Jaecoo J5 Vietnam Launch Brings ICE, Hybrid and EV Options

Jaecoo J5 Launches With Three Powertrain Options

On August 14, 2026, Omoda & Jaecoo Vietnam officially announced the launch of the Jaecoo J5 in Vietnam, expanding the model with gasoline, Super Hybrid System (SHS-H), and battery-electric powertrains across four variants. The J5 also becomes the first model assembled at the company's factory in Hung Yen, marking an important step in its local manufacturing operations. For the first 555 customers through August 31, introductory prices are set at VND 499 million for the J5 Premium with ICE power, while the J5 SHS-H Premium and J5 EV Flagship are priced at VND 599 million. The J5 SHS-H Flagship is offered at VND 669 million.

Jaecoo J5 Powertrain Specifications

The gasoline-powered J5 Premium uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine producing 145 hp and 210 Nm of torque. The SHS-H versions combine the same 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 221 hp and a claimed NEDC combined driving range of approximately 1,000 km. The J5 EV Flagship uses a 208-hp electric motor generating 288 Nm of torque, with a claimed driving range of 461 km per charge. The electric variant also supports 130-kW DC fast charging, giving buyers a higher-power charging capability alongside the fully electric drivetrain.

Dimensions And Local Production

The Jaecoo J5 measures 4,380 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width and 1,650 mm in height, with a 2,620-mm wheelbase. These dimensions position the model as a compact passenger vehicle while providing a common vehicle platform across its different powertrain configurations. Its introduction is also significant for Vietnam because the J5 is the first model assembled at the company's manufacturing facility in Hung Yen. Local assembly adds a production dimension to the launch and supports the company's broader strategy for establishing its vehicle operations within the Vietnamese market.

O&J Connect Expands Digital And Charging Services

Alongside the vehicle launch, Omoda & Jaecoo Vietnam introduced the O&J Connect application, which initially provides users with public charging-station search and charging-status tracking functions. Charging and payment capabilities are expected to be added from September 2026, expanding the application's role within the EV ownership experience. The company also plans to introduce vehicle management and service-related functions in 2027. The staged rollout indicates that the digital platform is intended to develop beyond charging information into a broader connected-service ecosystem supporting vehicle ownership and after-sales interactions.

Jaecoo J5 Pricing And Market Position

The introductory pricing gives customers multiple powertrain choices at different price points while maintaining a common J5 model identity. The J5 Premium ICE starts at VND 499 million for the first 555 customers, while the J5 SHS-H Premium and J5 EV Flagship are both priced at VND 599 million during the promotional period. The SHS-H Flagship is positioned at VND 669 million. With gasoline, hybrid and battery-electric versions offered together, the J5 provides buyers in Vietnam with alternatives based on driving range, charging requirements and powertrain preference rather than restricting the model to a single propulsion technology.
