Jac s5 eagle who is the manufacturer. New Chinese crossover JAC S5

Chinese car company Jianghuai Automobile Co Ltd or JAC for short returns to the Russian market with two models - and a crossover Jac S5 2017-2018 (photo, price). The latter will be discussed below.

First cars JAC in the Middle Kingdom were produced on the basis of licensed Hyundai models. Then the cooperation between the two manufacturers was suspended, but the Chinese did not hesitate to copy the decisions of their South Korean neighbors even without licenses.

Options and prices JAC S5 2020

So, in the JAC S5 SUV (characteristics), features are clearly visible, although the bumpers and lighting equipment of the car are original. The overall length of the car is 4,475 mm (the size of the wheelbase is 2,645), the width is 1,840, the height is 1,680, the ground clearance (clearance) is 180 millimeters, and the trunk volume varies from 505 to 1,680 liters.

Thus, both in size and price, the S5 is a competitor to another Chinese crossover that has recently appeared in Russia - exploiting the design of the Bavarian BMW X1.

But if the latter took only the exterior design from the source, then the 2016-2017 Jack S5 also copies the ix35 interior - the center console of both cars looks almost identical. True, if you ignore the moral side of the issue, then for buyers of the "Chinese" this is rather a plus.

The base engine for the SUV is a two-liter petrol "four" with a capacity of 136 hp. (150 Nm), and it is paired with a turbocharged version of the same engine, which already produces 176 forces and 235 Nm of torque at the peak. The drive for both modifications is only front, and the box is a five- and six-speed mechanics.

The price of the new Jack S5 2020 in Russia is 799,000 rubles for a car with a more modest engine. But this is immediately a Luxury package with two airbags, ABS, ESP, foglights, an on-board computer, air conditioning, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift lever, an audio system with MP3 and navigation. Top version with a turbocharged engine is estimated at 825,000 rubles.


Today we will provide an overview of the new Chinese crossover JAC S5 2014 - 2015. Representative of the Chinese auto industry JAC company(Jianghuai Automobile Co) is practically unknown to the vast majority of domestic motorists. To date Russian cars the owners encountered only a sedan, and even then in small quantities. At the same time, in China, the models of this company have been in great demand for quite a long time. Moreover, the company's products are supplied to the countries of the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa and South America.

That is why the creators have very high hopes for the Jack C5 crossover - according to the plans of the Chinese auto giant, this particular model should win a considerable share in its segment in our market, and also help them start successful work in Russia. We add that the production of the new JAC S5 sample 2014 is carried out at the facilities of the Ukrainian corporation Bogdan, and the Chinese manufacturer also places great hopes on the conquest of the Ukrainian market.

First of all, JAC S5 is positioned as an alternative domestic cars- the creators claim that it is far superior to Russian cars in terms of options, technical equipment, and cost. Is this really so?

Jack C5 is the so-called transitional link - between budget crossovers and models in the middle price category. First of all, the manufacturer expects to win the attention of buyers who are dissatisfied with the quality of domestic cars and the cheapest Chinese copies, while they do not have enough money (or do not want to spend it) to purchase more expensive models.

The manufacturer prepared for the battle for wallets quite well, for example, a fairly successful design company from Italy, Pininfarina, was involved in the design development. However, at first glance it seems that his appearance (and dimensions) are almost identical to the parameters of the Hyundai ix35. True, upon closer acquaintance with the exterior of the car, it turns out that this is not entirely true: the body has a considerable number of original solutions and elements, and it is almost impossible to find today absolutely unlike other representatives of this family.

So, in front of the car body it looks solid and fast, the headlights are very high. I was surprised by the large, but good looking front bumper, on which round foglights are located, as well as an impressive air intake. The entire body of the new car is “pierced” by rather complex lines, which, nevertheless, look quite harmonious. The lower part of the body - from the edge of the front bumper to the rear bumper, is covered with a wide plastic protection, and looks very good.

The stern of the JAC S5 is completely copied from the Audi Q5, but nevertheless, it looks very impressive: I especially liked the side lights, the original stamping, and the bumper with reflectors. In general, despite the many sophistications in the appearance of the Chinese crossover, it looks much simpler than its "brothers" - which is quite logical, especially considering its cost.

Even the basic equipment of the car is “shoeed” in light-alloy 17-inch wheels with 225/60 R17 tires. At the same time, I was surprised by the decision of the manufacturer regarding the spare wheel - the usual dokatka on a steel disk.

