Buying
Jaecoo J5 price in Pakistan: electric and hybrid compared
What the Jaecoo J5 costs in Pakistan as an electric car and as a hybrid, when the introductory price ends, and what each costs to run per 100 km.
The Jaecoo J5 is sold in Pakistan in two forms. The hybrid has been on sale since January 2026, and a fully electric J5 was launched on 6 November 2026. They share a body and a badge and very little else: one fills up with petrol and never plugs in, the other has no engine at all. This guide puts them side by side as of November 2026: what each costs to buy, what each costs to run, and which one suits which kind of driving.
The prices
| Jaecoo J5 EV | Jaecoo J5 HEV | |
|---|---|---|
| Official price, ex-factory | PKR 59.99 lakh to 66.99 lakh | PKR 69.99 lakh to 79.99 lakh |
| Trims | Comfort and Premium | Comfort and Premium |
| Runs on | Electricity, from a plug | Petrol, with no plug |
| Battery | 49.5 kWh | about 1.8 kWh, charged by the engine |
| Range or economy | 344 km rated, about 236 km to plan around | 16 to 20 km per litre |
| 100 km costs | about Rs 652 charged at home | about Rs 1,861 in petrol |
In both cases the lower figure is the Comfort trim and the higher one the Premium. Two notes on those prices:
- Electric: Introductory prices, valid until 30 November 2026. Bookings are open and deliveries are expected from January 2027.
- Hybrid: Raised by PKR 3 lakh on 1 October 2026, from PKR 66.99 lakh and PKR 76.99 lakh.
The full figures for each are on the Jaecoo J5 EV and Jaecoo J5 HEV pages.
The electric one is the cheaper one
That is the unusual thing about this pair. In most line-ups the electric version is the expensive one. Here the electric J5 starts PKR 10 lakh below the hybrid.
Part of the reason is tax. The J5 EV is assembled in Pakistan, and a fully electric car made or assembled here carries 1 percent sales tax, extended to 30 June 2027 in the 2026-27 budget, while a locally assembled hybrid of this size carries 18 percent. The hybrid's price also rose on 1 October 2026.
The electric price is an introductory one with an end date, so the gap may narrow. Check the date in the note above before you rely on it.
What each costs to run
| Per 100 km | Cost |
|---|---|
| Jaecoo J5 EV, charged at home off-peak | ~Rs 652 |
| Jaecoo J5 EV, charged only at public DC fast chargers | ~Rs 2,171 |
| Jaecoo J5 HEV, on petrol | ~Rs 1,861 |
| A petrol car doing 12 km per litre | ~Rs 2,792 |
The home figure uses the off-peak residential rate of Rs 34.53 per kWh, and the petrol figures use Rs 335.00 a litre. The hybrid's cost is worked out from the middle of its 16 to 20 km per litre.
At 1,500 km a month that is about Rs 9,800 for the electric J5 charged at home, against about Rs 27,900 for the hybrid. Over a year the difference is roughly Rs 218,000.
Where you charge decides most of that. An electric car charged only at public fast chargers gives back much of the saving, which is why the question to settle first is whether you can plug in where the car sleeps. The arithmetic in full.
Living with the electric J5
Range. The battery is 49.5 kWh. It is rated at 344 km on the WLTP cycle, and the maker also quotes 405 km on the gentler NEDC cycle. At a steady 100 km/h with 10 percent kept in reserve, plan on about 236 km, and less at 120 km/h. Lahore to Islamabad on the M-2 is longer than that, so it is a trip with one charging stop. The M-2 route page shows where the chargers are.
Charging. It takes DC at up to 130 kW through a CCS2 port, the standard on almost every fast charger in Pakistan, so it can use 87 of the 90 DC fast chargers listed here. At home it charges on AC at up to 11 kW, and the launch offer includes an 11 kW home charger. A full charge at home costs about Rs 1,709 off-peak.
Waiting. Bookings are open, and the first deliveries are expected from January 2027.
Living with the hybrid
The J5 HEV asks nothing of you. It has a 1.5 litre turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor, fills up at any pump and has no socket. At 16 to 20 km per litre its 51 litre tank is good for about 920 km. It costs more to buy than the electric car and more per kilometre to run, and in exchange it needs no charger at home or on the road.
Which one to choose
- You can charge at home. The electric J5. It is cheaper to buy today and far cheaper to run, and a day's driving in a city fits inside its range many times over.
- You have nowhere to plug in. The hybrid. An electric car that lives on public fast chargers loses much of its cost advantage and adds planning.
- You drive between cities every week. Look at your route first. If the chargers on it are frequent enough for a car with about 236 km of real range, the electric J5 does the trip with stops. If they are not, the hybrid does it without thinking.
Other cars at this money are on the electric cars in Pakistan page and the hybrid cars in Pakistan page, and the cost calculator works out the monthly bill for your own distance.
