JAC S3 Overview
Slightly larger than the S2, the S3 still honors affordability and quality as much as its smaller counterparts. This compact SUV has the capacity to seat five persons on full leather seats and substantial convenience features. With its size, it takes on with the likes of the Ford EcoSport, Nissan Juke, and Vitara and has a slightly bigger body compared to its rivals. On the fascia, the S3 still utilizes a hexagonal grille that complements well with the entire front. The headlamps could be automatically switched on and off in reaction to changes in the lighting outside. In addition, what makes it stand out is the triangular fog lights, which adds more character to the vehicle. When viewed on the side, the S3 gives this streamline character lines, which goes well with its sportive rims. Inside you'll find this 40/60 folding rear seats that allows a maximum trunk capacity of 1,100 liters – claimed to be one of the largest in the segment. There are also chrome switches with illuminations on the door panel for windows and lock controls. On top of it all, the interior is covered in leather with red stitching to give its occupants a sportive cabin experience. The S3 uses a 1.6-liter VVT gasoline engine with a maximum power output of 116 hp and 155 Nm of torque. Aside from power, this engine supports Euro V emission and is coupled to either a six-speed manual transmission or CVT. Personalization wouldn't be a problem, as the S3 comes in black, blue, brown, red, gray, silver, and white.
