The new JAC JS4 will arrive in Russia in three trim levels, and the differences among them come down to the engine and gearbox options, plus the level of additional equipment. The car sits on a platform that JAC co-developed with Volkswagen, featuring a front MacPherson strut suspension and a rear semi-independent torsion beam suspension. Braking is all-around discs with ventilated fronts, and every JS4 variant is equipped with ABS, EBD, ESC, Hill Start Assist, and Brake Assist as standard safety systems for confident driving in everyday conditions.
In terms of size, the JAC JS4 measures 4410 millimeters in length, 1800 millimeters in width, and 1660 millimeters in height, with a wheelbase of 2620 millimeters. The second row seats fold 40/60 to accommodate longer items, and the cargo capacity varies from 520 liters in the five-seat arrangement to 1050 liters when the rear seats are folded. This makes the JS4 a versatile compact SUV well suited to daily use or weekend getaways in North America where cargo space matters.
The base Comfort version is powered by a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine that meets Euro-5 standards, producing 118 horsepower. It is paired with a six-speed manual transmission designed by JAC themselves, delivering a straightforward and reliable driving experience.
The Luxury variant steps up with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that many customers will recognize from the JAC J7 model. This turbo engine delivers 136 horsepower and can be paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or Punch VT3S CVT, giving drivers the choice between a traditional manual feel or smoother CVT operation for urban driving and longer highway stints.
The top flagship model features a turbocharged engine matched exclusively to a continuously variable transmission, and all versions drive on the front axle. This combination emphasizes responsive acceleration and flexible gearing for diverse road conditions, from city streets to open highways.
In the Comfort baseline, the equipment list includes practical halogen headlights, automatic headlights with a take-me-home feature, power windows with a driver-side auto function, and electric mirrors. The steering wheel offers adjustable height for comfort, and the cabin benefits from air conditioning, rear parking sensors, a Bluetooth-enabled radio with four speakers, and cruise control. The interior features fabric trim with a clean, durable finish suitable for regular use.
The Luxury trim adds several premium touches, including an electric sunroof, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, climate control, and additional vents for the rear, driver, and front passenger. It also brings curtain airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, and a rear-view camera. The interior blending of fabric and eco-leather provides a more upscale feel, while maintaining practicality and durability for daily driving in Canadian and American markets.
The flagship JS4 raises the luxury bar with an electric tailgate, LED headlights, fully automatic windows for all doors, and a digital instrument cluster. Inside, the cabin is finished in leather, the driver’s seat offers electric adjustment, heated front seats contribute comfort in cooler weather, and a 360-degree panoramic camera is included for enhanced parking awareness. In this top trim, advanced driving aids include LDW lane departure warning, FCW forward collision warning, and blind-spot sensors to support safer maneuvers around urban traffic and highway interchanges.
Pricing for the new JAC JS4 will be announced closer to the start of sales, with Canadian and US customers watching for value and feature balance as the models arrive in local markets. Citations indicate the expected configurations and feature sets align with a practical, modern compact SUV that blends performance and convenience for everyday driving and weekend adventures alike.
