JAKARTA - The popularity of the Jaecoo J5 EV as one of the best-selling electric cars in Indonesia is inseparable from the dynamic lifestyle of its users. Not a few owners want to modify their vehicles to look more personal and at the same time meet daily needs.
Modifying yourself is indeed often part of vehicle ownership. However, for electric cars that are still in the warranty period, this step cannot be done carelessly. Mistakes in making changes are at risk of canceling the manufacturer's warranty.
Answering this need, Jaecoo Indonesia provides an explanation regarding the types of modifications that are still allowed without affecting the vehicle warranty, especially for the Jaecoo J5 EV.
Head of Marketing Jaecoo Indonesia, Ilham Pratama, said that minor modifications were still tolerated, such as tire and rim replacement. However, there are important conditions that must be considered, namely the size and specifications still refer to the standard of the vehicle.
"What is not vital, for example, the tire can be replaced. Then the rim can also be as long as it is in accordance with the size and specifications of our standard car," said Ilham when met at the 2026 IIMS exhibition, Kemayoran area, Jakarta.
He emphasized that the electrical system is the most sensitive aspect of electric vehicles. As long as there are no changes to the system, the modification is considered safe.
"As long as it doesn't change the electricity, for example our standard rim is 18 inches and then it is still 18 inches and according to specifications, it is still allowed," he added.
However, Jaecoo reminded that any changes outside the manufacturer's standards will be further evaluated. The impact on the warranty will be thoroughly reviewed, depending on the type and level of modifications made.
"If the owner makes changes that are different from the standard, we will look back at how it affects the warranty, whether it still applies or can be canceled," concluded Ilham.
