What are the key features of JAC JS4?

The JAC JS4 is the first crossover to be launched in the JS series. It replaced the S4 in JAC’s portfolio. The 2025 JAC JS4 follows a new design language. The front looks sleek with a compact grille. At a time when even hatchbacks are sporting a dominant grille to forge an aggressive look, JAC’s designers seem to be following a contrarian path. The lower end of the bonnet merges with the bumper that houses the grille. The upper sides get smart angular headlights. The 2025 JAC JS4 gets all-round LED lighting. The car runs on 17-inch wheels that seem a bit small. 18-inch wheels would have better suited the dimensions. 

The rear end of the 2025 JAC JS4 is less prominent than the front. The taillights run across the entire width of the boot. It looks pretty, particularly in the night. The rear part also gets fog lights that are nicely embedded in the bumper. There’s a plastic diffuser with a metal look. There’s a small cut-out in the bottom for the slim exhaust pipe. Unlike many other Chinese crossovers, the 2025 JAC JS4 doesn’t get any fake tailpipe. The car comes with a shark fin antenna and a factory-fitted roof rack.

The interior of the 2025 JAC JS4 is more inclined toward practicality. The cabin is upholstered in faux-leather to lend a premium feel. A lot of hard plastics have been used in the cabin to enhance durability. The door sill is leather wrapped and so is the central console. The central armrest and the multifunction steering wheel are also wrapped in leather. The dashboard is dominated by a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system connected to a six-speaker audio unit. The screen is bright and the icons are easy to operate. But in bright sunlight, the screen’s reflection cause some operational difficulty. The 2025 JAC JS4 gets automatic air-conditioning that cools the cabin pretty fast. There are dedicated rear air vents. Ignition is via a smart key. Unlocking and locking the vehicle is simple via touching the button on the door’s handle. The doors are pretty wide and allow easy entry and exit. The car gets 520 litres of boot space that’s among the biggest in the segment.

Is the JAC JS4 spacious?

With 4,410mm length, 1,800mm width, and 1,660mm height, the 2025 JAC JS4 is a fairly spacious crossover. The driver’s seat is powered. All seats are nicely padded and get back support. The wide windscreen offers a great view of the road. It’s easy to find the most comfortable driving position. The two front seats enjoy the maximum headroom and legroom. Passengers in the rear seat get enough legroom which is probably the best in the segment. The rear seat is bench-type and can actually accommodate three adults without scraping shoulders. The 2025 JAC JS4 gets a flat roof that doesn’t eat into the rear seat’s headroom. The rear seat can be folded to increase the boot space.

What are the engine and transmission options for JAC JS4?

The 2025 JAC JS4 is equipped with a turbocharged, four-cylinder, 1.5-liter petrol engine that produces 147 PS/210 Nm. The motor is mated to a CVT. The transmission is seamless but the powertrain is more focussed on fuel efficiency. The 2025 JAC JS4 doesn’t offer a sporty drive as it’s not meant to be. The power build-up is linear which keeps things smooth. Switching to the ‘S’ gear allows the driver to have more control over the car. The steering wheel isn’t the lightest in class but still manages to carry out single-hand parking manoeuvres. The body roll is well-contained while turning sharp corners. The suspension system does its job nicely to absorb most road imperfections but becomes somewhat bumpy at low speeds. The in-cabin sound insulation should have been better. A bit of buzzing engine noise enters the cabin.  

What is the fuel efficiency of JAC JS4?

The 2025 JAC JS4 offers a real-life mileage of around 11kmpl. 

What safety features does JAC JS4 offer?

The 2025 JAC JS4 has a nice set of safety features. It gets a 360-degree camera that’s a rarity for most cars at this price point. The side cameras switch on whenever the right or left indicator is pressed, practically removing all blind spots. Other safety equipment includes antilock braking, hydraulic brake assist, stability control, and multiple airbags.

What colour options are available for JAC JS4?

The 2025 JAC JS4 is currently available in red, grey, black, blue, and white colours. More colours may be introduced in the future.

Is the JAC JS4 worth buying?

The 2025 JAC JS4 is certainly among the most affordable crossovers in the Philippines market. No other car offers so many features at such a competitive price. The powertrain is efficient and the ride quality is comfortable. It’s spacious and passengers in the rear seat don’t need to frequently readjust their seating position in search of comfort. The 2025 JAC JS4 is definitely worth buying.
