JAC J4

The most notable part of the J4 is its cabin which is decked out with a variety of features. The inside of the J4 sports a T-type dashboard which is designed with a dual-color assortment that can also be seen around the entire cabin. However, JAC is also offering a darker color scheme for those who prefer that kind of ambiance and style. The seats are wrapped in leather, as well as the manual parking brake. It is also equipped with a standard rear window defroster and a standard trip computer. Other features include power windows, a remote key, a manual anti-glare interior rearview mirror, a manual air conditioner, and a standard radio/USB system. Over the dashboard is also a three-dimensional headlamp. Overall, the J4 manages to offer ample space and legroom thanks to its wide interior and height. Not to mention, an oversized trunk that can accommodate lots of cargo.

The J4’s design is very straight to the point. The four-door sedan sports a solid waistline with smooth curves and bold front fenders. The front fascia has a ladder-shaped bumper which is flanked by two sharp but wide headlights. On the rear end, the trunk is designed to meet with the roofline, making the vehicle appear more solid. This is flanked by two oval-shaped tail lights. The J4 has a length of 4,435 mm, a width of 1,725 mm, a height of 1,505 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,560 mm. Ground clearance is around 125 mm while it has a turning radius of approximately 10.8 m. The J4 is available in the following colors: silver, gray, red, white, and black. 

The J4 has a top speed of 180 km/h while it has an average fuel consumption of 5.9L for every 100km. On the other hand, the CVT variant has slightly higher fuel consumption at around 6.2L for every 100km. The vehicle is also equipped with the new McPherson type front suspension system which includes electric power steering (EPS). This intelligent power steering manages to keep the J4 stable even at various speeds. Coupled with its fuel consumption capacity, it offers both a smooth and dynamic driving experience.

The J4 is powered by a 1.5-litre inline-4 gasoline engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technology that generates 110 hp at 6,000 rpm and 146 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. This can be mated to either a 5-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). It is only available in front-wheel drive.

The J4 was built using high strength steel similar to those used by European 5-star safety-rated vehicles. The model is also equipped with standard safety features such as a driver airbag, a passenger airbag, a side airbag, an anti-lock brake system (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), brake assist, a crash sensor, and ISOFIX child seat anchors. It also includes rear seatbelts with seat belt warning, side and front impact beams, a vehicle stability control system, and a parking sensor.

The J4 is a great entry vehicle for those looking to own a simple subcompact sedan at an affordable price range. It has all the base features that make the ride experience convenient and comfortable while also having a strong engine for everyday driving or long trips. Overall, it’s a very user-friendly vehicle. While it’s not as strong as the Japanese subcompact sedans in the local market, it still has everything a driver needs in a reliable vehicle. The price for the JAC J4 starts at P670,000.
