Jaecoo J5 Up Rs 300,000, J7 Down Rs 500,000

Jaecoo has updated its Pakistan prices with a mixed result for buyers. According to sources, both J5 HEV variants are now Rs. 300,000 more expensive, while the J7 Premium has been cut by Rs. 500,000.

The change means buyers looking at the J5 face a tighter deadline, while J7 shoppers may find a better entry point than before.

New Jaecoo prices in Pakistan

According to a source report at the price update, the revised ex-factory prices are:

• Jaecoo J5 HEV Comfort: Rs. 6,999,000

- Earlier price: Rs. 6,699,000

- Increase: Rs. 300,000

• Jaecoo J5 HEV Premium: Rs. 7,999,000

- Earlier price: Rs. 7,699,000

- Increase: Rs. 300,000

• Jaecoo J7 Premium: Rs. 9,999,000

- Earlier price: Rs. 10,499,000

- Decrease: Rs. 500,000

The source report says the J5 HEV price change will take effect from October 1, 2026. The revised J7 Premium price became effective from September 14, 2026.

Deadline for J5 buyers with partial payments

For people who already booked a J5 HEV and have only made part of the payment, the timing matters.

According to the source report, such buyers can keep the current price if they clear the full remaining amount by September 30, 2026. That means existing bookers need to confirm their outstanding balance quickly if they want to avoid the higher price from October 1.

This reported price-lock option appears to apply to eligible existing bookings, not every new booking. Buyers should ask their dealer for written proof of the deadline and payment status before sending any money.

Why prices changed

The source report links the revision to the new tax regime. It does not give a tax rate or a government notice, so that part should be treated as the reason reported by the source, not as a full policy explanation.

Still, tax changes can affect hybrid, imported, and assembled vehicle pricing in Pakistan. That is why one model can get costlier while another becomes cheaper, depending on how the company adjusts each variant.

For readers, the main point is simple: this is not a single across-the-board increase. Jaecoo has raised both J5 HEV variants but cut the J7 Premium, so the impact differs by model.

What this means for buyers

The J7 Premium’s lower ex-factory price may make it more tempting for SUV buyers who were already considering the model. But the final amount still depends on registration, insurance, freight, and any dealer charges.

For J5 buyers, the best move is to compare two numbers: the extra Rs. 300,000 increase from October 1 and the cost of clearing any pending balance by September 30. If the old price is still available for an existing booking, a written dealer confirmation is important.

Buyers using financing should also check how the revised ex-factory price changes the loan amount, markup, and insurance cost. The on-road bill can be very different from the showroom price.

As Pakistani car prices keep shifting with taxes, exchange rates, and company reviews, buyers should always ask for a fresh quotation before booking.
