Jac C5 is a pretty compact crossover from China. Chinese crossover Jac S5: owners reviews. The advantages and disadvantages of JAC S5 The technical characteristics of the JAC S5 and the functionality is the main argument when comparing with competitors

The Chinese compact crossover JAC S5 of the 2013-2014 sample will be the second and most significant in terms of promising sales for the company by the car presented in Russia. Based on this, it makes sense to explore this model. Read more: Rate the exterior and interior of the car, find out prices, specifications of JAC S5 and its level of equipment. We help us in the photo and video materials of the new crossover from the Middle Kingdom, the production of which will be carried out ... at the Ukrainian enterprise Bogdan Corporation.

Crossover Jack from 5 is not just a candidate for the implementation in Russia, it is on him that the creators lay high hopes for a car having great potential and able to conquer good positions in our market. The first Russian motorists will be able to try out the Jac J5 sedan, about which we wrote earlier.

The Chinese brand of the JAC car, or Jianghuai Automobile CO, is not yet popular with Russian car owners, and in general we have few people know. However, in its homeland, these cars are very popular, well-selling, and many JAC models are exported to South America, Africa, the countries of the Middle East, Southeast Asia and are even recommended by the Chinese government to export to Europe.
As a representative of the so-called intermediate link between inexpensive budget and average models, the Jac S5 crossover will suit those who are no longer satisfied with the budget Russian cars and the most cheap configurations of representatives of the Chinese car industry, but not so much so much to acquire expensive crossovers of European, Japanese and Korean brands. This car will be a good alternative that will be able to arrange customers with their options, technical equipment and naturally worth. So, at least, assure the creators. What about reality?

Car Design Jack C5 was designed by PinInfarina, Design Bureau from Italy. But it is not clear to us how Italian designers managed to create a Jac S5 crossover with almost identical appearance and overall body sizes like Korean Hyundai IX35. Cars at first glance seem to be twin brothers, but with a close review still find original lines, sending and details on the body of the Chinese pseudo-crossover (the car is equipped with an exceptionally front actuator).

About appearance a little later, and now we will specify the external overall sizes of the Jac S5 body:

• 4430 mm in length, 1840 mm wide, 1660 mm in height, 2645 mm Wheel base, road clearance (clearance) with a full load of at least 180 mm, but only with a driver in a car at least 200 mm.

The front-wheel drive crossover is not enough for the assault road, but the manufacturer decided to indicate the characteristics of the geometric patency of the body: the angle of entry -26 degrees, the angle of the congress is 22 degrees. The mass of the car in the currency state is 1505 kg, the fuel tank is designed for 55 liters of gasoline.

Throwing away all the thoughts about the design plagiarism by PinInfarina, when developing an appearance project for Chinese Jac S5, we recognize that the car looks modern and stylish.
The front part of the body is courageous and purposeful, with highly located headlights, solid and large bumper, on the surface of which a huge air intake and round fog in aerodynamic grooves are easily located. The complex lines of the front fairing are used to be continued in emptying on the hood and barely catchy views of the ribs on the side surfaces of the body.

The profile of the Chinese is clearly created on the Lecales Hyundai IX35, but it looks somewhat easier than the Korean crossover. The bottom of the body, ranging from the edge of the front bumper, the thresholds, the doors, and ending with the rear bumper, covers wide plastic protection.
Already in the database, the car is completed with alloy wheels of 17 sizes with a rubber 225/60 R17, but the reserve is the usual - the row on the steel disk.

Reaching the back of the body we understand that the feed is already drawn from another crossover, this time with the German Audi Q5. Pay attention to the characteristic form of overall lanterns, a flat line and climbing under them. Yes, and the bumper with horizontal reflectors is almost the same as the German donor.
So, by the efforts of recognized design masters from the world famous Atelier, a collective image of a modern car, which received the name Jac S5 appeared.

On the official website of the Chinese manufacturer, it is indicated that the new crossover S5 is almost the safest car from the Middle Kingdom. According to the results of the C-NCAP crash test, the car earned 5 stars. Such a high result is achieved due to the use of more than 80% of high-strength steel and computer modeling zones of deformation. We cannot leave this information without comment.

C-NCAP - the Chinese crash test and its results are equally different from Euro NCAP (European version). A huge number of cars in China receive a maximum rating in 5 points, but, alas, not all deservedly. Regarding the use of high-strength steel: New Mazda 6 - 60%, at the crossover Mazda CX-5 - 61%, at BMW 1 Series - 70%, from Volkswagen Passat B7 - 80%. It seems that these numbers are enough, and Japanese and European manufacturers use lightweight high-strength steel. The JAC S5 crossover with a front-wheel drive and a 2.0-liter motor pulls on scales 1505 kg, and Hyundai IX35 in the presence of a drive on the front wheels, the motor with the same volume and almost identical sizes weighs only 1380 kg.

