What we know about Jaecoo coming to Gatineau
Rollout plan: Jaecoo's Canadian entry is expected to begin in late 2026 to early 2027, prioritising high-EV-adoption metros first. Gatineau sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros. Quebec is part of the first-wave launch region, which shapes when the J5 EV is likely to be orderable locally.
Certification & import status: Before any sale, the Jaecoo J5 EV must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). New Chinese-made EVs have also faced a 100% import surtax, which directly affects launch timing and pricing. For the current state of play, read our 2026 Chinese EV tariff guide.
Expected Gatineau pricing: Estimated at $35,000 CAD (around $33,000 after Quebec's $2,000 rebate). See the full Jaecoo J5 EV price breakdown for Gatineau.
While you wait: compare the J5 EV against rivals, check the 400 km range against Gatineau winter conditions, and review full specs on the Jaecoo J5 EV page.
