Omoda Jaecoo extends amazing J5 EV $36,990 driveaway price to EOFY

Chinese automaker Chery has extended the attractive driveaway price of its Omoda Jaecoo J5 EV to the end of the Australian financial year, 30 June 2026. Since its launch in December 2025, the J5 EV has garnered significant interest, with over 4,000 orders reported, driven largely by rising fuel prices and its competitive $36,990 price tag. Deliveries began in January 2026, positioning the J5 as an affordable option in the electric mid-size SUV market. The Jaecoo J5 EV features a front-mounted 155 kW motor delivering 288 Nm of torque, enabling a 0-100 km/h sprint in 7.7 seconds. Its 58.9 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery offers a WLTP range of up to 402 km and supports vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality. Inside, the SUV boasts a minimalist cabin with a 13.2-inch vertical touchscreen controlling climate, media, and vehicle settings, alongside wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration and a 50 W wireless charger. Safety and comfort are well catered for, with seven airbags, autonomous emergency braking, emergency lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning included as standard. The interior uses a pet-friendly synthetic leather made from a silicone-based material, which is antibacterial, wear-resistant, and easy to clean. The J5 also comes with an extensive eight-year unlimited-kilometre warranty covering the vehicle, battery pack, and capped-price servicing. The extended pricing offer and solid feature set make the Jaecoo J5 EV a compelling proposition for Australian buyers seeking an affordable electric SUV. Industry observers note that the model’s success reflects growing consumer demand for cost-effective EVs amid fluctuating fuel costs. With strong early sales and ongoing support, the J5 is poised to strengthen Chery’s foothold in the competitive electric vehicle market Down Under.