The design of the interior decoration of the JAC S5 interior combines several directions of style: there is also sportiness, futurism, and classical elegance, so it is difficult to describe its design somehow and specifically. In general, if you judge the photo, everything is done quite high quality and kindly. The central console is practically absent, and the torpedo seems to soar in the air. The steering wheel is quite ordinary and unremarkable, but a stylish dashboard with two deep well wells and a tachometer supplemented with a color-screen on-board computer looks great.

Chairs of the first and second row are comfortable and traditionally for Chinese models flat, without side support. Places for the driver and four passengers without excess, but enough for comfortable and cozy placement.

Equipment options promises to be rich. According to preliminary information in the presence of a basic configuration, two shields of the route computer (color graphic and digital), a multifunctional steering wheel with leather braid rim and adjusting the steering column in height and depth, electrical adjustment of the lumbar front armrest, air conditioning, advanced audio system (CD mp3 USB AUX iPod Bluetooth 6 columns), heated electric windows, electrical windows on all doors, ABS EBD, 6-fledged airbags.

In the maximum packaged version of the seats finishing with artificial leather, color touch screen of the multimedia system, EBA TCS HDC and HAC, electrically driven hatch, climate control.

The Jac S5 trunk in the hiking state accommodates more than 500 liters, its volume can be increased almost three times to 1680 liters. After folding the rear seats. It is characteristic that in this way the smooth cargo site is obtained, but, alas, with a large loading height.

Specifications: The Jac S5 crossover will be offered to Ukrainian and Russian buyers in two versions of equipping with gasoline units. In the basic versions, an atmospheric engine with four cylinders and 2.0 liters is installed. This motor, equipped with a DOHC THC, can produce power up to 136 horsepower and torque 190 nm on turns from 3000 to 4500 rpm. The manufacturer declares the maximum speed of 180 kmc and indicates fuel consumption at a speed of 90 kmh - about 7.1 liters.
Motor-flagship company turbocharged 2.0-liter (176 LAN 235 nm) and is able to ensure a crossover maximum speed in 190 kmh. Fuel consumption on the track will be about 7.7 liters.
Opportunities to choose a gearbox that would be a pair of Motor Jac S5, buyers will not be, 5 transmissions will be installed in all configurations. For Russia, this is a big drawback, because there are more and more machines. The significant disadvantage of Jac S5 can be considered that it is the front-wheel drive and, most likely, so will remain in the future, the company does not even plan to change something. At the same time, almost all of their competitors offer such an option at least as an additional.
The advantage of the crossover is to call his suspension: in front of his rack McPherson, and the back is a multi-dimensional design. In principle, the remaining manufacturers offer identical suspensions. As for the brake system, it is disk, and on all wheels. Additionally, there are ABS and EBD. The steering wheel has a hydraulicer, but the manufacturer considers the possibility of installing the electric power steering.

For Ukraine and Russia, the release of the Jac S5 Chinese automaker plans to establish on the basis of the Ukrainian company Bogdan. The conveyor will be launched according to the plans, at the end of the autumn-early winter of 2013, and the first sales of cars on our territory will start by mid-2014.

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.

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

The crossover "S5" in this row occupies a special place - it is this model that many experts prophesy good prospects (including in our market), so it makes sense to get acquainted with this car a little closer.

The JAC S5 crossover belongs to a small transitional "layer" between budget models and middle price range parkelines. The car is calculated on those who are not satisfied with the configuration of "budget executions", but the funds on more expensive crossovers (with a loud name), alas, no - in this case, Jac S5 can be a good option that can satisfy customer requests and in terms of equipment, and In terms of technical execution, and, of course, in terms of price ... But it is in words, but what about?

But in fact, we get a car, the design of which was developed by the Italian Designer Bureau "PinInfarina" - gave Jac S5 quite visually external appearance with some elements of sportiness (however, very much resembling Hyundai IX35 resembling).

The sneaker's dimensions are 4475 mm in length, 1840 mm wide and 1680 mm in height. The length of the wheelbase is 2645 mm, and the height of the road lumen is 210 mm (which is quite good for Russian roads).

Special attention in presentations, the Chinese pay body structures with programmable deformation zones (by 81% of the steel consisting of durable varieties) - which makes the car one of the most "hard" among Chinese competitors. Moreover, according to the results of the C-NCAP crash test, the Jac S5 crossover earned five stars.

