Chery International has just confirmed an all-new Jaecoo J5 model for 2025. Set to form the premium brand’s smallest offering, it will slot in right under the upcoming J6 EV.
Unlike the electric-only J6, however, the new J5 will be built in both HEV (petrol hybrid) and pure EV forms. The image given shows a crossover with similar styling to the J7, but with even more resemblance to the latest monolithic Range Rover designs.
Given that the J6 is already relatively compact at around 4,400 mm long, the J5 being a size smaller would bring it closer to the BYD Dolphin and MG4 class, albeit with a taller SUV body and a pseudo-premium badge. If priced attractively, the stylish J5 should be fairly popular among the young and trendy.
Well, that’s assuming it will make its way into Malaysia, of course. But considering Chery International’s recent track record of bringing everything it has to our local market – and quickly, at that – it’s pretty much a shoe-in that the Jaecoo J5 will eventually arrive back home too.
At the opposite end of the Jaecoo range, a new J9 flagship model has been announced too. Not much in the way of details for this one other than that it will be made in plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and EV forms. Busy years ahead for the fledgling premium brand, then!

They are dumping all their craps here. What benefits do the country get with this deal?
We’ll have more scrap metal supplies than we need. Good for our steel industry
Just look at all the uncensored news on China and the postings on their social media. China car companies are sucking eggs in China. Sales flatlined or going down. Widespread quality and safety problems. China car buyers themselves are pivoting back towards China-Japan and China -Europe JV products such as China versions of Hondas, Volkswagens, BMWs, etc.
So now the domestic car companies are dumping their substandard junk at suckers in Southeast Asia and Latin America.
Chinese brands only appeal to poor mofos and B40s
