Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia has officially launched the 2026 Jaecoo J5 SUV for the local market, with an introductory retail price of RM102,000.
This special pricing is valid from March 5 to March 15, 2026, after which the vehicle will be priced at RM108,000.
As a B-segment SUV, the Jaecoo J5 is positioned as a more compact alternative to the existing Jaecoo J7 SUV.
Jaecoo J5 Specifications
The model is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, capable of producing 147 PS and 210 Nm of torque.
Power is delivered to the front wheels through a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The vehicle’s fuel consumption is rated at approximately 6.4 liters per 100 km.
In terms of dimensions, the Jaecoo J5 measures 4,380 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width, and 1,650 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,620 mm.
Among its competitors in the B-segment SUV category, the J5 shares a similar length with the Proton X50 but is slightly shorter than the Chery Omoda 5, Chery Tiggo Cross, and Honda HR-V.
However, the J5 boasts a longer wheelbase, contributing to a more spacious cabin.
The J5 offers a cargo capacity of 480 liters, which expands to 1,180 liters when the 60:40 split-folding second-row seats are stowed.
Unique to its segment, the Jaecoo J5 features MacPherson strut suspension at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear.
By comparison, most of its rivals in the B-segment SUV category utilize a simpler torsion beam configuration.
Exterior and Interior Features
In line with other Jaecoo models, the J5 features a premium exterior design inspired by British SUV brands.
To enhance its stylish image, it is equipped with 18-inch wheels wrapped in 235/55 R18 tires.
Other notable exterior features include a single-housing headlight and daytime running light setup, a prominent grille, conventional door handles, a powered tailgate, and a rear spoiler.
The cabin is equipped with an 8-inch LCD instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch 2K resolution central infotainment screen.
The system supports WiFi, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, complemented by an 8-speaker audio system.
