Jaecoo 5 BEV and Jaecoo 8 Super Hybrid Officially Launch in Singapore

Singapore’s automotive scene just got a serious double shot of ambition. On 5 May 2026, Vertex Automobile — the sole distributor of Omoda Jaecoo vehicles here — officially launched two new models: the all-electric Jaecoo 5 BEV and the plug-in hybrid Jaecoo 8 Super Hybrid 7-Seater SUV. It’s a twin launch that signals just how quickly Omoda Jaecoo has grown into a force to be reckoned with.

The numbers speak for themselves: the brand hit 1 million units sold globally in just three years, earning the title of the world’s fastest-growing car brand. Right here in Singapore, Omoda Jaecoo recorded a jaw-dropping nearly 600% year-on-year sales increase, ranking as the 3rd best-selling EV brand in Q1 2026.

Jaecoo 5 BEV: Electric with an Edge

The Jaecoo 5 BEV is built for drivers who want a pure-electric SUV that’s sharp, confident, and unapologetically bold. With its off-road-inspired exterior and a feature-rich cabin, the J5 punches well above its class — and at $169,999, it’s priced to compete.

Key highlights include a 402 km WLTP combined range, 155 kW of power with 11 kW AC charging, and class-leading 19 ADAS functions — one of the most comprehensive safety suites in its segment. The cabin is equally thoughtful, with pet-friendly Eco materials, a dedicated Pet Mode, Camping Mode, and even a Karaoke function for when the road trip calls for a singalong.

If the J5 is about clean city driving, the Jaecoo 8 is about going further — in every sense. This seven-seater Super Hybrid SUV pairs a turbocharged petrol engine with instant electric torque to deliver 315 kW of combined power and a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 5.8 seconds. Oh, and it’ll do up to 1,200 km on a full tank and charge — range anxiety, well and truly gone.

Inside, the Jaecoo 8 goes full luxury: CDC Magnetic Levitation Suspension that reads the road in milliseconds, massage and ventilated seats for every passenger, and a flexible three-row cabin that adapts to family life without compromise. The Jaecoo 8 starts from $234,999.
