JAC Group does not build many cars like the Heyue A30: a 4-door sedan with 1.5 L I4, built from 2012 to 2018 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market.
How it came about
The JAC Heyue A30 is a subcompact sedan produced by JAC Motors that debuted on the 2012 Guangzhou Auto Show in China. Marketed as the JAC J4 in Latin America, the car is assembled in Mexico.
The hardware
Under the skin sits 1.5 L I4. Kerb weight is 1110 kg. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual / CVT automatic. The wheelbase is 2560 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Where it sits in JAC Group's history is not in doubt: it was built at Hefei, China. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Peugeot 208, the Mazda CX-5, the Tesla Model X. Its JAC Group stablemates include the Heyue A20 and the JAC Binyue.
