JAECOO, the emerging global SUV brand under OMODA & JAECOO Automobile International, is set to launch its much-anticipated JAECOO J5 in the UAE this July, heralding a new chapter in premium off-road lifestyle vehicles for the region.
Described as “the new darling of future travel,” the J5 captured international attention during its global unveiling at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2025, and now makes its way to the Emirates, where automotive enthusiasts will have exclusive access to test drive the model at showrooms across the country.
Targeted at modern explorers and weekend adventurers, the J5 offers a compelling blend of refined design, intelligent technology, and light off-road capability. Inspired by the natural world — from snow-capped peaks to river-carved valleys — the J5 features distinctive ridge-like body lines, a bold waterfall grille, and an integrated rear spoiler. The overall effect is one of balanced power and poise, with styling that evokes both resilience and serenity.
“The JAECOO J5 is more than a vehicle; it’s a lifestyle statement for today’s generation of freedom seekers,” said Shawn Xu, CEO of OMODA & JAECOO Automobile International. “It’s engineered to fulfill a growing longing for nature and freedom in the midst of urban hustle, and we are proud to bring that vision to the UAE.”
Built on JAECOO’s next-generation powertrain platform, the J5 promises to deliver robust on- and off-road performance, handling UAE highways and desert tracks with equal ease. Whether navigating urban terrain or setting out for spontaneous getaways, the J5 brings a smooth yet commanding drive powered by the latest advancements in drivetrain technology.
Inside, the J5 is designed with passenger enjoyment in mind. An in-car microphone and karaoke mode bring fun and interaction to family road trips and group adventures, further underlining JAECOO’s belief that travel should be as entertaining as it is empowering.
“J5 reflects our belief that travel should not only be bold and beautiful but deeply personal and inclusive,” added Xu. “We invite all UAE residents to test drive the J5 and discover a new standard of off-road elegance.”
As the UAE continues to embrace lifestyle-centric vehicles that combine luxury with functionality, the JAECOO J5 enters the market as a unique value proposition.
Test drives and bookings for the J5 will open at all JAECOO UAE showrooms starting July 2025.
