JAC 30: which version to buy and why
If the question is which JAC 30 to buy, the catalogue answer is short and then it has to be unpacked: there is one generation and one named version. The only line you can specify by name is 51,5 kwh. It is listed from 2024-11-01, with no end date measured. Body type is Hatchback 5-door. Power on that version is 135 hp / 99 kW. Fuel is Electro. Gearbox is Automatic with 1 speed. Drive is FWD.

Torque, displacement, 0–100, top speed, consumption, kerb weight, gross weight, ground clearance, tank and wheel size are not measured. There is no second engine, no second gearbox, no restyle listed as a separate generation, and no older generation to trade against. “Which version” here is not a three-way trim fight; it is whether 51,5 kwh is enough of a spec sheet for the job you have.
Specs that actually differ between versions
They do not. modifikaciy in the data is 1. Comparing two JAC 30 engines would invent a second car. Arithmetic that is allowed is inside this one row:
- 135 hp versus 99 kW on 51,5 kwh: both figures are given; they describe the same motor, not two outputs you can order separately. 135 ÷ 99 ≈ 1.36 hp per kW. That ratio is a conversion check, not a second version.
- Gearbox on 51,5 kwh: Automatic, 1 speed. There is no manual, no 6-speed, no dual-clutch listed to pay extra for. Extra ratios are not measured because they are not in the catalogue.
- Drive: FWD only. AWD is not a factory line on this model in these data. You cannot “buy the extra driven axle” on a JAC 30 as catalogued here.
- Fuel: Electro. There is no petrol, diesel or hybrid sister with a different imya. Power-per-litre (hp / litre) is not measured: obyom_dvigatelya is empty, so litres in the denominator do not exist in the source.
- Torque: moment_nm is not measured. You cannot rank 51,5 kwh by newton-metres against a sibling that does not exist, and you cannot claim a torque peak rpm.
If a listing uses another name than 51,5 kwh, it is not a second catalogue version in this dataset. Same name, same 135 hp: there is no Land-Cruiser-style pair of identically named boxes with 299 vs 309 hp here. One name, one power figure.
Engine, gearbox and drive: what the extra money cannot buy
On a multi-version model, “extra money” usually buys more hp, more Nm, all-wheel drive, or a different gearbox. On the JAC 30 that shopping list is empty in the numbers:
| Version | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Speeds | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 51,5 kwh | 135 | 99 | not measured | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | 1 | FWD |
Cylinders, cylinder layout, boost, engine position and fuel-system type are not measured. Do not fill those cells from memory: the source does not give a cylinder count or a layout label, so this article does not invent “inline” or “V”.
What you can decide from this table: if you need FWD, Automatic, 1 speed and Electro at 135 hp / 99 kW, 51,5 kwh matches. If you need measured Nm, a displacement figure, a second driven axle, or more than 1 gearbox speed, this catalogue line does not supply them. That is a reject-or-accept decision on one row, not a comparison of two.
Generations: what changed (and what did not)
pokoleniy is 1. Production of 1 generation starts 2024-11-01; stop is not measured. Body for that generation is Hatchback 5-door. Version count: 1 (51,5 kwh).
There is no generation 2 to pick for “the later chassis.” There is no restyle coded as another generation, so you will not see “1 generation” three times under different names. Year-to-year change in hp, weight or consumption is not measured: you cannot subtract a 2025 figure from a 2024 figure because only one start date and one power pair exist.
Practical buying consequence: you are not choosing between an early and a late JAC 30 in these data. You are choosing whether a Hatchback 5-door from 1 generation, in version 51,5 kwh, is the car you want. Facelift equipment, new batteries under the same name, and running changes after 2024-11-01 are not measured here.
Performance and economy (mpg, 0–100, top speed)
For 51,5 kwh:
- 0–100: not measured
- Maximum speed: not measured
- City consumption: not measured
- Highway consumption: not measured
- Combined consumption: not measured
- CO2: not measured
- Eco class: not measured
A buyer’s-guide sentence that ranked 51,5 kwh as “the quick one” or “the efficient one” would be fiction: there is no second time and no second consumption number. Weight-per-horsepower (kg / hp) is not measured, because kerb weight is not measured. You cannot say how many kilograms each of the 135 hp must move.
If your purchase rule is “only if 0–100 is published” or “only if combined consumption is published,” 51,5 kwh fails that rule in this catalogue. If your rule is “Electro, 135 hp, Automatic, FWD,” the performance cells being empty does not create a rival version; it only marks what you will not learn from these fields.
Dimensions, weight, clearance, tank, wheels
For 51,5 kwh:
- Kerb weight: not measured
- Gross weight: not measured
- Ground clearance: not measured
- Tank: not measured (fuel is Electro; a litre tank size is still not measured)
- Wheels: not measured
Payload (gross minus kerb) is not measured: both inputs are empty, so subtraction is not available. Clearance-based “which version for bad roads” is not available: one body, Hatchback 5-door, clearance not measured. Wheel-size packages are not measured, so you cannot pay extra in this table for a larger rim.
Chassis items that are measured, and therefore are the same on the only version:
- Front suspension: Independent, spring
- Rear suspension: Independent, spring
- Front brakes: Ventilated disc
- Rear brakes: Disc
There is no “sport brake” or “beam-axle” alternative in the data. You do not choose between independent and non-independent on a JAC 30 here; 51,5 kwh is independent spring at both ends, ventilated discs at the front, Disc at the rear.
Reliability and problems
Problem rates, recall counts, battery degradation and typical faults are not measured in the launch data. This article does not import workshop lore. What you can state without leaving the source: the model is 1 generation old in catalogue terms, on sale from 2024-11-01, with a single Electro version 51,5 kwh at 135 hp / 99 kW, Automatic 1 speed, FWD. Longevity versus a previous generation cannot be computed: there is no previous generation in the file.
Which version to choose
Choose 51,5 kwh if you want the JAC 30 as it is catalogued: Hatchback 5-door, 1 generation, from 2024-11-01, Electro, 135 hp (99 kW), Automatic with 1 speed, FWD, independent spring suspension front and rear, Ventilated disc front brakes, Disc rear brakes. That is the whole menu. There is no higher-hp 51,5 kwh, no lower-hp 51,5 kwh, and no other imya.
Do not invent a second pick. A petrol JAC 30, an AWD JAC 30, a multi-speed automatic, or a generation-2 hatch are not in these numbers. “What the extra money buys” cannot be priced: prices are not in the data, and there is no second spec row whose hp or Nm you could subtract from 135 / 99.
Walk away on catalogue grounds if you require a measured 0–100, top speed, mpg-style consumption, kerb or gross weight, ground clearance, tank volume, wheel size, torque, displacement, cylinder count, layout or boost. All of those are not measured on 51,5 kwh. Empty cells are not “this parameter does not exist on electric cars” in general; they are empty in this source.
Summary in one line: the JAC 30 buyer in this catalogue is not choosing among versions; they are accepting or rejecting the only named version, 51,5 kwh, at 135 hp / 99 kW, Electro, Automatic 1, FWD, Hatchback 5-door, 1 generation from 2024-11-01.
