Verdict
The J5’s RM108,000 entry point puts it almost level with the Mazda CX-3 at RM107,920, below the Mitsubishi Xforce at RM109,980 and above the MG S5 at RM104,468. Its road-test figures are straightforward: 0-100 km/h takes 10.2 seconds and top speed is 175 km/h. The CVT sets it apart from the dual-clutch transmission used with the related 1.5-litre turbo engine elsewhere.
