JAC Motors celebrates 60 years with the introduction of the all-new JS6

The JAC Group celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2024 – a testament to its legacy of innovation in passenger and commercial vehicles that has earned the trust of over 10 million customers worldwide.

The automaker was founded on May 20, 1964 as the Hefei Jianghuai Automobile Factory, with trial production of the first JAC truck starting in April 1968. In June 1990, the company achieved a pioneering milestone by producing China’s first bus-specific chassis to help the country’s growing transport sector.

On August 24, 2001, the rebranded JAC Motors was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange to signify its continuous growth. Its first multi-purpose vehicle then rolled off the production line on March 18, 2002, laying a good foundation for the brand as it enters the passenger vehicle segment.

And on January 17, 2008, JAC Motors debuted its first entry into the passenger-car market, the Bingyue sedan. Since then, the brand has achieved notable success across various regions including North America, Middle East, Europe, and most recently, Australia with the introduction of the T9 pickup. JAC Motors has also forged significant partnerships, collaborating with Volkswagen and NIO to produce battery-electric vehicles, and teaming up with Cummins to supply a wide range of engines.

Already renowned for its robust trucks that offer superior value for money, JAC now offers a wide range of high-quality passenger vehicles through JAC Motors Philippines. The brand is part of the local subsidiary of the Astara Group, which is one of the world’s leading mobility providers.

The car you’ve always deserved

Previewed at the 2024 Manila International Auto Show, the JAC JS6 premium SUV is one of the carmaker’s most advanced and innovative models, but for an extremely competitive price that truly exceeds customer expectations.

It is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter, direct-injection inline-4 gasoline engine producing a generous 182 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 300 Newton-meters of torque at 1,800 to 3,500 rpm. This is mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission that offers instant performance and exceptional fuel economy. 

The JS6 is unmistakably a JAC – high-mounted LED daytime running lights and quad-LED headlights help form the brand’s distinctive corporate face that combines high-tech and modern styling cues with classic, elegant lines. Meanwhile, the 160-millimeter ground clearance, 20-degree approach angle and 19-degree departure angle let you tackle rough surfaces with ease.

The JS6 also gets neat touches like an upward-sloping beltline, full-length LED taillights, roof rack and 18-inch alloy wheels, as well as premium features like power-folding side mirrors, panoramic sunroof and electric tailgate.

Inside, the cabin is dominated by two 12.3-inch displays, one for the gauges and driver information and the other for the 8-speaker touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Making journeys in the JS6 even more luxurious are the plush leather upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats, wireless charging pad, dual-zone climate control, 360-degree camera and 60:40 split-folding rear seats. This JAC also doesn’t skimp on safety with six airbags, ISOFIX child-restraint anchors and an Electronic Stability Program.

But what makes the JS6 a true class leader is its Advanced Driver Assistance System that includes an Automatic Emergency Brake System, Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring and Intelligent Remote Light Switch.
