Appearance of the Compact Crossover Jac S3 2018


Despite the fact that the manufacturer refers the new JAC S3 2018 to the class of compact crossovers, the car more resembles a hatchback with an overestimated clearance. The front of the crossover highlights a large rhomb-shaped radiator grille with chrome edging and horizontal chromed stripes. At the top of the company emblem in the form of a five-pointed star.

The hood of the Chinese crossover JAC S3 2018, as the most of the front part is made in strict style. The lateral part is raised, in the form of eyebrows, but the central part of the hood is slightly raised due to the two lines from the radiator grille and to the front racks. As many motorists noted, the front part reminds the penultimate generation of Toyota Highlander.


The side part of the compact crossover JAC S3 2018 more resembles a hatchback. Small arches of wheels, inclined line from the front arch and to the rear optics and chrome knobs of the doors. We spoiled the side of the crossover side windows, the front large, with the exhausted bottom and a deaf glass, the rear is slightly smaller, with a triangular "manual". To emphasize the Jac S3 2018 style, the lower part of the designers were decorated with chrome edging, but the upper and central racks left black.

The side mirrors of the Jac S3 2018 crossover are as unusual and not at all from the crossover. The mounting part is located on the door panel, the lower part of the side mirror of the rear view, like the leg of the fastener of the black color, but the upper part of the housing is painted in the body color. Starting with the basic configuration of the Jac S3 2018, the mirrors are equipped with LED turning repeaters and electric drive for adjustment, and in more expensive equipment heated and automatic folding.

The lower part of the crossover, as in the perimeter is decorated with black plastic protection, with additional chrome moldings. Well, the side part of the Jac S3 2018 crossover is subcompact and more resembles a small hatchback.

Jac S3 2018 compact Chinese crossover dimensions such:

  • length - 4325 mm;
  • the width of the crossover is 1765 mm;
  • height JAC S3 2018 - 1660 mm;

Despite the compact dimensions, the volume of the luggage compartment is 600 liters, and the volume of fuel tank 45 liters. The basis for the Jac S3 2018 crossover serves alloy wheels on 16 "with tires 205/55.


Unlike the front and side part of the Jac S3 2018, the back of the Chinese car more resembles a crossover. The rear optics are slightly stretched and it should be divided into two parts, the large car is located on the body, and less on the trunk lid. For basic configuration JAC S3 2018 Optics based on halogen, but in the top version of the crossover, the LED optics can be installed.

The appearance of the compact Chinese crossover JAC S3 2018 turned out to be quite good, but how many noted the front part looks frightening, but the back in the classic traits of the crossover. The feeling that the front, side and rear parts were taken from different cars, therefore it seems that the Jac S3 2018 refers to different classes of machines.

Interior of the Jac S3 Crossover Interior 2018


In contrast to the appearance, the interior of the compact Jac S3 2018 is more attractive and resembles the Salon of the crossover.

The Chinese company considers this compact crossover as the most important car represented in Russia. Given such high hopes of the manufacturer, it is worth familiar with the level of technical equipment, a price range, design, exterior and new interior. New photos and video of the Chinese crossover, the production of Bogdan can be launched in the Ukrainian capacities of Bogdan.

The manufacturer of Jack C5 does not just hoped that the crossover will be sold in the territory of the Russian Federation, the company believes that the novelty can be a sales hit. The first car of the Jianghuai Automobile CO (Jianghuai Automobile CO), which will be able to try out the Russian buyer will be the Jac J5 sedan.

As for the price of the new crossover, it will make an average of 560,000 rubles. In Ukraine, the basic equipment will be equipped with a motor, with a capacity of 136 hp And it will cost the buyer at 139,000 UAH (to translate into rubles you need to multiply by about 4). Full mince in aggregate with a power plant in 176 hp It will cost 164,000 UAH, and the average option is 154,000 UAH.

In the Russian automotive market, the Jac brand is known only to avid enthusiasts and does not use much popular among Russian motorists. Nevertheless, in China, cars of this manufacturer are included in the cohort of the most sought-after. Some models are exported to the countries of the Middle East, South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Chinese government recommends starting exports to Europe.

