Omoda Jaecoo J5 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The J5 takes a straightforward route: a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and CVT in a compact SUV body. Its 10.2-second 0-100 km/h time and 175 km/h top speed give it adequate published performance figures, rather than a performance-led brief. At RM108,000, it sits far above the Ativa, Aruz and Traz, but closely matches the Captur and CX-3 in price.
