Jaecoo has officially introduced the all-electric J5 EV in Indonesia, signalling another major step in the brand’s regional expansion within Southeast Asia’s fast-growing EV market. The SUV is offered in two trims — the Standard, priced at 249.9 million rupiah (around RM63,000), and the Premium, at 299.9 million rupiah (around RM75,000). These launch prices are exclusive to the first 1,000 buyers, making the J5 EV one of the most accessible electric SUVs in the segment.
Both variants share a similar powertrain setup, featuring a front-mounted electric motor that produces 211 PS and 288 Nm of torque, powered by a 60.9 kWh battery pack. With this configuration, the J5 EV can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.7 seconds and offers an impressive driving range of up to 461 km based on the NEDC cycle.
Charging performance is equally noteworthy, with support for DC fast charging at up to 130 kW, enabling a 30% to 80% recharge in 28 minutes. For added practicality, Jaecoo has also included vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability, allowing the SUV to supply up to 3.3 kW of power to external devices — a handy feature for camping trips or emergencies.
Inside, the J5 EV’s cabin combines functionality and sophistication, offering a premium feel without breaking the bank. Key features include 18-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic glass roof with a powered sunshade, a powered tailgate, and ventilated front seats wrapped in synthetic leather.
The dashboard is dominated by a 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen, complemented by an eight-inch digital instrument cluster, 64-colour ambient lighting, eight speakers, a 50-watt wireless charger, and built-in telematics connectivity.
Safety remains a strong focus for Jaecoo, with the J5 EV equipped with six airbags and a comprehensive ADAS suite featuring 17 active safety systems. These include autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, and blind spot monitoring, among others, ensuring the SUV delivers both reassurance and confidence on the road.
Available in Forest Green, Jet Black, Pristine White, and Ivory Grey, the J5 EV also comes with a generous ownership package. Buyers will enjoy a six-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and an eight-year/160,000 km battery warranty, alongside four years or 60,000 km of free labour service, one-year telematics subscription, roadside assistance, and a two-year pick-up and drop-off service.
Dimensionally, the J5 EV measures 4,380 mm long, 1,860 mm wide, and 1,650 mm tall, with a 2,620 mm wheelbase. This places it squarely within the compact SUV segment, competing against familiar names like the Honda HR-V, Proton X50, and Chery Tiggo Cross.
