JAC S3 Engines and Transmissions
The JAC S3 engine range focuses on simple, proven gasoline units paired with either a five-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Most versions use a 1.6-liter engine for balanced performance, while a 1.5-liter option is available on some manual models for lower running costs. All configurations drive the front wheels, which is typical for this class and gives predictable handling in daily traffic.
