KARACHI: Nixon Auto, a subsidiary of Nishat Group, has announced the initial prices and complete technical specifications of the most-awaited vehicle, the Jaecoo J5 SHS PHEV
The vehicle is being introduced in the subcompact hybrid SUV segment after its successful predecessor Jaecoo J7, and will provide premium technology to the customers at an affordable price with a locally assembled unit.
The prices of the J5 have been kept quite attractive. According to the company, the Jaecoo J5 Comfort has been priced at Rs 6,699,000 and the Premium variant at Rs 7,699,000; these prices will remain valid till March 10, 2026.
The base variant is priced at the same price as the Toyota Corolla Altis CVT 1.6, which shows Jaecoo’s intention to make hybrid SUVs an alternative to sedan-level pricing.
Both variants feature a 1.5-liter turbocharged hybrid powertrain, which delivers 221 horsepower and 295 Newton-meters of torque.
Thanks to this, the car can achieve a speed of 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds.
With a 1.83 kWh hybrid battery, the J5 has a claimed fuel economy of 18.8 km/l, making it a great choice for urban and long-distance travel.
The design and dimensions of the J5 are also impressive. It measures 4,380 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width and 1,650 mm in height, while the wheelbase is 2,620 mm.
This size puts the car in direct competition with the Honda and Toyota Corolla Cross.
The exterior design includes a ‘waterfall’ front grille and 18-inch alloy wheels, while the interior features a minimalist “nature-inspired” design, a 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an 8-inch digital cluster and an eight-speaker premium audio system.
In terms of safety and technology, the top variant Premium includes advanced driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control and blind spot detection, a 540-degree panoramic camera, six airbags, acoustic glass and anti-pinch windows, ventilated front seats, and wireless charging.
The official bookings for the car are now open, for which a partial payment of Rs 1,500,000 has been made.
According to the company, the first batch of deliveries is expected in February 2026.
With the growing trend of the hybrid market in Pakistan, the Jaecoo J5 stands out for its fuel economy and premium features, providing customers with a luxury experience without the ‘one crore’ budget.
