  "account": "The Jaecoo J5 EV has arrived in Malaysia, offering a balance of everyday practicality and advanced technology. This compact electric SUV marks the brand's first BEV model in the country, with a claimed range of up to 461km on the NEDC cycle. Priced at RM118,800, the J5 EV comes equipped with features like Pet Mode, Camping Mode, and 3.3kW V2L capability, which allows the vehicle to power compatible electrical equipment. Inside, a 1.45m panoramic glass roof creates a brighter, more open cabin, and cargo space expands from 35 litres to 480 litres when the rear seats are folded, reaching up to 1,284 litres with all seats removed. The SUV boasts a ground clearance of 174mm and a wading depth of 450mm, while its 155kW electric motor propels it from 0-100kph in 7.7 seconds. With a 58.9kWh lithium iron phosphate battery from CATL, charging takes around seven hours using a compatible charger. The J5 EV also offers a 540-degree HD surround-view system to aid parking, and advanced driver-assistance features including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot detection, autonomous emergency braking, and rear cross-traffic alert. Jaecoo aims to make EV ownership more accessible with a seven-year or 150,000km warranty, and a 10-year or 200,000km warranty for the battery. The SUV is available in three colors and deliveries are set to begin on October 31, with first-time buyers receiving a RM10,000 launch package.",