The crossover is positioned as an intermediate version between the budget representatives of the Russian auto industry and expensive crossovers of European manufacturers. It is intended primarily for those who are not so rich to acquire cars of European, Korean and Japanese brands. The creators assure that for a reasonable price, the buyer will receive a car with a technical equipment comparable with more expensive competitors. It is interesting to check how important the manufacturer's words correspond to reality.

The crossover is equipped with an exceptional front-wheel drive, and therefore it is difficult to recommend for traveling by off-road. However, the manufacturer leads indicators of the geometric patency of the body: an angle of entry - 26 °, the congress - 22 °. With full equipment, the car weighs 1505 kg, and the fuel tank is able to accommodate up to 55 liters of gasoline.

As for geometric sizes, the body length is 4430 mm, the width is 1840 mm, and the height is 1660 mm. The wheelbase is 2645 mm, with a driver in the cabin, the clearance is equal to at least 200 mm, and if the car is fully loaded - 180 mm.

The Italian PinInfarina Design Bureau is probably not familiar with the term plagiarism. Otherwise, not to explain why the appearance of the Chinese crossover is strongly reminiscent of Korean IX35, at first glance, it seems that cars are almost identical to design and in dimensions. With a more detailed inspection, sendbacks, lines, details that are still distinguished by the Chinese crossover are becoming noticeable.

Jac S5 Salon Photo

Despite suspicion of plagiarism, it is worth noting that the design was successful, the car looks stylish and modern. The entire front part of the body looks courageously and purposefully, headlight headlamps are high enough, the bumper is very large and looks solid. On its surface, the designers placed fog (in special aerodynamic excavations) and a large air intake. As soon as noticeable ribs on the sides of the body and climbing on the hood of the crossover organically complement the complex form of the front fairing.

In general, the JAC S5 profile looks somewhat simpler than the Korean crossover, although the imitation of the design of the IX35 is no doubt. The entire bottom of the body, ranging from the rear bumper, the fillets of the doors, thresholds and ending with the edge of the front bumper is covered with a wide plastic protection. Already in the basic configuration, the manufacturer completes the car with alloy discs of 17 size, tires with a landing diameter R17 profile 225/60 are used. Outlet - the usual rate on the steel disk.

The rear of the car makes you remember another crossover - German Audi Q5. The feed is almost copied with a representative of the German car industry. ATTENTION Attracts the specific shape of the overall lights, a smooth line and step-down under them. The bumper is also very similar to the German donor, it is also equipped with riotonal reflectors.

It can be downloaded that the Italian Designer Agency used the best features of two rather popular crossovers, having received a completely modern car, called Jac S5 at the exit.

Separate mention deserves a high level of security. According to the results of the C-NCAP crash test, the car earned 5 stars, which allowed the manufacturer to call it hardly the safest among Chinese cars. Leadership in the issue of safety is achieved due to high-strength steel (in the production of body, its share is over 80%) and computer modeling of deformable zones.

The Chinese C-NCAP crash test makes it doubtful in its justice, its results are quite often different from the Verdict of European EURO NCAP. In China, 5 stars on the results of C-NCAP are obtained by many cars, but it does not always reflect the reality. As for the use of high-strength steel, then in the body of Volkswagen Passat B7 its share is about 80%, BMW 1 Series - 70%, Mazda CX-5 - 61% and MAZDA 6 - 60%. In addition, famous manufacturers use lightweight high-strength steel, which reduces the weight of the car. For example, Hyundai iX35 with parameters of almost identical with the JAC S5 crossover weighs only 1380 kg, while the Chinese car is 1505 kg.

That interior decoration, it leaves the feeling of sportiness and some futurism, is, in fact, the alloy of several styles. Give a specific definition is quite difficult. A separate mention deserves the quality of the finish, judging by the photo, everything is performed well. It seems that the torpedo is simply soared in the air, and the central console is simply not. The view of the dashboard attracts, it is released on it 2 deep wells of the tachometer and speedometer. The color screen of the side computer is organically fits into the design of the dashboard.

Armchairs are made in a typical Chinese manner. Chairs of the 1st and 2nd row are quite comfortable, without side support. The driver and 4 passengers will be able to accommodate both the driver and 4 passengers can be accommodated comfortably, although excess free space is not observed.

