All-new JAC JS2 Pro ready to contend in PH subcompact crossover arena

The all-new JAC JS2 Pro has been officially unveiled in the Philippines.

In a statement, JAC Cars Philippines said that the subcompact crossover — which is eyed to meet the demands of first-time car buyers — is “made to be one’s daily driver.”

“Whether navigating the commute going to work or setting off on weekend adventures with family and friends, this vehicle is designed to be a part of one’s everyday story. While it shares a price point with typical hatchbacks and sedans, the all-new JS2 Pro is made to be ahead than the typical. It is for those who seek a little extra in their daily drive—a car that feels special without being complicated, making every drive enjoyable and effortless,” the Astara-led Philippine distributor noted.

Per JAC Philippines Brand Head Tonette Lee, the new offering demonstrates the brand’s “user-centric approach to designing vehicles.”

“This model is dedicated to customers who have worked hard to achieve the milestone of owning their first brand-new car. With user-friendly technology that caters to both newcomers and seasoned drivers, it ensures every journey is safe and enjoyable. It’s not about paying less; it’s about getting more—more comfort, more confidence, and more adventures ahead,” she explained.

“The all-new JS2 Pro provides more space than many in its class, but it doesn’t just provide space—it offers freedom to move.  As we say at Astara:  Move. It’s your right. Make your move with JAC,” Lee noted.