The interior of Jac S5 "Partly Futuristic, Partly Sports and Partly Elegant" - which is why the unable classification of the designer mixture was obtained with an abundance of convexities and relief on the front panel, almost complete absence of a console, an original dashboard and a very impressive steering wheel.

It is difficult to judge about the quality of the interior trim, but in the photo everything looks pretty good and qualitatively. By the way, the Jac S5 salon is calculated for five passengers, and its trunk is able to "swallow" about 505 liters of cargo.

On the Chinese market, the JAC S5 crossover is offered with three variants of gasoline engines:

• Basic modifications are equipped with a four-cylinder atmospheric engine with a working capacity of 2.0 liters. Equipped with DOHC Type, this motor is able to develop 136 hp Maximum power, as well as submit 180 N of torque in the range from 3000 to 4500 rev / minutes.
• The following two units are equipped with a turbocharging system and are built on the basis of Japanese engines (licensed Mitsubishi):
  • The youngest of turbineaggers has four cylinders with a total working volume of 1.8 liters and is able to develop about 163 hp. maximum power. The torque of this motor is 235 N at the peak, reaching at 2000 - 4000 rpm, which allows you to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h about 12.8 seconds. The maximum speed of the JAC S5 crossover is about 180 km / h.
  • The flagship turbocharged engine, with the same four cylinders, has a working volume of 2.0 liters. Its upper power limit increased to 176 hp, which is the best indicator among all Chinese crossovers of this class implemented in Russia. As for torque, the 2.0-liter turbobenzine motor issues about 235 Nm, allowing to be accelerated to the first hundred on the speedometer for about 11.0 seconds and reach the upper speed limit in 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".

Fuel consumption in both turbocharged units is on average about 7.7 liters per 100 km, but atmospheric "is growing" per liter.

The choice of gearboxes from buyers of the Jac S5 crossover is very well - and this is a big minus, especially for Russia, where the popularity of "automata" grows as "mushrooms after the rain." In general, only the mechanical gearbox (5-speed "mechanics" for the atmospheric motor and a 6-speed "mechanic" for the atmospheric motor and a 6-speed "mechanics" are available for JAC S5 ... Although since 2015 promises (optionally) to provide "Avtomat".

Another "minus" JAC S5 is an exceptional front-wheel drive. You can not even dream about the full drive, it is not in the plans of the company's company ... Even in the distant perspective. At the same time, most other Chinese competitors system full drive are already offered at least as an additional option.

But the suspension from the Chinese "S5" is quite decent: MacPherson's stands in front and a multi-dimensional system of rear. Here you can mark the full parity, all other manufacturers, in fact, offer the same. The brake system here on all wheels disc, supplemented with ABS and EBD. Steering is additionally equipped with a hydraulic agent (but for Russia, it is possible that the Chinese will use the electric power steering).

The JAC S5 crossover is proposed by Russian motorists in a single configuration - "Luxury".

• Jac S5 "Luxury" with a 2.0-liter 136-strong atmospheric engine equipped: two airbags, ABS and brake force distribution system, climate control, "navigator" and audio system, tire pressure sensors ... and offered (in 2018) Price from 900 thousand rubles.
• For JAC S5 with a 2-liter turbo capacity of 176 hp Equipment added: driver assistance system during descent and lift, ESP and leather interior. The cost of this configuration is from 1 million rubles.

Overview of the new Jac S5 2014-2018: appearance, interior, specifications, configuration, parameters, security systems and price. At the end of the article photo and video review JAC S5.

For the first time, the Jac S5 crossover 2014-2018 was represented in 2012, at the automotive exhibition in Guangzhou. Unlike the debut, in the automotive market, the car appeared in mid-2014. The front-wheel drive crossover was attributed to the C1 class, which says not about the best pavement, soon even the parquet version. Engineers and designers talked about developing from a pure sheet, the car was still copied with a crossover. Despite such a long period of release of JAC S5 2014-2018 without improvements and generations, the crossover still harmonically combines European design, classical elegance and good dynamics.

Competitors:

Exterior of Crossover Jac S5 2014-2018

Front of crossover Jac S5 2014-2018 looks attractive and stylish. First of all, the trapezoid grille rushes into the eyes, divided into two parts. Less than the easier decorative and is located in the upper part of the front, it also placed the company's company emblem in the form of a 5-finite star. The second grille of the Jac S5 2018 crossover grille turned out to be an order of magnitude more in the form and performs the main role for cooling the engine. As inserts, designers used horizontal planks, according to the standard they are black, although optionally can be chrome.

The lower part was embedded with black plastic protection, the same protection was installed throughout the perimeter of the crossover. The last two details of the front part are windshield and hood. Many say that precisely because of the hood, the new Jac S5 2014-2018, very well resembles the original IX35. The central part of the hood is slightly raised, and two curved lines stretch from the edge of the radiator grille to the front racks. The windscreen Jac S5 2018 is normal, even in the top configuration is not equipped with heating of wipers, which indicates the more budget value of the crossover.