  • The dimensions of the JAC S5 are quite consistent with the parameters of typical representatives of the class: length - 4430 mm, width - 1840 mm, height - 1660 mm, with wheelbase dimensions - 2645 mm.
  • The ground clearance of a car varies depending on the load - with one driver in the cabin it is 200 mm, at full load - at least 180 mm.

On a crossover, you should not even try to storm off-road, due to its front-wheel drive. However, the manufacturer nevertheless decided to indicate its cross-country ability: the exit and entry angles for the car are 22 and 26 degrees, respectively. Curb weight - 1505 kg, the tank holds 55 liters. fuel.

Well, if you look for the individuality of the Chinese crossover in something, it’s in interior design: everything is done surprisingly soundly, the connection of the elements also does not cause the slightest criticism. Note that the interior harmoniously combines elements made in various styles: sporty, futuristic, and also classic. When entering the salon, the first thing that attracts attention is the almost complete absence of the center console, which creates the impression that the dashboard is floating in the void.

The steering wheel is quite simple, however, against its background, the stylish instrument panel looks great, on which 2 deep wells are conveniently placed: a tachometer and a speedometer. In general, a positive impression is enhanced by a good quality color monitor. on-board computer. The seats of the car, both front and rear, are made in the style traditional for the Chinese automotive industry: there is no lateral support, the seats themselves are too flat. The presence of free space is not impressive, however, there is enough space for comfortable accommodation of all passengers.

The basic equipment has two trip computer screens (graphic and color digital); multifunctional (with a minimum set of functions) leather-bound steering wheel, and column adjustment in depth and height.

The front seats received electrically adjustable lumbar support. Also in the basic configuration there are: air conditioning, excellent quality audio system (CD, MP3, USB, AUX, iPod, Bluetooth, 6 speakers), heated electric mirrors, all doors are equipped with electric windows. The developers did not forget about the installation of 6 airbags, as well as ABS, EBD.

The maximum configuration is complemented by leatherette seat trim, a color touchscreen multimedia system monitor, EBA, TCS, HDC and HAC, as well as a power sunroof and climate control.

The luggage compartment of the Chinese crossover holds 500 liters. cargo in standard condition, split backrests folded down rear seats it turns out an almost perfectly flat surface on which 1680 liters can be placed. baggage. The only disadvantage of the luggage compartment is its large loading height.

JAC S5 specifications

The technical characteristics of the new crossover cannot be called outstanding, however, they are quite worthy to fulfill the tasks assigned to the car. Our car will be available with two petrol units:

  • the basic version will receive an atmospheric 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder power unit. Also, this motor is equipped with a DOHC timing belt, and produces 136 hp, with a torque of 190 Nm at 3000 - 4500 rpm. Max Speed a car with such an engine is 180 km / h, with a declared average fuel consumption of about 7.1 liters.
  • The second engine was a more powerful 2.0 liter. (176 hp 235 Nm) turbocharged unit. This motor is capable of speeds up to 190 km / h, with an average fuel consumption on the highway of about 7.7 liters.

Unfortunately, both engines for domestic motorists are available only with a 5-speed manual, which is a significant disadvantage of the car, since every year automatic transmissions are becoming more and more popular with us. Another significant drawback, which is likely to negatively affect the level of sales, can be called its uncontested front-wheel drive, and the absolute unwillingness of the manufacturer to change anything in this situation.

However, the crossover also has advantages that only recognized world giants can boast of (according to the manufacturer's statements). For example, the company's website contains information that this car is one of the most safe cars in all of China - according to the results of the C-NCAP crash test, the crossover received 5 stars. This indicator was achieved thanks to the use of about 0% high-strength steels in the manufacture of the car body, as well as the creation of computer models of deformation zones.

The only fly in the ointment is the fact that C-NCAP is strictly Chinese test, the results of which differ significantly from the European Euro NCAP. We also note that many Chinese cars get results this test 5 stars, but in Europe they do not gain such a high rating.

Of the indisputable advantages of the crossover, we note the suspension: I received a car in front, a multi-link design was installed at the back. The fact that this suspension is used in the vast majority of crossover models, including those of the world's leading manufacturers, is only a confirmation of the correctness of the choice. Chinese manufacturer. The brake system of the car received a disc, on all wheels.