Technical characteristics of the car Jac S5

The manufacturer puts the buyer with rich equipment options. Already in the basic configuration, the car is likely to receive 2 screen of the route computer (color and digital), multifunction steering wheel, the ability to adjust the position of the steering column in height and depth, air conditioning, intelligent audio system, electric and heated mirrors, power windows on all doors, Electrical system adjustment system of the lumbric backrest Chairs of the 1st row, 6 airbags, ABS EBD systems.

In the maximum version there is an artificial leather seats, setting a color touch screen, an electric hatch, climate control system, EBA HDC TCS and HAC systems, a multimedia system.

The volume of the luggage compartment can be increased to an impressive 1680 liters, if you fold the backs of the rear seats. The only minus of the smooth cargo platform is only a large loading height.

Russian and Ukrainian buyers will be able to choose between versions with two versions of motors. In the basic version of the car there will be a 4-cylinder atmospheric with a volume of 2.0 liters. The maximum power of such a solution will not exceed 136 hp, which will determine the torque of up to 190 nm during revolutions from 3000 to 4500 rpm. At the same time, the maximum vehicle speed is 180 km / h, the fuel consumption at a speed of 90 / km / h will be 7.1 liters, on the flow rate at other speed modes the manufacturer silent.

Video Test Drive Jac S5

In a more expensive version, the flagship power supply of the company will be installed - a turbocharged engine with a capacity of 176 hp, developing torque of 235 nm. It will allow the crossover to accelerate to 190 km / h. On the track, fuel consumption will not exceed 7.7 liters per hundred kilometers.

All versions will be equipped with a gearbox 5. This can be considered a big minus, because the automatic transmission is becoming increasingly popular with automatic transmission. The disadvantages can also be attributed to the drive only on the front wheels. The manufacturer does not even mean that in the future it can change something in this matter. Most competitors in this matter are superior to Jac S5.

Crossover is one of its advantages. In front of the designers used the McPherson racks, and in the rear, a multi-block design. In this matter, almost all automakers use the same approach. All wheels use a disc brake system. ABS and EBD systems are used. So far, the steering wheel is equipped with a hydraulic agent, but in the future the automaker does not exclude the possibility of using the electric powerful.

For the Ukrainian and Russian market, the car will be produced using the capacity of the Ukrainian automaker Bogdan. It was expected that mass production would be launched at the beginning of the winter last year. The first sales of the JAC S5 crossover were scheduled for the middle of this year.


Middle Kingdom continues to induce car buyers with a huge assortment and significant advantages in prices. Despite the permanent rise in the cost of machines, Chinese crossovers remain on top of sales, constantly increasing sales volumes. Jack C5 became one of the contenders in place in the leading five compact parquets. Excellent reviews of car owners Jack, as well as decent quality assembly machine make C5 quite an attractive purchase for any motorist. If you have aimed at purchasing a high-quality and inexpensive parkerchief, it's time to think about the Chinese market.

Five stars for the security of passengers and the driver by China NCAP make Jac S5 an even more explicit contender for leadership in class among compatriots. The crossover received many amateur videos with high quality reviews and the maximum reliability of the main nodes. In addition, on the company and user photo, the car looks modern, has a worthy appearance and proudly represents the manufacturer among other technically advanced and inexpensive competitors.

Appearance and main features of the interior of the crossover

Thousands of people were recorded on the test drive of the novelties in Russia before the appearance of Jack C5 directly in the salons. The company has a good rating, because the corporation was present in the market with commercial vehicles. Everyone had time to make sure of the high quality of production and assembly of machines, and the current model range of the manufacturer also has a good appearance. In the photo and video concern, the main features of the design of C5 from the Chinese company Jack are perfectly visible:

  • the crossover is quite calm, does not have a mass of aggressive details;
  • the absence of aggression made the car more suitable for its price class;
  • the exterior of the machine reflects the technical characteristics, so everything turns out to be harmonious;
  • the body is implemented in the classic PARCOnk scheme, there are no unpleasant surprises in it;
  • on the JAC S5 test drive you will be surprised by the reliability and quality of each interior detail;
  • the layout of the internal space looks very successful, it is difficult to find flaws in this area;
  • the company has developed an ergonomic space for the driver, but it's not too convenient to sit on the back sofa.

