The wait is over. OMODA & JAECOO Pakistan has announced the official ex-factory price of the Jaecoo J5 EV, Pakistan’s first locally assembled battery-electric SUV, at a midday reveal on Friday 6 November 2026. The electric crossover starts at Rs5,999,000 for the Comfort variant, while the better-equipped Premium is priced at Rs6,699,000. Bookings have opened at OMODA & JAECOO dealerships across the country, with a booking amount of Rs1,200,000 for the Comfort and Rs1,500,000 for the Premium. The announcement ends weeks of speculation that began when the company teased the reveal in a short video clip, as we reported earlier. The Jaecoo J5 EV price Pakistan announcement is the one buyers have waited for since the car was shown in September — and it undercuts the J5’s own hybrid sibling by a full Rs1,000,000 at the entry point.
Jaecoo J5 EV price in Pakistan: Comfort at Rs5,999,000, Premium at Rs6,699,000
NexGen Auto, the Nishat Group subsidiary behind OMODA & JAECOO in Pakistan, has confirmed two variants of the all-electric J5. The Comfort carries an ex-factory price of Rs5,999,000, and the Premium is listed at Rs6,699,000 — a gap of Rs700,000 between the two. Both prices are ex-factory, which means freight, registration, taxes and insurance are charged on top, so the final on-road figure will be higher. Buyers should ask their dealer for a complete written on-road price before paying the booking amount. Bloom Pakistan reports the announcement in full, with both variant prices and booking amounts confirmed by the company.
There is a deadline attached to these figures. The company has said the announced prices are introductory and valid till 30 November 2026. Anyone who books before that date locks in the launch price; what happens after 30 November has not been stated. The booking amounts are Rs1,200,000 for the Comfort and Rs1,500,000 for the Premium, payable at authorised OMODA & JAECOO dealerships. What the Premium adds over the Comfort in equipment has not been detailed in the announcement — the two variants share the same battery and the same claimed range — so buyers should confirm the feature list with their dealer before choosing.
One battery, one range: 49.5 kWh and up to 405 km
Both variants of the J5 EV use the same 49.5 kWh battery pack, with a claimed driving range of up to 405 km on the NEDC cycle. That is the figure NexGen Auto has announced for the production cars, and it applies equally to the Comfort and the Premium — there is no long-range variant at a higher price, at least not in this first announcement. The electric motor is listed at about 208 hp, driving the front wheels.
Two details in the announcement will matter to everyday owners. Every buyer gets a complimentary 11 kW home charger, and — unusually for an EV — a free spare tyre. A spare wheel is almost unheard of in electric cars, where the space is usually given over to the battery, and NexGen Auto has made a point of including one. Readers who followed the car at the Pakistan Auto Show in September may remember a different battery figure: the display unit shown there was described with a 58.9 kWh pack. The production variants announced today both use the 49.5 kWh battery, and the 405 km NEDC figure is the one buyers should use when comparing.
Bookings open today: how to reserve a J5 EV
Bookings are open now. Buyers can visit their nearest OMODA & JAECOO dealership and reserve a car with the booking amount for their chosen variant — Rs1,200,000 for the Comfort or Rs1,500,000 for the Premium. The company has not published an online booking portal for the EV, so for now the dealership is the route. Bring identification and be ready to confirm the variant, colour and the full on-road price in writing before the payment is made.
One thing the announcement did not include is a delivery date. NexGen Auto has not said when the first customer cars will be handed over, and no delivery timeline was given alongside the price. The first EV unit rolled off the Faisalabad line in October, so production has begun, but buyers should confirm the expected delivery month with their dealer rather than assuming a date. This article will be updated when the company confirms delivery timings.
Built in Faisalabad: Pakistan’s first locally assembled electric SUV
The J5 EV is assembled in completely knocked-down (CKD) form at NexGen Auto’s plant in Faisalabad, making it the first battery-electric vehicle put together in Pakistan. That matters for more than pride: local assembly usually means a lower price than an imported car in the same class, and it gives the company a base for parts supply and after-sales service inside the country. The same plant already builds the J5 HEV hybrid and the JAECOO J7 PHEV, which have together passed 15,000 units off the line.
The pace has been fast. OMODA & JAECOO entered Pakistan on 1 August 2025 with a USD 100 million investment from the Nishat Group, and passed 10,000 customer deliveries within their first year. The J5 EV was first shown to the Pakistani public at the Pakistan Auto Show at Expo Centre Lahore in September, where it became one of the most closely followed new-energy launches of the year. The price reveal was the last piece of the puzzle, and it arrived on the date the company had promised — Friday 6 November, at midday, as the reveal, scheduled for midday, had been teased.
What the J5 EV means for Pakistan’s electric car market
The most striking number in the announcement is not the price itself but the comparison with the car’s hybrid sibling. The J5 HEV Comfort currently lists at Rs6,999,000 after the Rs300,000 increase that took effect on 1 October — a full Rs1,000,000 more than the electric Comfort. The HEV Premium is Rs7,999,000, which is Rs1,300,000 more than the electric Premium. For the first time in Pakistan, the electric version of a car is the cheaper one to buy, not the dearer one. That flips the usual EV calculation, in which buyers pay a premium upfront and recover it later in fuel savings.
The equipment list, as stated by the manufacturer, includes a panoramic roof, ventilated seats, a 540-degree camera, rear air vents and charging ports, and a 3.3 kW vehicle-to-load function that can power appliances from the car’s battery. The battery carries an eight-year warranty. These are manufacturer claims, and buyers should verify them on the car itself at the dealership. The J5 EV is not arriving into an empty market: deliveries of the JETOUR T1 i-DM begin in Pakistan this November, and several brands are racing to launch locally assembled new-energy vehicles. What sets the J5 EV apart is that it is already rolling off a Pakistani assembly line, with a dealer and service network that NexGen Auto has spent the past year building.
The price is out, bookings are open, and the introductory offer runs till 30 November. The remaining question is delivery: when the first customers will get their cars. We will update this story as soon as NexGen Auto confirms the delivery schedule. Until then, the figure to remember is Rs5,999,000 — the price of Pakistan’s first locally assembled electric SUV.
