NawaTimes.com – January 12, 2026 – Jaecoo has entered Pakistan’s hybrid SUV market with the launch of its J5 HEV, a locally assembled subcompact model that brings strong performance and modern features at competitive prices.
The announcement came on January 11, 2026, through Nexgen Auto (a Nishat Group subsidiary), which handles the brand in the country. This move follows the earlier success of models like the Jaecoo J7 and aims to appeal to buyers looking for fuel-efficient SUVs without high costs.

Bookings require an advance payment of Rs 1,500,000. Deliveries of the first locally assembled units will start in February 2026.
These figures position the J5 HEV close to the price of popular sedans like the Toyota Corolla Altis, while offering hybrid technology and SUV practicality.