Given the small size of the crossover, it can be evidence that the company did everything in its power to create excellent sensations and emotions for C5 when traveling. A good conditions have created a good condition in Russia so that in Russia the car gets good popularity and has become a full-fledged road participant. At least, this is how the exterior of the car says that nothing bad is distinguished among the huge number of competitors.

Specifications and first reviews of owners about the car



It is difficult to judge the car without a personal test drive. But today the Internet allows us to get information and without exploring the machine. The first C5 buyers in Russia have already left a lot of feedback to make some conclusions about the quality and feasibility of purchase. Jack is quite high-quality, reliable cars and has plenty of advantage. Among the technical characteristics, JAC S5 can find quite a few advantages relatively with the main competitors:

  • the main advantage of Jack C5 is a motor that can be basic and turbocharged;
  • return of an ordinary gasoline engine - 136 horses, turbocharged - 176 forces;
  • the gearbox provides elastic switching and does not spoil the impression of the trip;
  • the car is sufficiently comfortable, thanks to large wheels and a very soft suspension;
  • chassis, despite all its softness, it turns out reliable and keeps the road;
  • transport is difficult to call premium, but the price of Jack C5 is fully implemented.

It seems that the crossover is designed specifically for Russia. Already on the test drive of the new Jac S5, you can find many interesting new products in the car, which will be the basis of a convenient and high-quality operation of the machine. That is why the reviews of the owners about the technical part have become so positive. Many were impressed with the trip to the Chinese crossover so much that they decided to buy directly on the test trip.

Prices and configurations - Important moments of buying a car

If the appearance and technical characteristics can be safely called important features of the car when buying, the price remains out of competition by a decisive factor. First of all, many buyers look at the price tag, and not in the photo and a selection of technical advantages. In the case of Jack C5, the cost will be based on the following factors:

  • the crossover received good reviews of owners, which can raise its price;
  • on a test drive, almost all future shoppers of the car speak of a sense of reliability;
  • transport has a high potential of quality work in difficult conditions;
  • this is one of the few truly quality Chinese crossovers.

In Russia, on Jac S5, demand does not fall since the official presentation. The company offers an optimal price tag at 730,000 rubles for the basic version and 780 thousand for a complete set with a more productive motor. It is difficult to name traditionally low Chinese cost, but you have a productive crossover with good technical characteristics. So the price is quite adequate.

Let's sum up

Already on the first test drive, the car many notice how much the Jack C5 does not look like their competitors from the Middle Kingdom. The car is quite high quality, reliable, has excellent characteristics and is able to surprise even after several months of operation. This makes transport to a wonderful purchase.

But the JAC S5 also has a number of disadvantages that will have a separate view for each buyer. In the reviews of the owners, they suggest that the car has low clearance, and the rear places for passengers are not too comfortable. Also, the transformation of the cabin is somewhat complex. Perhaps these are all the tangible shortcomings of the car.

Segden We will provide a review of the new Chinese crossover JAC S5 2014 - 2015. The representative of the Chinese auto industry JAC (Jianghuai Automobile CO) is almost unknown for the overwhelming majority of domestic motorists. To date, Russian car owners faced only with a sedan, and even then in small quantities. At the same time, in China, the model of this company has been very considerable demand for quite a long time. Moreover, the company is supplied to the countries of the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa and South America.

That is why the Crossover Jack C5 the creators lay very high hopes - according to the plans of the Chinese auto giant, this model should conquer in our market a lot of stake in its segment, and help them begin a successful work in Russia. We add that the production of the new JAC S5 of the S5 2014 is carried out at the capacity of the Ukrainian corporation Bogdan, and on the conquest of the Ukrainian market, the Chinese manufacturer also places considerable hopes.

First of all, JAC S5 is positioned as an alternative to domestic cars - the creators claim that it is much surpassed by Russian cars for the availability of options, technical equipment, and cost. Is it really?

Jack C5 is the so-called transient link - between budget crossovers and models in the average price category. First of all, the manufacturer expects to win the attention of buyers who are unhappy with the quality of domestic cars and the most cheap Chinese copies, and do not have sufficient amounts (or they do not want to spend them) to purchase more expensive models.

