The integration of Dxracer, INS diaphragm and a 64-color atmosphere lamp further enhances the overall sense of quality and opulence.

The Flagship model is equipped with state-of-the-art LED headlamps, providing exceptional visibility and a distinctive aesthetic appeal. In the Comfort model, halogen headlamps ensure reliable illumination on the road.
Both models feature Auto Headlamp with Height adjustment, enhancing convenience and safety. The JS6’s LED Daytime Running Lights not only enhance visibility during the day but also contribute to the vehicle’s modern and dynamic look.

These exterior features not only enhance the JS6’s visual appeal but also contribute to an enhanced and safer driving experience.
Interstellar Cockpit: High-Tech and Intelligent Features
The JS6 boasts an interstellar cockpit empowered by high technology and intelligence, featuring the latest generation intelligent 4.0 vehicle networking system. With 15 ADAS functions, including a Cruise Control System (CCS) for enhanced highway driving comfort, the JS6 also features an Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system and Front Collision Warning (FCW) to mitigate potential accidents. The Auto Switching High and Low Beam (HMA) optimizes visibility during nighttime driving. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) contribute to accident prevention, while the Blind-Spot Detection (BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert System (RCTA) enhance overall awareness. The Central Child Lock Control, Electronic Anti-Theft System & Immobiliser, and ISOFIX provide additional layers of security for occupants.
The JS6 incorporates essential safety elements, including airbags, an impact-absorbing steering column, and a comprehensive Camera & Rear Parking Sensor system. The ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System), EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), ESP (Electronic Stability Program), HSA (Hill Start Assist Control), TCS (Traction Control System), HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist), ESS (Emergency Signal System), BOS (Brake Override System), and TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) collectively contribute to the JS6’s commitment to a safe and secure driving experience.
In addition, the JS6 also introduces premium functions that redefine the driving experience. Both Comfort and Flagship models feature drive mode selection (eco/comfort/sport) for personalized driving dynamics, along with the convenience of a smart key with push-button start and Auto Hold for added safety. The Flagship model takes sophistication to the next level with wireless charging and an Electric Tailgate, operated seamlessly with a foot sensor. These features collectively embody the JS6’s commitment to providing a seamlessly connected, convenient, and intelligent driving experience.
Efficient Power and Control: Performance Specifications
Under the hood, the JS6 is powered by a 300T direct injection engine with a 1.5L displacement, delivering a maximum power of 181 HP and a peak torque of 280Nm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, ensuring high efficiency and energy savings.
Built on the lightweight technology of ‘unsprung weight’ by MIS, the JS6 excels in braking efficiency, steering control performance, and overall driving comfort and safety. The chassis design, with a lower center of mass, reduces curve roll, providing better handling and grip for a superior driving experience.
The JS6 is now available for test drives and purchase at JAC Motors dealerships across the UAE.
