The Jaecoo J5 is one of Australia's most affordable SUVs following the recent introduction of petrol-powered variants.
After arriving here in electric guise in January, priced at $36,990 before on-road costs, Omoda Jaecoo Australia launched the petrol-powered J5 small SUV range in June.
There’s just one piece left of the puzzle: a hybrid, which Omoda Jaecoo Australia says is coming soon.
