Following its record-breaking success across Southeast Asia, the highly anticipated Jaecoo J5 HEV is officially making its way to the Philippines. Omoda & Jaecoo Motor Philippines Inc. (OJPH) is proud to announce the arrival of its first-ever Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)—a strategic milestone that officially completes the brand’s comprehensive New Energy Vehicle (NEV) lineup in the country.
A Proven Regional Leader
The Jaecoo J5 arrives with a pedigree of regional dominance. In Thailand, it achieved a “double championship” in November, ranking first in sales and registrations within its sector. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, the J5 became an “instant hit” with orders exceeding 10,000 units in its first month. This global momentum now lands in Manila, where the J5 HEV is poised to become the premier choice for first-time hybrid buyers looking for world-class quality and accessible innovation.
Completing the NEV Ecosystem
The introduction of the J5 HEV is more than just a new model launch; it is the fulfillment of a mission. By adding the J5 HEV to its existing PHEV and BEV portfolio, Omoda & Jaecoo now offers a specialized solution for every Filipino driver, catering to those at every stage of the transition toward sustainable mobility. The J5 HEV is the perfect solution for motorists who want the efficiency of an electric drive without the need for external charging.
J5 HEV: The Efficiency and Performance Champion
Engineered to tackle the unique demands of Philippine driving, the J5 HEV offers a “class-above” combination of power and economy:
- Incredible Efficiency: Delivers a combined fuel consumption of just 5.3L / 100 km, significantly lowering daily operating costs.
- Province-Ready Range: Offers an expansive range of over 1,000 kilometers, eliminating range anxiety for long-distance travel.
- Punchy Performance: Boasts a combined 221 HP and 295 Nm of torque for confident overtaking and effortless city driving.
- Premium Handling: Equipped with a sophisticated 4-link independent rear suspension, the J5 ensures a smoother, more stable ride compared to typical entry-level SUVs, providing superior comfort on varied urban roads.
Designed for the Filipino Lifestyle
The J5 HEV is more than just a car; it’s a lifestyle companion designed for every member of the family. Featuring a unique “Baby Land Rover” aesthetic, it is built to endure the active Filipino lifestyle with a TÜV SÜD-certified pet-friendly interior made of antibacterial and scratch-resistant materials that are easy to clean. This versatile cabin is further optimized by a curated selection of car-compatible pet accessories, including specialized boarding steps for smaller companions, a dedicated pet-feeding system, and secure trunk barriers to ensure your pets travel in as much comfort and style as you do.
Accessible Innovation
“We are bringing the J5 HEV to the Philippines to prove that high-value hybrid mobility is a choice available to all,” says Fritz Gerald De Ocampo, Marketing Manager, OJPH. “By completing our NEV lineup, we are ensuring that every Filipino has access to the most advanced, sustainable, and reliable automotive technology today.”
