JAC J5

Here is one of the most sought testdrive by many friends and without doubt the Chinese are buying cars worldwide, the Chinese sedan comes in many emerging markets to cost about $ 26,500, this model undoubtedly unlike other Chinese models this calls for a greater focus to items higher number and higher quality.

Meanwhile the surprise suspension and comfort when driving the car also attracts. To compete in the market with models such as the New Ford Fiesta or Honda City and Chevrolet Cruze models like the Renault Fluence and French. JAC is one of the most interesting Chinese manufacturers within the industry "Chinese car" and certainly could not get out of the sedan car segment.

 To attract customers to the model gets a big factory warranty and a list of equipment more than attractive, and the J5 has electric trio, fog lamps, lanterns electrically adjustable in height, digital air conditioning, power steering, radio CD MP3 with USB, six speakers, dual front airbags, ABS with EBD and rear parking sensor. No doubt this is an attractive kit but given that we are talking about a Chinese car. As such we have optional leather upholstery for the seats, light alloy wheels 17-inch and metallic paint.

This strategy taken by JAC from its beginning and is the DNA of the mark. Its direct competitors in the market all have less power in your engine but this has a higher total weight. The model in turn is the longest of all with 4.59 meters long with a wheelbase of 2.71 meters, a width of 1.77 meters and a height of 1.47 meters. Its trunk can move 460 litres.

As to the first impressions of this model to visualize us a design that draws attention mainly for its design well-designed rear lamps. The back comes to set aside the front with a grill that is the actual signing of the Chinese models. Inside the car is simple but not is not complete, the instrument panel is the only item that goes along with the great car.

The driver has good manual settings for the seats; the height, distance and angle of the headrests are more than interesting. Inside the sedan is undoubtedly huge but rear seat passengers may feel some discomfort in the distance from them to the ceiling. Now let the powerful engine, the engine is for me the selling point for proposing a model interest to that market power on the engine hood have a 1.5-liter aluminum petrol 16V unused belt.

The engine features 125 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque of 15.5 kgfm offered at 4,000 revolutions per minute. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 11.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 188 kilometers per hour the company says China. The car to 100 km pro hour speed behaves well, and then the car starts to vibrate a little.

As for the gearbox there we have the weakest point, this is a manual gearbox five speeds. The laces are not precise turning the shifter a bit unpleasant. Undoubtedly speed automatic gearbox would be more appropriate. In a conclusion when the model receives the automatic gearbox particularly buy this car as far as design, engineering, items are plain, while we think the Japanese model Honda City or German Volkswagen Polo are better choices.
