Daha Auto, a member of the GHK Group of Companies, has introduced the JMEV brand to Brunei with the launch of the all-electric Elight sedan at the Centre Atrium, The Mall Gadong.

Jiangxi Jiangling Group New Energy Vehicle (JMEV), headquartered in Nanchang, China, is a joint venture owned by Groupe Renault, Jiangling Motors Corporation Group (JMCG) and China Agricultural Development Construction Fund Corporation.

Originally established in 2015 as a subsidiary of JMCG, brand was reorganised as a joint venture in July 2019 following Groupe Renault's acquisition of a majority stake.

The Elight is powered by a 56.31 kWh battery, offering a claimed driving range of up to 501 km on a single charge.

Power is delivered by a 165 kW permanent magnet electric motor producing 210 Nm of torque, enabling the sedan to accelerate from 0-100km/h in under 8.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 140km/h.

The Elight supports both AC and DC charging. A full charge using AC power takes approximately eight to 10 hours, while DC fast charging can replenish the battery from 30%-80% in around 25 minutes.

Exterior features include Matrix LED headlamps, LED daytime running lights, a panoramic glass roof, rain-sensing wipers, heated and power-folding side mirrors, keyless entry and 17-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the Elight is equipped with a 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, a seven-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless smartphone charging, a six-speaker audio system, power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, rear air vents, USB charging ports and premium interior trim.

The vehicle is backed by a five-year/150,000km vehicle warranty and an eight-year/150,000km high-voltage battery warranty.

To mark the launch, the first 10 customers purchasing the Elight will receive a 7 kW home AC wall charger, window tinting and a BND 2,000 (US$ 1,550) cash voucher.

Following the launch, Daha Auto is holding a four-day public roadshow at the Centre Atrium until July 19th, 2026, where visitors can view the Elight, learn about its EV technology and discuss ownership and financing options.

GHK Motors General Manager Brandon Tay Kaixin attended the launch event.
