The JAC Motors brand hits the Philippines
We’re thrilled to see the JAC brand making inroads into new markets. The recent unveiling at the 2024 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) marked JAC Motors’ triumphant return to the Philippine automotive scene, in collaboration with Astara Philippines.
Introducing an impressive lineup of six all-new models, JAC Motors is the latest Chinese automaker to join the growing throng vying for a slice of the Philippine car market. David Zhang, Vice President of JAC Motors, emphasised the strategic and practical significance of the Philippine market. ‘’In the future, JAC will strictly adhere to the user-centric business philosophy and bolster the relationship with Astara to provide better products and a superior service experience for Filipino users.”
JAC’s Fresh Six-Vehicle Lineup
Leading this charge is the exceptional JAC JS6, positioned as the flagship compact crossover. With a potent 1.5-litre turbocharged gasoline engine, delivering an impressive 133kW and 280 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the JS6 offers a driving experience that’s both thrilling and engaging.
The JS6’s futuristic exterior design and luxurious interior amenities, including wireless smartphone charging and a stunning 24.6-inch dual-screen display, elevate its appeal to unprecedented levels.
Joining the lineup of the agile and versatile vehicles is the JAC JS4. Despite its compact dimensions, the JS4 packs a punch with its spirited performance, courtesy of a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine delivering 108kW and 210 Nm of torque. Add to that features like automatic climate control and seamless smartphone integration, and you have a compelling option that doesn’t compromise on comfort or convenience.
For families in search of spaciousness without sacrificing style, the JAC JS8 Pro is the quintessential choice, boasting a captivating design language and a plethora of advanced features.
From its panoramic sunroof to its comprehensive driver assist systems, every aspect of the JS8 Pro is meticulously crafted to cater to the discerning needs of modern buyers. And with its potent 1.5-liter engine and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the JS8 Pro ensures the perfect blend of power and efficiency for every journey.
JAC T8 and T9
JAC also displayed two all-new pickup trucks, T8 Pro and T9. While both trucks excel in off-road capabilities, they cater to distinct demographics: the T8 is tailored for fleet owners and business applications, whereas the T9 angles on a more luxurious lifestyle.
Also making its debut as the first JAC EV in the country is the Ytterby EV, a highly capable electric vehicle that redefines eco-friendly mobility with its impressive range and advanced features. It was reported that official sales would begin in August 2024.
