Jakarta, June 5, 2026 – The JAECOO J5 EV continues to strengthen its position in Indonesia’s electric vehicle market after becoming the country’s No.1 best-selling EV from January to April 2026. This achievement was supported by retail sales of 10,587 units and wholesale sales of 11,006 units during the first four months of the year, reflecting the growing confidence of Indonesian consumers in the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) technology offered by JAECOO.
Behind this achievement, the JAECOO J5 EV offers more than just zero-emission mobility. As a modern electric SUV, it is engineered with comprehensive safety technologies designed to provide maximum protection for drivers and passengers while delivering a more comfortable and confident driving experience across various road conditions.
One of the standout features that differentiates the J5 EV in its segment is the 540° Panoramic View System with Transparent Chassis, which provides a comprehensive view of the vehicle’s surroundings, including the area beneath the vehicle. This advanced system helps reduce blind spots when maneuvering in tight spaces, parking, or navigating different road conditions. With high-resolution displays and multiple viewing angles, drivers can monitor their surroundings more safely and accurately.
To further enhance daily driving safety, the JAECOO J5 EV is equipped with 17 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features designed to help drivers detect potential hazards, improve awareness, and reduce the risk of accidents on the road. These intelligent technologies serve as an additional layer of protection, supporting a safer driving experience for all occupants.
Passenger protection is further reinforced through the inclusion of six airbags strategically positioned throughout the cabin. The combination of active and passive safety systems ensures comprehensive protection in various driving scenarios.
As an electric vehicle, battery safety is one of the fundamental considerations in the development of the JAECOO J5 EV. To address this, the vehicle utilizes a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, known for its high thermal stability, resistance to thermal runaway, and longer service life for long-term use.
JAECOO’s commitment to safety is also demonstrated through a series of rigorous battery safety tests. Even under simulated severe collision conditions, the battery cells maintained high stability and did not ignite, even when fully charged. In addition, the battery is protected by an IP68-rated protection system, ensuring reliable performance and safety during heavy rain or when driving through water at certain depths.
“Safety has always been one of the top priorities in the development of every JAECOO vehicle. In the J5 EV, we have integrated comprehensive safety technologies through a combination of 17 ADAS features, six airbags, the 540° Panoramic View System with Transparent Chassis, and the Intelligent Electric Safety Manager specifically designed for electric vehicles. We want every journey to be not only more efficient and environmentally friendly, but also safer and more reassuring for all users,” said Jim Ma, Business Unit Director of JAECOO Indonesia.
According to Jim Ma, the J5 EV’s achievement as Indonesia’s best-selling electric vehicle demonstrates that consumers increasingly prioritize vehicles capable of combining technology, safety, and efficiency in a package that meets the demands of modern mobility.
“The J5 EV’s position as Indonesia’s No.1 best-selling EV from January to April 2026 proves that consumers have growing confidence in the NEV technologies we offer. Moving forward, we will continue to introduce innovations that address the evolving needs of Indonesian consumers, from high safety standards and operational efficiency to a comfortable driving experience for both daily commutes and long-distance travel,” he added.
Beyond its high safety standards, the JAECOO J5 EV also delivers efficiency that aligns with the needs of Indonesian consumers. With electricity consumption costs of approximately IDR 1,700 per kWh, the vehicle’s operating expenses are estimated at only around IDR 290,000 per month, or approximately IDR 9,600 per day—making it more affordable than the price of a cup of coffee.
In terms of performance, the JAECOO J5 EV is powered by a 60.9 kWh battery, producing a maximum output of 155 kW and 288 Nm of torque. The vehicle offers a driving range of up to 461 kilometers on a single charge, enabling intercity journeys such as Jakarta to Semarang without the need for recharging along the way.
The SUV character of the JAECOO J5 EV is further enhanced by its 200 mm ground clearance, providing confidence when driving through various road conditions, from urban streets and steep inclines to light gravel roads. Combined with a spacious cabin, a class-leading 1.45 m² panoramic roof, and a range of modern comfort features, the J5 EV delivers a safe, comfortable, and efficient driving experience for Indonesian families.
With its comprehensive combination of active and passive safety technologies, affordable operating costs, and competitive driving range, the JAECOO J5 EV continues to strengthen its position as an electric SUV capable of meeting the modern mobility needs of Indonesian consumers. These advanced safety features reflect JAECOO’s commitment to delivering vehicles that are not only innovative and comfortable but also provide maximum protection for every user.