JAC S5 configuration and prices

The start of sales in the territory of the Russian Federation of a new Chinese crossover began a few weeks ago, so there is no information about the cost of all the proposed car trim levels. Only the approximate price of the basic configuration JAC S5 2014 2015 is known - it is 560 thousand rubles. For comparison, we give the cost of a car in neighboring Ukraine: here is the basic configuration of a Chinese crossover with 136 hp. with. the motor is estimated at 139 thousand hryvnia (for conversion into rubles, it is necessary to multiply by 4). The next complete set of the car costs 154 thousand UAH, and the most expensive of the presented complete sets is the Jack C5, which received a turbocharged 176 hp. the motor and all the functions and systems described above will cost 164 thousand UAH.

Cars made in China do not always cause unambiguous feelings among motorists from Russia. If earlier crossovers “made in China” could be operated without problems for no more than 2 years, then today's Chinese cars can be found on the secondary market even after a three-year run. JAC S5 intends to become just such a compact crossover that will continue to destroy the stereotype of low-quality cars from the Middle Kingdom.

JAC is a Chinese auto company quite well-known and recognizable, which, among its numerous automobile concerns China has good chances to stay on the Russian car sites. The Jak concern produces not only passenger cars, but also commercial vehicles, and the C5 model became a kind of transition from a cheap segment to more elite, expensive and status offers.

The exterior of the new Chinese compact crossover Jack c5 – design finds from Pininfarina

To date, the official introduction of the JAC S5 model for Russian consumer was not, therefore, see in the salons this model not yet possible. Looking at the car from various angles, inside and out, it is not difficult to evaluate the design solutions of Chinese engineers and form an opinion about the appearance of the Jack S5:

  • interesting authentic appearance compact crossover - the skillful work of Italian designers;
  • the car looks bright, endowed with a youth style, tonal solutions look life-affirming;
  • when getting acquainted with a car, it is not easy to notice Chinese roots, except that insufficiently high-quality finishing materials give out China;
  • for many who have sat behind the wheel of a crossover, the unconventional placement of the A-pillar is awkward;
  • it’s hard to find fault with the interior, everything looks decent, there is no desire to change anything.

The design solutions implemented in the JAC S5 can become the foundation for good sales, because there are plenty of cars from China in this price range in today's market. If earlier, when choosing a Chinese car, the appearance of the car was not decisive, then the realities of today indicate the opposite. The modern shopper when choosing vehicle relies on appearance and quality. In this regard, the Jack company has seriously worked with the appearance of the C5 compact crossover.

JAC S5 specifications and functionality - the main argument when compared with competitors

If you liked the JAC S5 for its external data, then it would be useful to look under the hood to find out if the car can bring unexpected surprises. Driving a crossover is not tiring and interesting, the controls are located where they should be. From a practical point of view, everything is rational and thought out. On a test drive of the Jack c5, you will immediately notice the distinctive technical features and settings of the Chinese crossover.

Here are some technical features of the Jack S5 model:

  • 136 strong engine in the basic version for the JAC S5, it is represented by a 2-liter power unit;
  • more expensive machine configurations are equipped with a two-liter turbocharged engine that allows you to spin the engine up to 176 horsepower;
  • when developing a soft suspension, the Chinese used their own technologies, it is worth noting that the ride comfort is impressive;
  • in order to eliminate troubles during operation for the Russian automotive market, it is planned to equip the Jak 5C with an electric power steering.

There is no doubt that the JAC S5 will take an important place in your life, will be a nice addition to your image, and will be indispensable when traveling the longest distances.

JAC S5 - an attractive price for a decent car

Good technical characteristics of the crossover and optimistic reviews filled with experience and positive emotions JAC owners S5, will serve as an excellent incentive for the decision to buy this car, but if the JAC S5 car costs more, then no one, even the most ardent fan of Chinese cars, will give preference to a car from China. That is why the low cost of cars made in China is competitive and attracts buyers.

JAC S5 prices are as follows:

  • the version of the car in the basic configuration with an engine without a turbine will cost around 650 thousand rubles;
  • the price of JAC S5 in the second configuration with improved technical characteristics and a turbine will rise to 720 thousand rubles.
Jack c5 is quite unpretentious and easy to use. maintenance, the car’s appetite for fuel is moderate, so you don’t have to worry about overpaying for fuel.

