Jaecoo J5 EV Price in Pakistan: SUV at Hatchback Price

The Jaecoo J5 EV price in Pakistan is out, and it's lower than anyone expected for an SUV. On 6 November, Nishat Group's NexGen Auto announced two variants: the Comfort at Rs 5,999,000 and the Premium at Rs 6,699,000, both ex-factory. That puts a 4.4-metre electric SUV in the same price bracket as the electric hatchbacks Pakistan has been buying all year, the GAC Aion UT and the Chery Q. Here's what the J5 EV gets you, how it measures up against those cars and the electric SUVs above it, and what is still waiting on a price.

Jaecoo J5 EV Price in Pakistan

Both prices are introductory. Jaecoo's own announcement says they hold until 30 November 2026, and it hasn't said what they become after that. Every J5 EV comes with an 11 kW home charger and, unusually for an EV, a spare tyre, both free.

The J5 EV is assembled in Pakistan by NexGen Auto, which calls it the country's first locally assembled electric SUV. It joins the J5 SHS hybrid and the J7 plug-in hybrid, which Jaecoo says have passed 15,000 locally assembled units between them.

What You Get for the Money

Both variants share one powertrain, so the Rs 7 lakh between them buys equipment, not range or speed. From the official brochure:

The 405 km is an NEDC figure, the most generous of the test cycles. Expect less on a motorway in summer, and plan long trips with the route planner, which works out the charging stops for your car.

Comfort or Premium?

The Comfort is the bare version. It has two front airbags, halogen headlights, a 9-inch touchscreen, two speakers, manual seats and a reversing camera with rear sensors. It still gets dual-zone automatic climate control, rear AC vents, keyless entry, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and 18-inch alloys.

The Premium adds the safety kit: six airbags and a full set of driver assistance, including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. It also gets a 540-degree camera, a 13.2-inch vertical screen, eight speakers, LED headlights, power ventilated front seats, 50W wireless charging, a power tailgate and a 1.45 m² panoramic glass roof.

J5 EV vs Aion UT and Chery Q: The Size Argument

Until now, around Rs 55 to 65 lakh bought an electric hatchback. The two that set the bar are the GAC Aion UT, Rs 6,399,000 since Lucky Motor's launch in May, and the Chery Q, which Chery Master launched on 18 September at Rs 5,554,000 for a limited time.

The Premium against the Aion UT is the clearest case for the J5. For Rs 3 lakh more you get a bigger body, a bigger battery, half as much power again, twice the peak DC charging power and 159 litres more boot, plus power ventilated front seats, a panoramic roof and a power tailgate. On safety they're level: GAC's specification leaflet gives the UT Elite six airbags and the same kind of driver assistance. The UT keeps three things: a longer 2,750 mm wheelbase, so rear legroom isn't automatically the Jaecoo's win, a 14.6-inch screen, and a longer warranty, eight years or 160,000 km on the car against the J5's six years or 150,000 km.

The Comfort against the Chery Q is closer than the size suggests. The Comfort costs Rs 4.45 lakh more and is the bigger, quicker car with more clearance for broken roads. The Q answers with equipment: Chery's own page lists six airbags and a 15.6-inch screen, its launch release adds driver assistance and a 540-degree camera, and it charges from 30 to 80% in 16.5 minutes against the J5's 28. The J5 Comfort has two airbags, a reversing camera and none of the assistance. Space against safety kit is the real choice here.

Against the Other Electric SUVs

The J5 EV is now the cheapest of the 41 electric SUVs we list. The nearest are the BYD Atto 2, Rs 7,290,000 since Mega Motor's January launch, and the Dongfeng Vigo, whose E1 launched at Rs 6,999,000 in January as a launch price.

• J5 EV Premium against the Atto 2: Rs 5.91 lakh less, with a bigger battery, more NEDC range (405 km against 380), more power and 100 litres more boot. The Atto 2 has BYD's dealer network and a longer track record here.
• J5 EV Comfort against the Vigo E1: Rs 10 lakh less. The Vigo has the bigger boot on paper and a longer wheelbase, but its range is a CLTC figure, the most generous cycle, so the two ranges can't be compared directly.

The Two Still Waiting: Geely EX2 and Arcfox T1

Two small electric cars that could undercut the J5 EV still have no Pakistani price.

• Geely EX2: Bestway launched Geely on 24 October with the EX2, EX5 and Starray, but announced no prices and no booking date. The EX2 is a small rear-wheel-drive hatchback, China's best-seller last year, and Geely Pakistan's website quotes up to 395 km of WLTP range.
• Arcfox T1: Sazgar has shown the T1 but has given no price or launch date. Whether it arrives assembled here or imported whole depends on the new auto policy, and that decision sets its price.

Whatever they cost, the J5 EV Comfort's Rs 59.99 lakh is now the figure they'll be judged against. An EX2 or T1 well below it would win on price; one close to it would have to explain why a hatchback costs the same as an SUV.

What We Still Don't Know

• The price after 30 November. Jaecoo calls the current prices introductory and hasn't said what follows.
• The tax. Ministers presented the Auto Policy 2026–31 on 7 November, reports Dawn, but it hasn't been notified. Its proposed 1% sales tax on EVs could move every price in this article; our policy explainer has what it proposes.

The PakNEV Take: The SUV Is Now the Default at This Price

For most of 2026, about Rs 60 lakh bought a well-equipped electric hatchback. The J5 EV changes that: for the same money you can now have an SUV with more space, more clearance, more power and faster charging, and it's built here.

The Premium is the one we'd look at first. Against the Aion UT, Rs 3 lakh buys a bigger, quicker car with far more luggage room, at the same level of safety kit; the UT's longer warranty and longer wheelbase are what you give up. The Comfort is the harder call: it's the cheapest way into an electric SUV, but two airbags and no driver assistance is thin in a car that costs more than a Chery Q with six. If you drive the motorway with family, we'd stretch to the Premium.

Two things to weigh before booking. The prices are introductory, and the auto policy could still change what every EV costs. Neither is a reason to wait forever, but it is a reason to ask the dealer exactly what your booking locks in.
