Jaecoo J5 HEV Prices Up Rs300,000 From October 1 as J7 Gets Rs500,000 Cut

NexGen Auto has revised the prices of its Jaecoo lineup in Pakistan, delivering mixed news for buyers. The Jaecoo J5 HEV price rises Rs300,000 from October 1, while the J7 Premium gets Rs500,000 cheaper.

The changes follow the government's recent revision of the sales tax regime. A price notice issued by NexGen Auto on September 14, 2026, laid out the new ex-factory rates.

Both J5 HEV variants become more expensive from the start of October. The J7 Premium, in contrast, already became cheaper in mid-September.

New Jaecoo J5 HEV Prices Effective October 1

The Jaecoo J5 HEV Comfort will now cost Rs6.999 million. That is up from Rs6.699 million, a straight increase of Rs300,000.

The Jaecoo J5 HEV Premium moves from Rs7.699 million to Rs7.999 million. It carries the same Rs300,000 hike as its sibling.

The revised prices apply to all bookings made on or after October 1, 2026. Dealers have been told to quote the new rates to fresh customers.

The J5 HEV is one of the few hybrid SUVs in its price bracket. Even after the increase, it undercuts several rivals in the local market.

For context, hybrid options from other brands sit much higher. The price gap keeps the J5 HEV attractive for buyers who want hybrid economy without a luxury badge.

Buyers should note that freight and transit insurance are not included. The official price sheet adds Rs55,000 per car for freight and insurance.

J7 Premium Becomes Rs500,000 Cheaper

There is good news for premium crossover lovers. The Jaecoo J7 Premium has received a price cut of Rs500,000.

Its ex-factory price has fallen from Rs10.499 million to Rs9.999 million. The reduction took effect earlier, on September 14, 2026.

That brings the J7 Premium under the psychologically important Rs10 million mark. For many buyers, that changes the math on a purchase decision.

The Omoda 7 Premium, the other model in the NexGen stable, remains unchanged. It continues at Rs10.649 million with no revision.

Dealerships were instructed to update customer quotations immediately after the cut. Anyone quoted the old J7 price after September 14 should ask for the revised figure.

What Existing Booking Holders Must Do Before September 30

NexGen Auto has spelled out clear rules for customers who already booked a J5 HEV. The key date to remember is September 30, 2026.

Buyers who paid in full before October 1 are fully protected. They will be invoiced at the old price with no extra charge, regardless of delivery date.

Partial payers have a narrower window. They can keep the old price only if the remaining balance reaches NexGen Auto by September 30.

If the full payment is not received by the deadline, the new price applies automatically. That means an extra Rs300,000 from October 1, no matter when the booking was made.

New customers could also lock the old rate before September 30. That required full payment by the deadline and was subject to dealer quota availability.

The minimum booking amount is 20 percent of the price. At the new rates, that works out to Rs1,399,800 for the Comfort and Rs1,599,800 for the Premium.

Buyers are advised to get everything in writing from their dealer. Ask for written proof of your payment status and the applicable deadline before sending any more money.

New bookings made before September 30 could also secure the old rate. That option needed full payment by the deadline and depended on dealer quota availability. Confirmation from NexGen Auto was required in each case.

Why NexGen Auto Revised the Prices

The revision traces back to tax policy, not company strategy. The government recently changed the applicable sales tax regime for vehicles.

NexGen Auto's September 14 notice cited those tax changes directly. Carmakers across Pakistan are adjusting prices as the new regime beds in.

The J5 HEV, being a hybrid, sits in a sensitive tax bracket. Small changes in duty or sales tax structure translate into large swings in retail price.

The J7 Premium cut suggests its tax treatment moved in the opposite direction. Buyers of that model are the unexpected winners of the revision.

Market watchers say more brands may follow with their own revisions. Pakistan's auto sector is still absorbing the full impact of the tax changes.

For now, Jaecoo buyers face a simple choice. Act before the deadline and save Rs300,000, or pay the new Jaecoo J5 HEV price from October.