In custody

Provided that the price of JAC S5 remains at the same level, the car can become recognizable and popular in its price segment. A slightly higher cost compared to other models from China is fully justified, because the emphasis is on safety and comfort in the crossover. And the price of such a wonderful car, which came off the Chinese assembly line, is unlikely to become an insurmountable barrier to successful sales in Russia.

The problem of successful positioning Chinese brand Jacques could become an oversaturated market. Almost everyone car factory from China has one or more models in the crossover class.

We continue to get to know Chinese cars, and next in line is the JAC S5 front-wheel drive crossover of the K1 class, which was lit up in 2012 in one of the Guangzhou car dealerships. The first "swallows" of the Chinese manufacturer JAC were made in tandem with the South Korean auto giant Hyundai. Later this cooperation was suspended. However, craftsmen from the Celestial Empire are still ripping off all the successful decisions from their neighbor. The entire range of Jack.

Exterior

The appearance of the car looks very aggressive. Due to the high bumper and considerable grille, the car looks like a rather cocky and intriguing car. This crossover looks a bit like a predatory beast. This vehicle has a streamlined shape, which indicates good aerodynamic performance of the crossover. A lot of work has been done on the exterior of the Jack C5, and the new car looks even more beautiful than its predecessor.

Initially, this can be attributed to the optical headlights, which have become a little larger and look more expressive, and the fog lights do not seem like an odd addition. Optics makes the road well lit, but at the same time does not blind oncoming cars. They are located in small wells, into which air ducts are also inserted, designed to cool the brake discs.

This also applies to the central air intake, which is located almost on the entire front of the car. The intricate lines on the front fairing are continued in the stampings on the hood and the ribs that are hardly visible to the eye, located on the side of the body surface. The front of the JAC contains elements of an off-road vehicle that looks brutal and sophisticated enough to stand out in the traffic.

Also, many will like that passengers who sit in the second row will no longer experience discomfort, since the roof no longer has the previous shape, and it is not littered with much, which will provide enough free space, especially for the head. It is also worth highlighting discs with a diameter of 17 inches, which look very stylish and which are “shoeed” in low-profile tires, the width of which is 2,100 mm. However spare wheel a simple one was installed - a dokatka on a steel disk.

If we evaluate the stern, then there will be contradictory points. The stern, by the way, is very similar to german car Audi Q5. It is worth turning your attention to an interesting form marker lamps, a straight line and their stamping located below. However, the rear bumper itself, which also has horizontal reflectors, is made almost exactly the same as that of the German brand.

Approximately in this way, the efforts of design masters, who are recognized by the whole world, turned out to be the look modern machine, which was named Jack C5. On the side, the Chinese looks pretty good like the Hyundai ix35, but it looks much simpler than korean crossover. The bottom of the body, from the edge of the bumper installed in front, the threshold, door panels and up to the rear bumper, is covered by a plastic protection, which is quite wide.

Interior

In general, if you look at the photographs, then everything is done in a fairly high-quality style. Paying attention to the dashboard, you get the feeling that it is "hanging" in the air. The steering wheel was installed quite ordinary and unremarkable, but the instrument panel looks very stylish and has two deep wells, which are highlighted in a pleasant blue color for the eyes. They fit the speedometer and engine speed sensors.

All this was supplemented by a color screen of the on-board computer. Do not forget that the development of the JAC S5 interior was carried out by Italian specialists, which, as you know, everyone can do. Among the finishing materials used, leather, leatherette, fabric trim, the presence of aluminum, polished plastic can be distinguished.

It is worth saying right away that bad smell, which everyone avoids, is completely absent and it is quite pleasant to touch it. The audio system settings buttons are conveniently located, for example, the volume setting was brought to the video. Moreover, in order to start the power unit, there is no need to constantly search for the ignition switch, because the engine is started by pressing a button.

Let's move on to the seats of the 1st and 2nd rows, it is worth noting that it is quite comfortable to sit on them, in general, they are made according to the standard scheme for cars made in China - they are flat in shape and lack lateral support. The driver's seat has an electric adjustment drive. Although the free space is not a wagon, but for a comfortable ride, it is quite enough.

The standard equipment also includes a steering wheel with a braided leather rim, the ability to adjust the steering wheel in height and depth, electrically adjustable lumbar support for the seats installed in front, the presence of an air conditioner, an improved audio system that supports CD, MP3, USB, AUX, iPod, bluetooth, power windows for all doors and 6 airbags.

