- The model combines a fifth-generation hybrid powertrain with ADAS, digital cockpit and long driving range.
JAECOO J5 HEV Hybrid SUV made its official debut in Pakistan, marking the brand’s entry into the country’s fast-growing electrified vehicle segment. The launch introduces a locally assembled hybrid SUV that combines advanced powertrain technology, strong fuel efficiency, and modern safety and infotainment features for Pakistani buyers.
JAECOO confirmed two variants for the new model. The J5 Comfort is priced at PKR 6.699 million, while the higher-spec J5 Premium comes in at PKR 7.699 million, positioning the hybrid SUV competitively in the mid-size SUV market.
JAECOO J5 HEV Hybrid SUV powertrain and performance
The JAECOO J5 HEV Hybrid SUV is driven by a fifth-generation 1.5TGDI dedicated hybrid engine paired with an intelligent electric motor. Together, the hybrid system produces a combined output of 221 HP and 295 Nm of torque, ensuring responsive performance across urban and highway driving conditions.
The vehicle uses a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) designed to seamlessly manage power delivery between the electric motor and the gasoline engine. This allows the SUV to shift smoothly between electric-only driving and hybrid operation without noticeable lag or vibration.
Key powertrain highlights include:
This configuration enables the J5 HEV to achieve a driving range of over 950 km, with a WLTP-rated combined fuel consumption of 5.3 liters per 100 km, making it one of the most efficient SUVs in its class.
Efficiency and driving range
With its optimized hybrid architecture, the J5 HEV is engineered for long-distance efficiency and lower fuel costs. The 1.83 kWh battery supports frequent electric-assisted driving in city conditions, while the hybrid engine ensures extended range for highway journeys without range anxiety.
This balance between electric and combustion power allows drivers to benefit from reduced emissions, better fuel economy, and consistent performance, especially in traffic-heavy urban environments common across Pakistan’s major cities.
Safety and driver assistance systems
Safety has been a core focus of the JAECOO J5 HEV. The SUV is equipped with six airbags, including dual front airbags, front side airbags, and side curtain airbags, offering comprehensive occupant protection in the event of a collision.
The vehicle also features a suite of Advanced Driver Assist Systems designed to enhance driving confidence and reduce the risk of accidents. A reinforced steel body structure combined with chassis shielding further improves crash protection and overall vehicle durability.
Major safety features include:
Interior technology and connectivity
Inside, the J5 HEV blends digital convenience with a premium user experience. Drivers get an eight-inch fully digital instrument cluster that provides clear real-time driving and vehicle data. At the center of the dashboard, a large 13.2-inch touchscreen serves as the primary interface for infotainment, navigation, and vehicle controls.
The SUV also comes equipped with a 540-degree HD panoramic camera system, offering a complete view around the vehicle to simplify parking and low-speed maneuvering in tight urban spaces.
Key interior and technology highlights include:
Local assembly in Pakistan
The JAECOO J5 HEV is assembled locally in Pakistan by NexGen Auto Pvt. Limited, a subsidiary of the Nishat Group. Local production is expected to help ensure better availability, competitive pricing, and improved after-sales support, strengthening the brand’s position in the Pakistani automotive market.
With its hybrid powertrain, strong safety package, and advanced digital features, the JAECOO J5 HEV enters the market as a compelling option for buyers looking to move toward more fuel-efficient and technologically advanced SUVs.
