JAC Philippines Introduces its First Full-Electric Vehicle: The All-New Ytterby
JAC Philippines is set to unveil the All-New Ytterby, a groundbreaking electric vehicle that
sets new standards for safety, efficiency, intelligent driving, and value in the urban
landscape. The All-New Ytterby, JAC Philippines’ first full-electric vehicle, will be available
in JAC Philippines dealerships, starting September 27, 2024.
This 5-seater urban-friendly hatchback will be available in two variants: the Air 405 and
the PRO 505. Both offer advanced electric vehicle technologies, design, safety, and
connectivity features typically found in premium EVs. The Air 405 provides a 405 km
range, while the PRO 505 extends up to 505 km (both CLTC). Equipped with a 94hp and
134hp motors, providing up to 135 Nm and 175 Nm of torque respectively, both the 41
kWh (Air 405) and 51.5 kWh (PRO 505) battery capacities are perfect for minimizing
charging stops in city driving.
Beyond range and capacity, the All-New Ytterby boasts efficient and intelligent driving.
Its innovative 9-in-1 electric drive system that integrates nine system components such
as motor, reducer, drive motor controller, high-voltage power distribution, and ACDC,
results in 40% weight reduction and up to 94% efficiency improvement. The 9-in-1 electric
drive system produces an impressive 10kWh energy consumption per 100km,
underscoring JAC’s commitment to sustainability. Moreover, this integrated 9-in-1
powertrain design makes full use of the vehicle space, giving the All-New Ytterby the
interior and trunk space of a larger BEV or comparative ICE model.
The All-New Ytterby’s “Bubble Aesthetics Design” philosophy results in a visually striking
exterior with rounded and soft contours. This is complemented by a spacious,
comfortable interior bathed in natural light from the expansive 1.45m panoramic skylight,
constructed of laminated Low-E glass, enhancing temperature and energy management
while adding an open, airy feel. Tri-color petal wheels add a touch of flair, while the
concealed electric door handles and electrically folding exterior mirrors enhance its sleek
profile.
JAC prioritizes safety with the All-New Ytterby. The vehicle boasts a five-star crash safety
rating, a zero thermal runaway honeycomb battery, six airbags, and seatbelt-off warning.
It also comes with a 3-in-1 intelligent braking system, and a tight turning radius of 4.95m
ensure an efficient and agile driving experience. For the PRO 505, Level 2 Assisted Driving
further enhances safety with advanced driver-assistance systems.
Within a mere 30 minutes, the DC fast charger can replenish the battery from 30% to 80%
capacity. Home charging, using the supplied 7kW charger takes between 7.5 to 9 hours,
depending on the specific variant.
Tonette Lee, Brand Head of JAC Philippines, emphasizes that the All-New Ytterby offers
exceptional value compared to other compact EVs and internal combustion engine
vehicles in its segment. She notes that the All-New Ytterby provides long-term savings on
fuel and maintenance costs. “A good car is born on a great platform. JAC is proud to set
a new benchmark with this vehicle. We’ve combined an intelligent cabin, powerful 9-in-1
powertrain, and class-leading safety features to deliver a unique and delightful driving
experience. And yet, this comes to the market providing spec-for-spec great value, always
giving mind to what the customer deserves. It’s a statement of what’s possible when
innovation meets responsibility.” she states
The All-New Ytterby will be available in two variants: the Air 405 priced at P1,195,000 and
the PRO 505 priced at P1,320,000. Available exterior colors include Beige, Purple, Blue,
White, and Gray.