The manufacturer prepared for the battle for the wallets is quite well, for example, a fairly successful design company from Italy PinInfarina was engaged in the design of the design. However, at first glance, it seems that its appearance (and overall dimensions) is almost identical to the Hyundai IX35 parameters. True, under the near future with the exterior, the car it turns out that this is not quite the way: the body has a considerable number of original solutions and elements, and absolutely unlike other representatives of this family today it is almost impossible to find.

So, in front of the body car looks solid and rapidly, the front headlights are very high. Surprised big, but a well-considered front bumper, which is located round fog, as well as an impressive air intake. The entire body of the new car is "permeated" enough complex lines, which, nevertheless, look quite harmonious. The lower part of the body is from the edge of the front bumper to the rear bumper, covered with a wide plastic protection, and looks very good.

The JAC S5 feed is completely copied with Audi Q5, but nevertheless, it looks very spectacular: especially liked the overall lights, the original fireproof, and the bumper with reflectors. In general, despite many sophistication in the appearance of the Chinese crossover, it looks much easier than his "twinwings" - which is quite logical, especially, given its value.

Even the basic equipment of the car "extends" into the alloy 17-inch discs with rubber 225/60 R17. At the same time surprised the solution of the manufacturer relative to the spare wheel - the usual sort of speed on the steel disk.

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

The crossover should not even try to storm off-road, because of its front drive. However, the manufacturer still decided to specify its permeability: the angles of the congress and entry for the car are 22 and 26 degrees, respectively. The mass in the exile - 1505 kg, the tank accommodates 55 liters. Fuel.

If in something and look for the personality of the Chinese crossover, so it is in the inner decoration: everything is surprisingly good, the connection of the elements also does not cause the slightest complaints. Note that in the cabin harmoniously combined elements made in various styles: sports, futuristic, as well as classic. When entering the cabin, the first thing attracts the attention of almost complete lack of the central console, which creates the impression that the torpedo is pairing in emptiness.

The steering wheel is quite simple, however, in its background, a stylish instrument panel looks great, on which 2-A deep wells is conveniently located: a tachometer and speedometer. In general, a positive impression enhances good quality color monitor onboard computer. Sitting cars, like the front and rear, are made in the traditional for the Chinese automotive industry: lateral support is missing, the sessions themselves are too flat. The presence of free space is not impressive, however, the places for comfortable accommodation of all passengers are quite enough.

The basic equipment has two screens of a route computer (graphic and color digital); Multifunctional (with a minimum feature set) steering wheel in leather binding, and adjusting the column in depth and height.

The front seats received electrical adjustment of lumbar backfares. Also in the basic configuration: air conditioning, excellent quality of the audio system (CD, MP3, USB, AUX, iPod, Bluetooth, 6-speakers), heated electroserkal, all doors are equipped with electric windows. Did not forget the developers and about the installation of 6 airbags, as well as ABS, EBD.

The maximum option is complemented by trimming with artificial leather, color sensory monitor of the multimedia, EBA, TCS, HDC and HAC system, as well as the electric hatch, and climate control.

The luggage compartment of the Chinese crossover accommodates 500 liters. The load in the standard condition, with folded separate backs of the rear seats, it turns out a practically perfectly smooth surface on which you can accommodate 1680 liters. Luggage. The only disadvantage of the luggage compartment can be called its greater loading height.

JAC S5 Specifications

The technical characteristics of the new crossover can not be called outstanding, however, they are quite worthy to perform the tasks set before auto. Our auto will be available with two gasoline units:

  • the base option will receive atmospheric 2.0 l., 4-cylinder power unit. Also, this motor is equipped with a DOHC TGR, and produces 136 hp, with a torque 190 nm at 3000 - 4500 rpm. The maximum vehicle speed with such a motor is 180 km / h, with the declared averaged consumption of combustible order of 7.1 liters.
  • The second engine has become a more powerful 2.0 l. (176 hp 235 nm) turbocharged aggregate. This motor is able to develop speed up to 190 km / h, with an average fuel consumption on the highway about 7.7 liters.

