J5 EV in 2026 — what's new

The Omoda Jaecoo J5 EV is a new-for-2026 model, launched in Malaysia in September as the first-generation Mk1. The current range consists of one locally assembled EV variant. It uses a 58.9 kWh battery, a front-mounted 208 hp motor and single-ratio automatic transmission, driving the front wheels. Claimed range is 402 km, while the 0-100 km/h sprint takes 7.7 seconds.

Verdict

The J5 EV puts useful headline numbers into a compact electric SUV: 402 km of claimed range, 208 hp and a 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time. Its RM118,800 asking price matches the Leapmotor B10, but it costs more than the Perodua QV-E, Seres 3 and BYD Atto 2. Buyers considering it need to be satisfied with the single-variant approach rather than expecting a lower-priced entry point.
