Jaecoo J5 Australia Launch Boosts Pakistan EV Hopes

Jaecoo is moving fast. The all-electric J5 SUV launches in Australia in January 2026. This launch boosts hopes for a quick release in the Pakistan EV market. Chery's brand, Jaecoo & Omoda, is expanding its reach. Australia's debut is often a sign of a soon-to-come Pakistan launch.

Jaecoo's Fast Moves in Pakistan

Jaecoo came to Pakistan under the Nishat Group umbrella. First, they brought two imported (CBU) electric vehicles in August.

These were the Jaecoo J6 and Omoda C5.
They were expensive because of import taxes.

Next, the company quickly changed its plan. Just two months later, in October, they launched the J7 PHEV.

This was a hybrid model, not fully electric.
The J7 was their first locally assembled vehicle.
Local assembly made the price very good. It started under Rs. 1 crore.

The price went up slightly in December to Rs. 10,499,000. But the company showed it is serious about local production.

Why Australia Matters to Pakistan

The J5's Australian launch is a big deal for Pakistani car buyers. We often see cars arrive in Pakistan around the same time as their Australian debut. It shows a planned regional rollout.

Here are examples of this pattern:

Jaecoo announced the J7 for Australia right after its Pakistan launch.
The MG U9 was shown in both countries almost together.
The Haval H6 Facelift came to Australia shortly after Pakistan.
The Suzuki Fronx launched in Australia in July. Pakistan showed the car only three months later.

The J5 will first come to Australia as a top-spec electric model called "Track." This means the car is ready for the region.

What to Expect Next

The J5 is now set for Australian roads. So, we think we will see it in Pakistan soon.

If Nishat follows its J7 plan, they will locally assemble the J5. This uses the CKD strategy (Completely Knocked Down kits).

Local assembly helps lower the final price.
A lower price will shake up the local SUV market.
It could give people a great new choice in the hybrid vehicle and EV space.
