Car shoppers on a budget would do well to check out the all-new JAC JS2 Pro. The stylish subcompact crossover is powered by an economical 1.5-liter in-line-four rated at a peppy 103hp and matched to a continuously variable transmission. With all-disc brakes and 55-series, 17-inch tires mounted on split-spoke alloy wheels, the JS2 Pro is a classy five-door that belies its wallet-friendly P895,000 sticker price.

With this targeted at the entry-level market, you won’t see advanced driving aids or a sunroof, but you still get leather upholstery, a nine-inch floating touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, front and rear USB ports, and express up/down buttons for all side windows. The safety features include antilock brakes, dual front and side airbags, stability control, and even a tire pressure monitoring system.

Aesthetically, the JS2 Pro’s Euro-inspired silhouette is highlighted by its diamond-pattern grille, triangular headlights, and full-length LED taillamp and lightbar. The alloy wheels even sport a two-tone finish for a pleasing contrast. Black plastic cladding on the wheel arches and the lower areas of the bumpers is not only utilitarian, but also adds a touch of sportiness.

JAC is offering the JS2 Pro with a five-year/150,000km warranty as well as one year of 24/7 roadside assistance, which should provide some reassurance for first-time customers of the JAC brand.

It’s also available with flexible financing options. An all-in low down payment of P58,000 is being offered, and monthly payment plans start at just P9,547. Available colors are Pearl White, Glacier Silver, Stylish Black, and Carménère Red.

JAC Motors currently has six dealers: Alabang, Calamba, Iloilo, Manila Bay, Pasig, and Quezon Avenue.
