PEVS 2024: Jaecoo EJ6 makes PH debut

MANILA: The Jaecoo EJ6 has made its official debut in the country at the recently-concluded 12th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit.

The fully-electric sport utility vehicle made its public debut at the three-day event after the initial batch of units arrived last October 21.

Known as the iCar 03, the Jaecoo EJ6 was developed under the brand's “off-road trendy” design philosophy.

Per the Jaecoo’s Philippine distributor, the model is built to “navigate various terrains including steep mountain slopes, water, and forests.”

Specifications

Aesthetics

The Jaecoo EJ6 measures 4,406 millimeters (mm) in length, 1,910 mm in width, and 1,715 mm in height —with wheelbase of 2,715 mm.

Its boxy look complements its inverted L-shaped front illumination, huge front bumpers, extended wheel arches, as well as black accents found on the pillars, and side mirrors.

Inside, the Jaecoo EJ6 is outfitted with a 9.2-inch instrument panel, 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor, 50-watt Qi wireless charger, panoramic glass roof, and an optional 12-speaker Infinity sound system.

Powertrain

Offered in rear-wheel- and all-wheel-drive options, the Jaecoo EJ6 was made with a six-in-one motor system.

Below are the maximum churns of the vehicle based on its mill options:

Jaecoo EJ6 mill options	Power (in horsepower)	Torque (in Newton-meters)
Rear wheel drive (RWD)	185	220
All wheel drive (AWD)	275	385

Aside from powertrain, the vehicle also has two battery options — with the RWD version fitted with 65.69 kilowatt-hour (kWh) and the other, 69.77 kWh (both made up of lithium iron phosphate). Amid powertrain-battery differences, both trims offer a range of as much as 421 kilometers.

Further the model can accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour from rest in less than seven seconds.

“We are excited to introduce to the Philippine market another innovation that exhibits JAECOO’s global automotive engineering DNA. We are optimistic that the arrival of EJ6 in the Philippines will help usher in a new era of sustainable mobility in the country,” Omoda and Jaecoo Philippines Country Director Marco Chen was quoted as saying.
