Locally Built, This Is The TKDN Jaecool J5 EV

JAKARTA - Jaecoo Indonesia has one pure electric car ammunition, namely J5 EV, which has opened an order during the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) exhibition, some time ago.

Interestingly, the electric car, the strong challenger BYD Atto 3, has been assembled locally in Indonesia, more precisely at the PT Handal Indonesia Motor Bekasi facility, West Java. This assurance was revealed by Jaecool Indonesia Head of Product Ryan Ferdiean Tirto.

"So, the cars that we test drive are already CKD in Handal Bekasi. The local content is 40 percent," he said, when met in the Bogor area, West Java, Tuesday, October 14.

Furthermore, the man who is familiarly called Ryan said that even though he was already a CKD, he did not sacrifice good quality in terms of features, batteries and drivers.

"The adjustment does exist a little with features, but like batteries, the driving is the same. Actually, it's not more than just added. Like air conditioning, it's now in the second row," he added.

As previously reported by VOI, Jaecool J5 EV can be ordered at GIIAS 2025. This model itself is present in two variants, for the price (pre booking) of the Standard variant is at Rp350 million, while the Premium variant is at Rp450 million.

Designed for the new generation of urban explorers, the J5 EV presents a bold evolution of the 'beyond classical' JAECOO design philosophy. Despite being compact, this true SUV comes with a clean modern aesthetic as well as a broad and practical space function, appropriate for young and active families who want flexibility for weekdays and performance ready to explore on weekends.

Powered by a battery with a capacity of 60.9 kWh, J5 BEV is designed to provide efficiency as well as practicality. This vehicle has a maximum power of 155 kW and a maximum torque of 288 Nm. Equipped with 17 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and 6 airbags, this car ensures the safety of passengers on every trip.
