OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia is celebrating its second anniversary on a high note, with total vehicle deliveries surpassing 32,000 units. The company also shared that it has become Malaysia’s fifth best-selling automotive brand in 2026, having delivered more than 8,100 vehicles in the first seven months of the year.
The company is expecting to continue this sales momentum as it opens bookings for its first fully electric model, the JAECOO J5 EV.
J5 EV Bookings Now Open
The all-new JAECOO J5 EV is now open for bookings with an estimated retail price from RM125,000.
As the brand’s first battery electric vehicle (BEV) in Malaysia, the J5 EV marks another step in OMODA | JAECOO’s electrification strategy and expands its local line-up beyond internal combustion engine (ICE) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) models.
The J5 EV joins the company’s growing New Energy Vehicle (NEV) portfolio, giving customers a choice of ICE, PHEV and fully electric powertrains.
Strong Growth In Just Two Years
It held an anniversary event with the theme “Beyond 30,000, Celebrating Every Journey | One Million Forward”, bringing together customers, dealer partners, business partners and members of the media to celebrate the milestone.
The occasion also included the ceremonial handover of 20 new JAECOO J5 SUVs to customers.
According to OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia Head Chris Tan, the milestone reflects the trust of more than 32,000 Malaysian customers while marking the beginning of the company’s next phase of growth through an expanded model range and accelerated electrification efforts.
The Popularity of JAECOO J5
One of the brand’s strongest-performing models has been the JAECOO J5, which was launched in Malaysia in March 2026.
The premium SUV has recorded more than 2,500 deliveries within its first four months, making it one of the company’s key volume contributors this year.
NEV Sales Up 843%
OMODA | JAECOO said its electrification strategy has gained significant momentum in the first half of 2026.
The company delivered 2,300 NEVs during H1 2026, compared with 244 units in the same period last year, representing an 843% year-on-year increase.
The latest figures underline growing demand for the brand’s electrified models as it continues expanding its presence in Malaysia.
CarTok Editor’s Note
OMODA | JAECOO has managed to climb into Malaysia’s top five automotive brands in a relatively short time, reflecting how aggressively Chinese carmakers are reshaping the local market with the right products at the right prices.
The arrival of the J5 EV also broadens the brand’s powertrain strategy rather than replacing existing models, allowing it to compete across ICE, PHEV and EV segments as consumer preferences continue to evolve.
