Omoda Jaecoo Australia has made an emphatic entrance into the local EV market, with the Jaecoo J5 electric SUV surpassing 1,000 customer orders within weeks of its debut. The rapid uptake underscores the growing demand among Australian drivers for accessible, well-equipped electric SUVs that strike a balance between performance, design, and value.

A strong start signals shifting market dynamics

“The response to the Jaecoo J5 has exceeded our expectations,” says Roy Munoz, Chief Commercial Officer, Omoda Jaecoo Australia. “Hitting 1,000 orders so quickly shows Australians are decisive when an EV gets the formula right: modern design, advanced technology, and exceptional value.”

Industry insiders point to the J5 as one of the fastest-growing new EV nameplates in Australia this year, capturing attention not just for its specifications but also for its timing in a market increasingly ready for electric alternatives.

Specs built for real-world use

The Jaecoo J5 delivers:

  • Up to 402 km of range, sufficient for weekend escapes and daily commutes
  • DC fast charging capability, taking the battery from 30% to 80% in just 28 minutes
  • Pet-friendly, antibacterial synthetic leather, crafted from a durable silicone-based material

Such practical yet refined touches make the J5 well-suited for active families and lifestyle-conscious drivers alike.

To mark its launch, Omoda Jaecoo is offering a $36,990 driveaway price with free premium paint for the first 2,000 orders. With more than 1,000 already claimed, supply is limited, and buyers are advised to act quickly.

With nationwide deliveries imminent, Jaecoo Australia anticipates that the J5’s momentum will continue. Early adoption is strong, but the vehicle’s staying power will ultimately depend on real-world experience and ownership satisfaction, factors that increasingly define success in the competitive EV segment.
