JAKARTA - After being present in Indonesia early last year, Jaecoo, a subbrand of Chery, continues to expand its wings in the international market and will enter the Australian market early next year (2026).
Citing the Driveau website, Thursday, December 18, the J5 model is scheduled to be present for the first time in the form of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) in one high specification variant, before the more affordable hybrid model and the entry-level turbo gasoline model in mid-March 2026.
If you refer to the strategy above, it is different from in Indonesia. For the automotive market in the country, Jaecoo first presents a hybrid version for the J7 and J8 models, and recently launched the J5 BEV.
The price of the J5 BEV in Australia will be announced in the next few days, but it is estimated that the J5 BEV will be in the range of 40,000 Australian dollars or around Rp442 million, much more expensive than the Indonesian market which is priced at Rp200 million.
The Jaecoo brand is positioned in the Australian market as a younger and sporty target market compared to its sister, Omoda which focuses on luxury.
Its specifications have not been revealed but it is expected to come with a single electric motor that produces 155kW/ 288 Nm of power delivered to the front wheels, and is claimed to be able to reach a speed of 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds and its range is estimated to reach 402 km.
J5 is claimed to have a 130kW fast charger that can charge J5 from 30 to 80 percent in 28 minutes, which is ready to be a challenger to the Mazda CX-30, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Kona, MG ZS.
