As JAC Group celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2024, the company reflects on its remarkable journey of innovation and excellence in both passenger and commercial vehicles. With over 10 million customers worldwide, JAC has cemented its reputation as a trusted global automaker.
Founded on May 20, 1964, as the Hefei Jianghuai Automobile Factory, JAC began its legacy with the trial production of its first truck in April 1968. In a pioneering move, the company produced China’s first bus-specific chassis in June 1990, significantly contributing to the country’s growing transportation sector.
On August 24, 2001, JAC Motors took a major step forward by being listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, a milestone that symbolized the company’s ongoing growth. Shortly after, on March 18, 2002, the first multi-purpose vehicle rolled off JAC’s production line, laying the groundwork for the brand’s expansion into the passenger vehicle market.
JAC Motors made its debut in the passenger-car segment with the launch of the Bingyue sedan on January 17, 2008. The brand has since achieved success across various regions, including North America, the Middle East, Europe, and more recently, Australia, with the introduction of the T9 pickup. JAC’s strategic partnerships with Volkswagen, NIO, and Cummins have further solidified its position as a leader in both battery-electric vehicle production and engine supply.
Known for its robust trucks that deliver exceptional value, JAC Motors continues to expand its portfolio with high-quality passenger vehicles, now available through JAC Motors Philippines, part of the Astara Group – one of the world’s leading mobility providers.
Previewed at the 2024 Manila International Auto Show, the All-New JAC JS6 is one of the automaker’s most advanced and innovative models to date. This premium SUV offers an impressive combination of cutting-edge features and a competitive price, exceeding customer expectations.
Under the hood, the JS6 is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter direct-injection inline-4 gasoline engine, delivering 182 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 300 Newton-meters of torque between 1,800 to 3,500 rpm. Paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, the JS6 offers both responsive performance and exceptional fuel efficiency.
The JS6’s exterior design is unmistakably JAC, featuring high-mounted LED daytime running lights, quad-LED headlights, and a distinctive corporate face that blends modern technology with classic elegance.

The SUV also boasts stylish touches such as an upward-sloping beltline, full-length LED taillights, roof rack, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Premium features include power-folding side mirrors, a panoramic sunroof, and an electric tailgate.
Inside, the JS6 offers a luxurious cabin with two 12.3-inch displays—one for the gauges and driver information and the other for the 8-speaker touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additional luxury features include plush leather upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats, a wireless charging pad, dual-zone climate control, a 360-degree camera, and 60:40 split-folding rear seats.