Unfortunately, both engines for domestic motorists are available only with a 5-step mechanic, which is a significant minus car, because every year the automatic transmission is becoming increasingly popular. Another significant disadvantage, which, most likely, will negatively affect the level of sales, it is possible to name its non-alternative front-wheel drive, and the absolute reluctance of the manufacturer at least to change something in this situation.

However, there is a crossover and advantages to boast only recognized world grandfest (if you believe the manufacturer's statements). For example, the company's website contains information that this car is one of the safest cars in all of China - according to the results of the C-NCAP crash test, the crossover received the 5-stars. Such an indicator was achieved thanks to the use of a car of about 0% of high-strength steels, as well as the creation of computer models of deformation zones.

The only spoon of tar in the barrel of honey is the fact that C-NCAP is a purely Chinese test, the results of which differ significantly from European Euro NCAP. We also note that many Chinese cars are obtained by the results of this test 5 stars, but in Europe they are not gaining such a high marks.


Video Test Drive

From the indisputable advantages of the crossover, we note the suspension: a car received ahead, a multi-dimensional design is installed behind. The fact that this suspension is used in the overwhelming majority of crossover models, including leading global manufacturers, is only a confirmation of the choice of the Chinese manufacturer. The brake system of the car received the disk, on all wheels.

JAC S5 configuration and prices

The start of sales on the territory of the Russian Federation of the new Chinese crossover began several weeks ago, so there is no cost about the cost of all offered complete sets. Almost the approximate price of the basic configuration of the Jac S5 2014 2015 is known - it is 560 thousand rubles. For comparison, we give the cost of the car in neighboring Ukraine: here is the basic equipment of the Chinese crossover from 136 liters. from. The engine is estimated at 139 thousand hryvnias (to translate into rubles it is necessary to multiply by 4-re). The next set of cars costs 154 thousand UAH, and the most expensive from the presented packages of Jack C5, which received a turbocharged 176 hp Motor and all the functions described above and system will cost 164 thousand UAH.

We continue to get acquainted with Chinese cars, and on the queue - the front-wheel drive crossover JAC S5 class K1, which lit up in 2012 in one of the Guangzhou dealers. The first "swallows" of the Chinese manufacturer Jac was made in tandem with the South Korean auto giant Hendai. Later, this cooperation was suspended. However, the masters from the Middle Kingdom still feather all successful solutions from their neighbor. The whole range of jack.

Exterior

The exterior of the car looks very aggressive. Due to the high bumper and a considerable radiator lattice, the machine has the form of a rather blowing and intriguing car. This crossover lifts a little on the predatory beast. This car has streamlined forms, which indicates good aerodynamic indicators of the crossover. A lot of works were held over the exterior of Jack C5, and a new car looks even much more beautiful than the predecessor.

Initially, this can be attributed to the optical pharmaces, which stars are slightly more and look more expressive, and the fog does not seem to be a strange addition. Optics makes the way well lit, but at the same time it does not blind the oncoming machines. They are in small wells, which inserted and air ducts designed to cool 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 forefront receive their continuation in the vomit on the hood and with difficulty noticeable burning ribs located with the side of the body surface. The front of the JAC contains elements of an off-road car, which looks like a rather brutal and exquisite jeep, which will undoubtedly be allocated in the roadflow.

Also, many will like that the passengers who sit on the second row will now not have discomfort, since the roof no longer has a last form, and it is not risen strongly, which will provide enough free space, especially for the head. It is still worth highlight wheels, a diameter of 17 inches, which look very stylish and which "shut up" in low-profile tires, width of which is 2 100 mm. However, the spare wheel is installed simple - the disk on the steel disk.

If you evaluate the feed part, then there will be contradictory moments. The feed, by the way, is very similar to the German Audi Q5 car. It is worth paying their gaze on the interesting form of overall lamps, a flat line and lay down below to send them. However, the rear bumper itself, which also has horizontal reflectors, is made almost just like the German brand.

In about the way, the efforts of the designer masters who are recognized by the whole world, it turned out the appearance of a modern car, which was named Jack C5. On the side, the Chinese looks quite well on Hyundai IX35, but it looks much easier than the Korean crossover. The bottom of the body, from the edge of the bumper installed in front, the threshold, the doors, and the rear bumper, closes the plastic protection that is quite wide.