Located in the middle of the display, it has a touch input function, without which it seems already today it is simply impossible to do. When purchasing a Jack in the maximum modification, there will be an electric drive for the back smoothing device, and control keys will be installed on the steering wheel. In addition, many airbags will be introduced.

The luggage compartment has about 500 liters of free space, but that's not all, if necessary, you can increase the free space if you fold the individual rear seatbacks, while getting about 1,680 liters. It is interesting that the cargo area will come out this way, which will be flat, but with a considerable loading height. Generally speaking, the interior of the car has nothing superfluous, but nothing missing.

Suggestions for comfort:

  • Adjustable steering column;
  • ZF electric power steering;
  • The presence of a multi-wheel;
  • Steering wheel trim in leather;
  • The presence of an air conditioner;
  • All doors have power windows;
  • External rear-view mirrors are electrically operated and heated;
  • Additional lighting of the luggage compartment;
  • Chair adjustment in six directions;
  • Radio receiver with USB support;
  • 6 columns;
  • Glasses of athermal assembly;
  • Rear parking sensors;
  • Armrest located in the center;
  • Cup holder for the driver and the passenger sitting next to him;
  • The presence of an ashtray and a cigarette lighter;
  • Auxiliary illumination of an interior and doors.

Specifications

power unit

The standard power unit for the Jac C5 is a two-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with a volume of 2.0 liters DOHC, issuing 136 horsepower power. It helps the car reach a top speed of 180 km/h. Manufacturers claim fuel consumption at the level of 7.1 liters only at a speed of 90 km / h. The car overcomes the first hundred in 8.7 seconds. The second comes with a turbine, the same 2-liter volume that is capable of accelerating power to 176 horsepower.

It allows you to reach the limit mark of 190 km / h and fuel consumption will be 7.7 liters. Their work is synchronized with a single 5-speed manual gearbox. All versions of JAC S5 vehicles will have ABS and EBD. A hydraulic power steering was also installed, so there will be no need to spend a lot of effort turning the steering wheel. An electric power steering can be ordered as an option.

Dimensions

The JAC S5 is 4,430 mm long, 1,840 mm wide and 1,660 mm high. Wheel base 2 645 mm. If the driver is inside the car, then the ground clearance is at least 200 mm, if the whole car is loaded, this figure will decrease by only 20 mm, which in the end is 180 mm. The clearance is really very good. With it, you can not be afraid to ride on our roads.

Options and prices

This crossover is available in Russian Federation only in one modification - "Luxury". Model with a two-liter atmospheric type power unit, received equipment: 2nd airbags, ABS and a distribution system braking force, support for climate control, navigation and audio systems, tire pressure sensors. They ask for it from 799,000 rubles. For a more powerful version with the same engine, but already turbocharged, they ask from 869,000 rubles. Its equipment, among other things, included a driver assistance system for ascents and descents, ESP and leather interior trim.

It is noteworthy that even in the standard configuration two screens will be installed, the first of them is graphic and color, and the second is digital. One of the displays will serve to track your route. The top-end equipment will boast a high-quality sound system, a memory function for the seats, and the driver's and passenger's seats with lumbar support, which is very convenient for those who spend a lot of time on the road. Six AirBags will also be present. The car also has a sunroof.

Summing up

In the end, I would like to say that you should not expect anything beyond the possible from such a Chinese model. After all, an average power unit is installed here, the only one (which is good) mechanical box gear shifting, front-wheel drive only. However, despite all this, the car has a pretty good exterior, an interesting and original interior with two screens, one of which supports touch input.

There is enough free space in the car, which can be said about the luggage compartment, so you can safely go for walks with your whole family. A good ground clearance will give you the opportunity to feel confident and give you an advantage over competitors. It is worth noting the acceptable pricing policy of the company, which a citizen of the Russian Federation can afford.

JAC S5 photo

Cars brands JAC(Jianghuai Automobile Co) are little known in our country and their "invasion" of the Russian automotive market still planned. But meanwhile, in China, this brand is very popular (one of the ten best-selling), and most of the JAC models are recommended by the Chinese government for export to Europe ...

The S5 crossover occupies a special place in this series - it is this model that many experts predict good prospects for (including in our market), so it makes sense to get to know this car a little closer.

