A budget-friendly subcompact SUV

CELEBRATING 60 years in the automotive industry, JAC Motors has grown from a truck manufacturer in 1964 to a global player in the passenger vehicle market. Recently, JAC Philippines launched the all-new JS2 PRO, a sleek and affordable subcompact SUV aimed at first-time car buyers and budget-conscious drivers. Priced competitively at P895,000, this new model offers a blend of style, safety, and technology, making it a standout option in its class.

The JS2 PRO is designed for everyday use, whether for daily commutes or weekend family trips. With features that elevate it beyond typical hatchbacks and sedans, this SUV delivers an engaging driving experience without complexity. It combines practical amenities with thoughtful design to ensure comfort and enjoyment on every journey.

The JS2 PRO is powered by a 1.5-liter VVT engine.

The JS2 PRO boasts a modern design with height-adjustable, automatic LED headlamps that include a follow-me-home function, daytime running lights, and front and rear fog lamps. The SUV also features roof rails and a shark fin antenna, adding a sleek touch to its overall aesthetic.

Measuring 4,149 mm in length, 1,750 mm in width, and 1,566 mm in height, the JS2 PRO comfortably seats up to five passengers. Its 150-liter trunk provides ample space for cargo, while a 42-liter fuel tank helps minimize fuel stops, making it ideal for both city driving and road trips.

Under the hood, the JS2 PRO is powered by a 1.5-liter VVT engine, delivering 103 horsepower and 137 Newton-meters of torque. Paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), this SUV is both responsive and fuel-efficient, offering an enjoyable ride for daily commutes and longer journeys.

The JS2 PRO features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam semi-independent rear suspension for a smooth ride. Electric power steering ensures easy handling and maneuverability, especially in urban settings.

Inside, the SUV combines comfort with modern technology. A leather-wrapped, height-adjustable steering wheel provides an ergonomic driving experience, while the 9-inch LCD touchscreen integrates seamlessly with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The cabin is kept cool with automatic air conditioning, enhancing the overall driving experience.
