JAC Philippines Launches All-New JS2 PRO: The Ideal Subcompact SUV for New Drivers on a Budget

Evolving from its origins as a truck manufacturer in 1964, JAC Motors has made significant strides in the passenger vehicle segment since 2002. The brand has established itself as a leader in the Chinese automotive market, the largest in the world. Recently, JAC Philippines unveiled the All-New JS2 PRO, a sleek and budget-friendly subcompact SUV designed specifically for first-time car buyers and those seeking a reliable vehicle without breaking the bank. Priced at PHP 895,000, the JS2 PRO offers exceptional value with its stylish design, comprehensive safety features, and technology designed to enhance the driving experience.

The All-New JS2 PRO is tailored to be an everyday vehicle, seamlessly fitting into the daily routines of its owners. Whether it’s commuting to work or embarking on weekend adventures with friends and family, this SUV aims to enhance every moment on the road. While it competes with typical hatchbacks and sedans in price, the JS2 PRO sets itself apart by providing additional features and a unique driving experience that feels special without being overly complex.

The SUV’s modern exterior is designed to make a statement, featuring height-adjustable automatic LED headlamps with a follow-me-home function, daytime running lights, and front/rear fog lamps for improved visibility. The sleek profile is complemented by practical elements such as roof rails and a shark fin antenna.
