Pakistan’s automotive industry. With rising interest in electric vehicles, locally assembled models could help expand consumer choices and encourage greater adoption of cleaner transportation.
For Pakistani buyers, the most important considerations will be its official price, real-world driving range, charging infrastructure, battery warranty and long-term availability of spare parts.
Its combination of modern technology, family-oriented features, electric performance and local assembly could make the J5 EV an interesting option in the growing electric SUV market.
The countdown to 6 November has begun, and all eyes are now on the official JAECOO J5 EV price announcement in Pakistan.