The JAC S5 crossover belongs to a small transitional “layer” between budget models and mid-range SUVs. The car is designed for those who are not satisfied with the equipment of “budget versions”, but, alas, there are no funds for more expensive crossovers (with a big name) - in this case, the JAC S5 can become good option, capable of satisfying the needs of the buyer both in terms of equipment, and in terms of technical performance, and, of course, in terms of price ... But this is in words, but what is it in reality?

But in fact, we get a car, the design of which was developed by the Italian design bureau "Pininfarina" - which gave the JAC S5 a very attractive appearance with some elements of sportiness (however, in many respects reminiscent of the Hyundai ix35).

Crossover dimensions are 4475 mm long, 1840 mm wide and 1680 mm high. The wheelbase length is 2645 mm, and the height ground clearance is 210 mm (which is quite good for Russian roads).

At the presentations, the Chinese pay special attention to the body structure with programmable deformation zones (81% consisting of strong steel grades) - which makes the car one of the most “rigid” among Chinese competitors. Moreover, according to the results crash test C-NCAP crossover JAC S5 earned five stars.

The interior of the JAC S5 is "part futuristic, part sporty and part elegant" - resulting in an unclassifiable design mix with an abundance of bulges and relief on the front panel, the almost complete absence of the console, the original dashboard and a not-so-impressive steering wheel.

It is difficult to judge the quality of the interior trim, but in the photo everything looks pretty solidly and of high quality. By the way, the JAC S5 interior is designed for five passengers, and its trunk is able to “swallow” about 505 liters of cargo.

In the Chinese market, the JAC S5 crossover is offered with three options for gasoline engines:

  • Basic modifications are equipped with a four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 2.0 liters. Equipped with a DOHC timing belt, this motor is capable of developing 136 hp. maximum power, as well as to deliver 180 Nm of torque in the range from 3000 to 4500 rpm.
  • The following two units are equipped with a turbocharging system and are based on Japanese engines (licensed by Mitsubishi):
    • The youngest of the turbo units has four cylinders with a total displacement of 1.8 liters and is capable of developing about 163 hp. maximum power. The torque of this motor is 235 Nm at a peak reached at 2000 - 4000 rpm, which allows you to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in about 12.8 seconds. The maximum speed of the JAC S5 crossover is about 180 km / h.
    • Flagship turbocharged engine, with the same four cylinders, has a working volume of 2.0 liters. Its upper power limit has been increased to 176 hp, which is the best indicator among all Chinese crossovers of this class sold in Russia. In terms of torque, the 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine puts out about 235 Nm, allowing you to accelerate to the first hundred on the speedometer in about 11.0 seconds and reach an upper speed limit of 190 km / h.

True, we note that only 2.0 liter engines are presented in Russia, and the 1.8-liter unit "remained in China."

The fuel consumption of both turbocharged units averages about 7.7 liters per 100 km, but the atmospheric one is “gluttonous” by 1 liter.

The choice of gearboxes for buyers of the JAC S5 crossover is very meager - and this is a big minus, especially for Russia, where the popularity of "automatic machines" is growing like "mushrooms after the rain." In general, only a manual transmission is available for the JAC S5 (5-speed "mechanics" for an atmospheric engine and 6-speed for turbocharged ones) ... Although since 2015 they promise (optionally) to provide an "automatic".

Another “minus” of the JAC S5 is exclusively front-wheel drive. One can not even dream of all-wheel drive, it is not in the plans of the manufacturing company ... even in the long term. At the same time, most other Chinese competitors all-wheel drive already offered at least as an additional option.

But the suspension of the Chinese “S5” is quite decent: MacPherson struts in front and a multi-link system in the back. Here we can note full parity, all other manufacturers, in fact, offer the same thing. Brake system here on all wheels disc, supplemented by ABS and EBD. Steering it is additionally equipped with a hydraulic booster (but for Russia, perhaps the Chinese will use electric power steering).

The JAC S5 crossover is offered to Russian motorists in a single configuration - “Luxury”.

  • JAC S5 "Luxury" with a 2.0-liter 136-horsepower naturally aspirated engine is equipped with: two airbags, ABS and brake force distribution system, climate control, "navigator" and audio system, tire pressure sensors ... and is offered (in 2018) for price from 900 thousand rubles.
  • For JAC S5 with a 2-liter turbo engine with 176 hp. added to the equipment: a driver assistance system for descent and ascent, ESP and a leather interior. The cost of this configuration is from 1 million rubles.
