Jaecoo J5 EV hits 4,000 orders as brand posts 3,500 sales in March alone

The Jaecoo J5 EV has surpassed 4,000 orders in Australia. After reaching its first 2,000 orders over three months, the second 2,000 came in less than two weeks - a pace that caught even the brand off guard.

Roy Munoz, Chief Commercial Officer at Omoda Jaecoo Australia, credited both the team and the product. "Recording 2000 J5 orders in three months was an incredible effort and to add a further 2000 in under 2 weeks is truly a remarkable effort by the team," he said. "Omoda Jaecoo provide Aussie buyers premium products that offer cutting-edge technology at an affordable price tag and the J5 continues to resonate with customers as it ticks all the right boxes."

The J5 isn't carrying the brand on its own. Omoda Jaecoo recorded more than 3,500 orders across its full range in March alone.
