OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia is drawing crowds at the ongoing Oh My Meow! Expo 2026 with the first public appearance of the highly anticipated JAECOO J5 EV, marking the debut of the brand’s first fully electric vehicle in Malaysia. Ahead of its official launch, the JAECOO J5 EV represents a significant milestone in OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia’s electrification journey while offering visitors an exclusive first look at the brand’s next-generation electric SUV.

Head of OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia, Mr Chris Tan, said, “The JAECOO J5 EV marks an important milestone as OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia’s first fully electric vehicle, reflecting our commitment to expanding our electrified product portfolio while meeting the evolving needs of Malaysian consumers. It’s first public appearance at Oh My Meow! Expo 2026 allows us to introduce the J5 EV in a unique lifestyle setting that perfectly complements its pet-friendly design, intelligent technologies, and everyday practicality ahead of its official launch.”

“As we continue expanding our product portfolio, the JAECOO J5 EV demonstrates our vision of delivering smarter, more sustainable mobility solutions without compromising on comfort, versatility and the adventurous spirit that defines the JAECOO brand.”

Designed for modern lifestyles, the JAECOO J5 EV pairs everyday practicality with a spacious cabin, a 480-litre luggage compartment, and a WLTP driving range of up to 402 kilometres

Designed for urban explorers, young families and pet lovers, the JAECOO J5 EV introduces a fresh approach to electric mobility by combining contemporary styling, intelligent technology and practical versatility. As OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia’s first fully electric SUV, the J5 EV is powered by a front-mounted electric motor producing 155 kW and 288 Nm of torque, delivering smooth and responsive performance for both daily commuting and weekend adventures.

Powering the JAECOO J5 EV is a 58.9 kWh CATL Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, delivering a WLTP driving range of up to 402 KM. Designed for everyday convenience, the battery supports DC fast charging from 30% to 80% in just 28 minutes, allowing drivers to spend less time charging and more time exploring. The J5 EV also features Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, enabling owners to power compatible external electrical devices directly from the vehicle, making it an ideal companion for camping trips, outdoor activities and active lifestyles.

Beyond its electrified powertrain, the JAECOO J5 EV has been thoughtfully designed to complement modern lifestyles, especially for pet-loving families. Its spacious cabin provides greater comfort for both passengers and their furry companions, while practical storage solutions, generous luggage capacity and thoughtful interior packaging ensure every journey is comfortable and convenient.

The JAECOO J5 EV further elevates the ownership experience through a range of class-leading features centred around Technology, Comfort and Space.

A 13.2-inch portrait touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity and a pet-friendly cabin make the JAECOO J5 EV a versatile companion for every adventure

Technology That Leads

The JAECOO J5 EV incorporates intelligent technologies that enhance convenience, safety and driving confidence. Active Grille Shutter (AGS) Technology automatically optimises airflow to improve efficiency and performance, while Level 2+ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with 19 intelligent safety features provide greater confidence on every journey. Drivers also benefit from a 540° HD Surround View Camera System, offering enhanced visibility during parking and low-speed manoeuvres, while the 13.2-inch 2K central infotainment display delivers an intuitive and connected user experience.

Comfort That Inspires Confidence

Every aspect of the cabin has been designed with comfort in mind. A 1.45m² panoramic glass roof creates a bright and airy interior, while double-glazed front side windows help minimise road and wind noise for a quieter cabin. Ride quality is enhanced by a rear multi-link suspension, delivering greater stability and refinement, while dual-zone automatic climate control allows occupants to personalise their preferred cabin temperature for every journey.

Space Designed Around Your Lifestyle

Practicality remains one of the JAECOO J5 EV’s greatest strengths. The SUV features a 35-litre front trunk (frunk), providing additional storage for everyday essentials, while the 480-litre rear cargo compartment offers generous luggage capacity for family outings, shopping or pet accessories. Complementing this are 35 smart storage spaces strategically integrated throughout the cabin, ensuring every item has its place while enhancing everyday usability.

As the first automotive brand to collaborate with a cat-focused exhibition in Malaysia, OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia is bringing the JAECOO J5 EV beyond the traditional showroom to connect with consumers through a unique lifestyle experience. The collaboration reflects the brand’s commitment to designing vehicles that seamlessly integrate into modern lifestyles while catering to customers who value innovation, practicality, and memorable experiences with the people and pets that matter most.

Customers, families, pet lovers, and automotive enthusiasts are invited to visit the OMODA | JAECOO booth for an exclusive up-close look at the JAECOO J5 EV during Oh My Meow! Expo 2026, taking place from 9 to 12 July 2026 at Level 3, Mid Valley Exhibition Centre (MVEC), Mid Valley Megamall.