Despite the Chinese origin of the JAC S5, the functional part of the crossover at a high level. The side mirrors are not worse than the original model, the standard set includes LED turn repeaters, an adjustment electric drive, automatic folding and heating, as an option in Jac S5 you can add memory to two mirror settings modes. Such functions can not be found in the most modern crossovers.

The exterior coloring of the JAC S5 2014-2018 is available in 6 versions:

• the black;
• white;
• silver;
• red;
• grey;
• blue.

The rear bumper Jac S5 2018 is also original, although in the form still reminds IX35. The main part of the bumper is distinguished by two oblong fog, the lowest bottom of the black plastic protection and two tips of the exhaust system. Designers tried to give the Crossover Jac S5 European features, but still there is a well-recognizable Chinese character.

Jac S5 Crossover Interior 2014-2018

Central Console The front panel of the JAC S5 2014-2018 is elongated to the center and is not well combined with a common view of the cabin. Unlike the original model Hyundai IX35, on which designers were based, in the new JAC S5 installed a multimedia system with a 7 "touch display. For convenience of controlling the system, the control buttons, the menu and the audio system are located. The first variants of the JAC S5 crossover required the Multimedian coordinates, Since not all menus has been translated into Russian or English and, with the slightest mistake, Chinese characters appeared. In the latest models, such a problem was removed from the plant, and in addition, the navigation maps of the CIS countries were initially loaded.

Central tunnel Between the front seats of the Jac S5 2014-2018 peculiar, designers separated it from the basis of the panel, giving a more sporty character. The beginning of the tunnel is made in the form of a small niche for charging, the choice is offered a USB port, 12V outlet, as well as a line input. Nearby is the security and comfort control panel with very large buttons. Further on the central tunnel of the Jac S5 2018 gearbox lever, a mechanical handbrake (an electromechanical handbrake is not provided) and a pair of cup holders.

Finally, a spacious armrest is installed, the reverse side of the armrest is smooth, without air ducts and additional functions. The minus of the central tunnel is that the designers decorated it with a glossy panel and after six months of using Jac S5, characteristic scratches appear on it.

Second row Seats JAC S5 2014-2018 is designed to land three passengers. Not to say that the second row is so comfortable, the designers have deprived of his side support by making fully smooth on the seat and back. The proportion of folding 60/40, like most Chinese cars.

Concerning interior trim Jac S5 2014-2018, then there is still differences. In the basic configuration of the crossover for the skin, high-quality fabric was used, the maximum equipment received the skin with artificial leather or genuine leather (the latter as an option for a fee). In colors, the interior of the JAC S5 combines dark and bright shades, tissue covering, as a rule, black or gray with a characteristic pattern. Leather sheat or with artificial leather available in:

1. the black;
2. orange-black;
3. brown-black;
4. beige;
5. grey.

The JAC S5 instrument panel itself is divided into three main parts, two cylindrical speedometer and tachometer, central to the monochrome display of the side computer and small indicators of crossover systems. The steering wheel of the JAC S5 by contour is placed in the skin, but the central part is made of cheap plastic. Such a combination of materials is not the best, and plastic itself in the center over time fits fastens and is rapidly erased. Total JAC S5 steering wheel is designed for three knitting needles, two sideways are reserved for functional buttons, the lower spokes are decorative and decorated with silver plastic. Adjust the steering column can be in height and in depth using a mechanical drive.

It would seem that from the Chinese crossover Jac S5, which has not been updated for a long time, was not worth expecting something modern or attractive, but still the manufacturer did not regret the strength and technologies that to this day are not bad compete with newer cars. The rest of the Jac S5 interior looks good, with rich filling and comfortable to control the car.

Price and completerates JAC S5 2014-2018

Today, the Chinese crossover JAC S5 2014-2018 is sold on the territory of the CIS countries. In Russia, the car appeared back in 2015, but the first time was not so famous as now. Jac S5 production in most part has established in Kazakhstan, assembly and quality at height.

Total can be said that the Jac S5 crossover is something among the Chinese and European cars. Designers did not close the original Hyundai IX35 crossover, adding unique features and JAC S5 lines. The interior of the car is a stylish, while not inferior to stuffing up with modern Chinese models, and the assembly meets many European parameters.

Video review of the Crossover Jac S5 2014-2018:

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.

From the indisputable advantages of the crossover, we note the suspension: a car received ahead, a multi-dimensional design is installed behind.

The brake system of the car received the disk, on all wheels.
