Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia took the opportunity to showcase the upcoming Jaecoo J5 EV electric SUV at the Oh My Meow! Expo, held at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre.

The model also marks the brand’s first electric vehicle (EV) in Malaysia.

Range of up to 402 km

The Jaecoo J5 EV is powered by a single front-mounted electric motor producing 208 hp and 288 Nm of torque. Its 58.9 kWh CATL Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery pack delivers a driving range of up to 402 km (WLTP).

The J5 EV also supports DC fast charging, allowing the battery to be replenished from 30 to 80 percent state of charge (SoC) in just 28 minutes. Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality is included as well.

Equipment

Visually, the J5 EV remains largely identical to its internal combustion engine counterpart. Its suspension consists of MacPherson struts up front paired with a multi-link setup at the rear. All four corners sit on 18-inch alloy wheels.

The SUV is also equipped with double-glazed glass to help minimise cabin noise, along with a 1.45-square-metre panoramic glass roof.

Inside, the cabin features an 8.88-inch LCD instrument cluster, a 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen with 2K resolution, pet-friendly upholstery, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Smart Technology

The Jaecoo J5 EV is fitted with an Active Grille Shutter (AGS) system, which optimises airflow for improved performance and efficiency.

On the safety front, the SUV comes with Level 2+ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) encompassing 19 primary functions, supported by a 540-degree surround-view camera system.

Practicality

As standard, the Jaecoo J5 EV offers 480 litres of cargo space, expanding to 1,284 litres with the rear seats folded. There is also a 35-litre front trunk (frunk), plus 35 intelligent storage compartments located throughout the cabin.
