For many new car buyers, a crossover SUV is often the top choice for their first vehicle. After all, what better car to take on our city roads’ challenges like rough roads, deep potholes, and even floods like an SUV? However, many of these are typically priced above their budget.
Thankfully, JAC Philippines has an affordable option in the form of the JS2 Pro. This newly-launched model is a sleek and affordable subcompact SUV designed to meet the needs of first-time car buyers and those seeking a quality vehicle on a budget. Impressively priced at P895,000, the all-new JS2 Pro delivers essential qualities that matter: a stylish design, a comprehensive safety suite, and technology that enhances every drive.
While it shares a price point with typical hatchbacks and sedans, the JS2 Pro is made to go beyond expectations of that class, yet still feel special without being complicated.
Stylish and functional
The JS2 Pro’s exterior design has height-adjustable, automatic LED headlamps with a follow-me-home function, daytime running lamps, and front/rear fog lamps for enhanced visibility. It also has a roof rail and a shark fin antenna.
The JS2 Pro comfortably accommodates up to five passengers. Its 150-liter trunk capacity ensures ample space for groceries, luggage, and more, while the 42-liter fuel tank cuts the need for frequent gassing up.
Performance and efficiency
Under the hood is a 1.5L VVT engine, delivering 103-horsepower and 137-Nm of torque, ensuring a responsive and enjoyable driving experience. The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) enhances fuel efficiency, making it an ideal choice for daily commuters and budget-conscious drivers alike.
Featuring MacPherson strut independent front suspension and torsion beam semi-independent rear suspension, the JS2 Pro provides a smooth and comfortable ride feel. Coupled with electric power steering, drivers can expect responsive handling and ease of maneuverability in urban settings.
Technology inside
The JS2 Pro has a well-appointed interior that combines comfort and modern technology. It has a leather-wrapped steering wheel that is height-adjustable and multifunctional for optimal driving comfort. The nine-inch LCD touchscreen is seamlessly integrated with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for a more connected experience. The cabin environment is also ensured pleasurable with automatic air conditioning.
Its comprehensive suite of features includes driver and front passenger airbags, and advanced safety systems such as tire pressure monitoring, ABS, EBD, electronic stability control, hydraulic brake assist, and hill-start assist. Parking this vehicle is also made easier with four parking sensors paired with a reverse camera.
