Nepal Mobility Expo 2025: All-new Jaecoo J5 EV Arriving Soon

Following the success of the rugged Jaecoo J6 off-road SUV, Jaecoo now sets its sights on electrifying the market with the upcoming launch of the Jaecoo J5 EV at the upcoming NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2025.

First introduced as a prototype at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2025, the J5 EV made its full debut at Auto Shanghai 2025, where the brand unveiled its complete specifications and interior for the first time.

The all-electric Jaecoo J5 EV features a redesigned front with a transparent panel and Jaecoo badge replacing the traditional grille, paired with sleek headlights and a minimalist bumper. The overall design appears to be inspired by the Range Rover Evoque, evident in design cues such as the clamshell hood, full-width taillight, and rear spoiler. However, unlike other Jaecoo models, it uses conventional door handles and visible A-pillars.

Based on the gasoline-powered J5, the electric version retains identical dimensions—4,380 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width, 1,650 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,620 mm. Designed for versatile terrain, it offers a 20-degree approach angle and a 30-degree departure angle, supported by MacPherson strut suspension in the front and a multi-link setup at the rear.

The J5 EV is powered by a 60.9 kWh battery paired with an electric motor delivering 155 kW (207 hp) and 288 Nm of torque at 18,000 rpm. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds and offers energy efficiency of 16.6 kWh per 100 km (roughly 6 km/kWh). Range estimates stand at 400 km under WLTC testing and up to 470 km under NEDC standards. The battery also supports fast charging, reaching 30% to 80% in just 27 minutes.

The J5 EV is likely to be priced below Rs 60 lakh in our market.
