Jaecoo J5 EV launched in Malaysia at RM118,800

Jaecoo Auto Malaysia launched the J5 EV on 2 September 2026 at RM118,800 on-the-road without insurance, RM6,200 below the RM125,000 estimate given when bookings opened in July. It is the brand's first fully electric model in Malaysia, locally assembled in Shah Alam, with a 58.9 kWh battery, 461 km NEDC range and a 7-year, 150,000 km vehicle warranty. The first 1,000 customers who register by 31 October 2026 receive a launch package worth RM10,000.

The Jaecoo J5 EV is the electric version of the compact SUV that has been the brand's fastest seller since March, and it arrives with a sharper price than expected. At RM118,800 it is RM10,800 more than the petrol J5, and because it is assembled locally it keeps the full duty exemptions that fully imported EVs lost at the start of the year.

What warranty comes with a new Jaecoo?

Every new Jaecoo and Omoda comes with a 7-year or 150,000 km manufacturer warranty, whichever comes first. Plug-in hybrid and EV models add a separate 10-year or 200,000 km warranty on the high-voltage battery.

Are Jaecoo vehicles assembled in Malaysia?

Yes. All models are locally assembled (CKD) at a state-of-the-art facility in Shah Alam, Selangor, which means competitive pricing, faster delivery and strong parts availability nationwide.
