OMODA & JAECOO EVs Launched in Pakistan | Local Assembly & Prices 2025
In a bold and promising move for Pakistan’s automotive industry, two new electric vehicle (EV) brands—OMODA and JAECOO—have officially launched in the country. Backed by NextGen Auto, a subsidiary of the Nishat Group, these futuristic electric SUVs made their grand debut in August 2025 at a star-studded event in Lahore.
This marks a turning point for Pakistan’s shift toward clean energy mobility and places the country firmly on the path to becoming a regional hub for electric car production and usage.
The Big Reveal: OMODA E5 and JAECOO J6 Steal the Show
The event showcased two flagship models:
OMODA E5: Where Style Meets Efficiency
OMODA’s E5 is an all-electric SUV that blends bold aesthetics with powerful performance. It is equipped with a 61 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery, offering a driving range of around 505 kilometers on a full charge (measured under NEDC standards). The vehicle delivers 150 kW (204 horsepower) and a torque of 340 Nm, which makes it a great fit for both city roads and highway cruising.
Designed with aerodynamics and safety in mind, it features multiple driving modes—Eco, Normal, and Sport—making it adaptable to diverse driving conditions in Pakistan.
JAECOO J6: A Compact Powerhouse for Urban Lifestyles
The JAECOO J6 is a sleek, futuristic electric SUV tailored for modern-day drivers who seek comfort, intelligence, and design innovation. It comes with smart features such as Adaptive Matrix LED headlights, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and ventilated disc brakes that enhance safety and control.
This SUV is not only energy-efficient but also loaded with smart technology, providing a balance between innovation and practicality.
Local Assembly: A Game-Changer for Affordability
One of the most exciting aspects of this launch is the commitment to local assembly. NextGen Auto has announced a major investment exceeding $100 million to establish a dedicated electric vehicle production facility in Faisalabad. Local production is expected to begin by November 2025, which will significantly reduce car prices and enhance accessibility for Pakistani consumers.
This move also means more job creation, transfer of technology, and a chance to develop an indigenous EV ecosystem.
Why This Launch Is Important for Pakistan
- Environmental Impact: With rising concerns about climate change and pollution, shifting toward EVs like the OMODA E5 and JAECOO J6 supports a greener, more sustainable Pakistan.
- Fuel Independence: As electric cars reduce dependence on imported fuels, this can help stabilize the economy and control inflationary pressure caused by global oil price hikes.
- Advanced Mobility: These vehicles offer smart driving experiences, with sensors, automation, and AI features previously unavailable in Pakistan’s mainstream market.
- Youth Appeal: The styling and tech of these models target the urban middle and upper-middle class youth—tech-savvy individuals who desire eco-conscious yet stylish transport.
What You Can Expect
Prices
While exact final prices may vary, the OMODA E5 is estimated to be priced around PKR 8.9 million, making it one of the most competitively priced electric SUVs in its class. The JAECOO J6 is expected to be in a similar range, depending on trim level and options.
After-Sales Support
NextGen Auto is working on establishing a reliable after-sales service network. With assembly happening locally, parts availability, technical support, and maintenance are expected to become faster and more affordable.
The Future of EVs in Pakistan
This launch is just the beginning. Future models, including plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and fully electric sedans and compact cars, are expected in the coming years. With the government offering incentives on EV imports and infrastructure, like fast-charging stations, the environment is ripe for expansion.
There’s also growing awareness among consumers about the long-term savings and environmental benefits of EVs. Brands like OMODA and JAECOO are tapping into this mindset shift by offering feature-packed vehicles that don’t compromise on performance or style.
Final Thoughts
The arrival of OMODA and JAECOO electric vehicles is a welcome step in Pakistan’s journey toward sustainable mobility. With smart design, impressive specs, and the promise of local manufacturing, these EVs are poised to become popular choices for Pakistani consumers seeking innovation and value.
Whether you’re an EV enthusiast or just someone exploring better transportation options, these new launches deserve a spot on your radar. The future is not just electric—it’s happening right now in Pakistan.
