JAECOO J5 EV Price Reveal Set for 6 November in Pakistan
The official ex-factory price of the JAECOO J5 EV will be revealed on 6 November, giving Pakistani buyers the last key detail on the country’s first locally assembled electric vehicle. The electric SUV was unveiled at the Pakistan Auto Show at Expo Centre Lahore in September, and it has been one of the most closely followed new energy launches of the year.
The announcement comes from Nishat Group, which handles the OMODA and JAECOO brands in Pakistan through NexGen Auto. For buyers weighing a first electric car, the price will decide whether the J5 competes with petrol SUVs or stays a niche choice.
Pakistan’s first locally assembled EV
The J5 EV is being assembled in completely knocked-down form at NexGen Auto’s Faisalabad plant. The same plant has already produced the J5 hybrid and the JAECOO J7 plug-in hybrid, which crossed 15,000 units off the line last month. The first EV unit rolled off the line in October.
Local media have described the J5 EV as the first battery electric vehicle assembled in Pakistan. That distinction matters for buyers in practical ways. Local assembly supports availability of spare parts and after-sales service, and it opens the door to financing an EV through banks, an option that matters for first-time electric buyers.
The launch builds on a foundation laid since OMODA and JAECOO arrived in Pakistan on 1 August 2025 at Expo Centre Lahore with a USD 100 million investment. The brands passed 10,000 customer deliveries in their first year and have since celebrated 15,000 units, helped by Nishat Group’s market strength and customer service network.
What buyers will weigh besides price
Price is only part of the decision for electric buyers in Pakistan. Range for intercity trips, charging availability, running cost per kilometre against petrol, and confidence that the car will be supported for years all shape the choice.
The J5 EV answers several of these points at once. It offers a claimed range that covers daily city driving and many intercity runs on a single charge, fast DC charging for longer trips, and home charging. Its battery warranty runs for eight years, which removes one of the biggest worries for first-time EV buyers.
The car is also designed for how Pakistani families use their vehicles. It has a spacious cabin with rear air vents and charging ports, a panoramic roof, and ventilated seats for hot summers. A 540-degree camera helps in crowded markets and tight parking. A 3.3 kW vehicle-to-load feature lets the car power appliances or equipment, an unusual extra in a country where load-shedding still worries many households.
The Nishat Group advantage
Behind the product stands one of Pakistan’s strongest business groups, with interests across textiles, cement, banking, insurance, power and agriculture. NexGen Auto has used that strength to build a dealership network, local assembly and a service organisation around OMODA and JAECOO.
For a customer considering an electric car for the first time, that backing is a major reassurance. A new brand can promise service, but a group with nationwide operations and a long record in Pakistan can deliver it. That difference often decides whether buyers take the step from petrol to electric.
The wider market is moving in the same direction. Feature Pakistan recently covered Geely’s launch in Pakistan with Bestway, which brought three new energy vehicles to the market, and the XPeng L03 launch and Neo electric vehicles from Nora and Metro. The J5 EV now adds a locally assembled option to that growing field.
