Omoda and Jaecoo Philippines has confirmed that the Jaecoo J5 hybrid crossover will make its Philippine debut in 2026. According to the two Chinese brands, the J5 has been successful across Southeast Asia, winning awards and racking up orders in Thailand and Indonesia.
Locally, the crossover will be the first hybrid offering from Omoda and Jaecoo. It will join the plug-in hybrid J7 and the fully electric EJ6, along with the combustion-engined Omoda C5 and its EV counterpart, the E5.
As with other vehicles in its stable, the J5 is targeted towards younger car buyers and drivers. However, Jaecoo has also assembled this crossover for one particular demographic—pet owners.