Interior

In general, if you look at the photos, then everything is made pretty in high quality style. Paying attention to the torpedo, then the feeling arises that it is "hanging" in the air. The steering wheel was fairly ordinary and unremarkable, but the instrument panel, it looks very stylish and has two deep wells, which are highlighted with a pleasant eye blue. They fit the speedometer sensors and engine speeds.

All this has completed the color-colored timber screen. It is not necessary to forget that the development of the Jac S5 salon, the Italian specialists were engaged in, which, as you know, are able to all. Among the materials used, the finishes can be distinguished the skin, leatherette, tissue finish, the presence of aluminum, polished plastic.

It is worth saying right to say that the unpleasant smell of which everyone is silent, completely absent and touch it is quite pleasant. The audio settings buttons are equipped with convenience, for example, the volume setting is brought to the roller. Moreover, to launch a power unit, there is no need to constantly search for the ignition lock, because the running of the motor is made by pressing the button.

Let us turn to the chairs of the 1st and 2nd rows, it is worth noting that they are quite convenient to sit, in general, they are made according to the standard scheme for cars, the production of China - flat shape and lack of side support. Driving seat has an electrical drive of settings. Although free space is not a car, but for a comfortable ride, it is enough.

Also included with a row of leather rim, the ability to adjust the steering wheel in height and depth, the electrically regulating the lumbar seat underpore installed in front, the availability of the air conditioner, an improved audio system that supports CD, MP3, USB, AUX, iPod, bluetooth, power windows of all Doors and 6 Airbag.

Located in the middle of the display, it has a function of sensory input, without which it seems already today simply impossible to do. When purchasing a jack in the maximum modification, an electrical drive of the smoothing device will be present, the control keys will be installed on the steering wheel. In addition, there will be many security airbags.

The luggage compartment has about 500-ta liters of free space, but this is not all, if necessary, you can increase the free space if you add separate rear backs of the chairs, while receiving about 1,680 liters. Interestingly, the cargo platform will be released, which will be smooth, however with a considerable loading height. If we talk in general, then the car's salon has nothing superfluous, however, nothing missing.

Specifications

Force aggregate

The standard power unit for Jack C5 serves a two-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine, a 2.0-liter DOHC volume, outstanding 136 horsepower power. It helps the car to reach the limit speed at 180 km / h. Manufacturers declare fuel consumption at 7.1 liters only at a speed of 90 km / h. The first hundred car overcomes for 8.7 seconds. The second is already with a turbine, the same 2 liter volume which is capable of overclocking power up to 176 horse forces.

It allows you to achieve a maximum mark of 190 km / h and fuel consumption will be 7.7 liters. Synchronized their work with a single 5-speed manual gearbox. All versions of JAC S5 cars will have ABS and EBD. A hydraulic steering wheel amplifier was also installed, so spending a lot of strength, turning the steering wheel, there will be no need. Optionally, you can order an electrical steering wheel amplifier.

Gabarits.

The JAC S5 car is in length of 4,430 mm, in width it is 1 840 mm, and the height is 1,660 mm. Base of wheels 2 645 mm. If the driver is inside the machine, then the ground clearance is minimally 200 mm if the machine is loaded, this figure will decrease only 20 mm, which is ultimately 180 mm. The clearance is really very good. With him, you can not be afraid to ride our roads.

Configuration and prices

This crossover is offered in the Russian Federation only in one modification - "Luxury". A model with a two-liter power unit of atmospheric type, got a snap: 2nd airbags, ABS and brake force distribution system, climate control support, navigation and audio systems, pressure sensors in wheels. For it are asked from 799,000 rubles. For a more powerful version with the same engine, but already turbocked, asked from 869,000 rubles. In addition to all other things, it included a drive system of the shoveline with lins and descents, ESP and a leather interior decoration.

Six Airbag will also be present. The car has a hat on the roof.

Let's sum up

In the end, I want to say that you should not wait for a similar Chinese model of something over possible. After all, there is a medium-sized power unit, the only one (which is good) mechanical gearbox, only front-wheel drive. However, despite all this, the car has a pretty good exterior, an interesting and original interior with two screens, one of which supports the touch input.

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