Jaecoo J5 EV Pakistan Price: First Locally Assembled Electric SUV to Be Revealed on 6 November

The wait is almost over for Pakistan’s electric vehicle enthusiasts. OMODA & JAECOO Pakistan has officially teased the Jaecoo J5 EV Pakistan price, confirming that the ex-factory price of the country’s first locally assembled electric SUV will be revealed on 6 November 2026. The short teaser clip, which highlights the crossover’s sleek daytime running lights, ends with a clear message: “Price Reveal on November 06, 2026.”

The announcement has set off a wave of excitement among car buyers, with NexGen Auto and OMODA & JAECOO trending on social media as Pakistanis debate what the country’s first homegrown-assembled EV should cost. For now, the company has not disclosed the price, booking details or delivery timeline — all of that arrives on Thursday.

Jaecoo J5 EV price reveal on 6 November: what the teaser shows

The teaser is deliberately short on detail. It focuses on the front daytime running lights of the Jaecoo J5 BEV, the all-electric version of the J5 crossover, and confirms only the date of the price announcement. Everything else — the official price list, variant structure, warranty terms and booking schedule — is being held back for the reveal event.

What makes the date significant is that the Jaecoo J5 EV is not just another imported electric crossover. It will be the first battery electric vehicle assembled in Pakistan in completely knocked-down (CKD) form, rolling off the line at NexGen Auto’s Faisalabad plant. That milestone is why the 6 November reveal is being watched well beyond the usual circle of car enthusiasts.

Pakistan’s first locally assembled electric car

According to the company’s announcements, the J5 EV is being assembled in CKD form at NexGen Auto’s Faisalabad facility, where the J5 HEV hybrid and the JAECOO J7 PHEV have already crossed 15,000 units line-off. The first EV unit reportedly rolled off the line in October, and local media has described the model as the first battery electric car put together in Pakistan.

The milestone builds on a rapid first year for the brands. OMODA & JAECOO entered Pakistan on 1 August 2025 with a USD 100 million investment, backed by the Nishat Group, and passed 10,000 customer deliveries within their first year. The Jaecoo J5 EV was first shown to the Pakistani public at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) at the Expo Centre Lahore in September, where it became one of the most closely followed new-energy launches of the year.

While the Pakistani variant’s final specification sheet is still awaited, the Jaecoo J5 BEV Premium Plus is known internationally to carry a 58.9 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery driving the front wheels through a single permanent magnet synchronous motor rated at around 155 kW (roughly 208 horsepower) and 288 Nm of torque.

Range claims vary by testing cycle: the widely quoted WLTP figure stands at 392 kilometres, with an EPA-rated figure of 335 kilometres, while some market launches have advertised up to 461 kilometres on more generous cycles. Buyers should wait for the official Pakistani specification sheet on 6 November before treating any figure as final. Reported equipment includes 18-inch aero wheels, a panoramic roof, a large 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 360-degree camera and heated and ventilated front seats.

Why local assembly matters for EV prices in Pakistan

A CKD reveal is more than a technicality — it usually points to a lower landed cost than importing finished vehicles, which is exactly why the locally assembled EV tag matters for pricing. Local assembly also supports spare-parts availability, workshop expertise for high-voltage systems and, eventually, bank financing options that importers struggle to offer.

Pakistan’s electric vehicle market has been waiting for this moment. Our detailed guide to electric cars in Pakistan in 2026 tracks how prices, models and charging options are evolving — and a locally assembled Jaecoo J5 EV could reset expectations across the segment. For context, the hybrid Jaecoo J5 already shook up the market by undercutting Japanese and Korean rivals, with its Comfort and Premium variants priced near PKR 6.7 million and PKR 7.7 million respectively.

What to expect on 6 November

On the day, buyers will be looking for four things: the official ex-factory price, the variant line-up, the written battery warranty and the charging standard — plus which workshops are equipped to service the car. The company has also been expanding its footprint in parallel, including a strategic push into premium EVs through the Nishat Group’s LUXEED partnership, which shows how seriously the group is taking Pakistan’s electric transition.

Until the reveal, the price remains the industry’s best-kept secret. Reports circulating in the market have speculated on a price band, but the company has confirmed nothing — and the official word comes on 6 November. If the Jaecoo J5 EV lands at an aggressive price, it could do for electric cars what the hybrid J5 did for hybrids: force every rival to rethink its price list.

Sources: the price-reveal teaser was reported by PKRevenue and CorpWire; specifications are as reported by the international automotive press and remain subject to the official Pakistani announcement.
