If your height is above average, you will have to sit behind the wheel pursed: the steering wheel is adjustable only in height and is located far from the driver. And this is all the more offensive because the seats will suit many: they are well molded, and only tall ones will complain about the short pillow.

In our car, the seats are leather, with ventilation. The massager is also built into the driver’s seat – a simple one, only the lumbar support roller moves in it. However, thoroughbred Peugeot 2008 and Volkswagen Tiguan the same implementation of the massage do worse.

The interior of the new crossover

Despite the fact that the JAC S7 crossover model was introduced relatively recently, the designers did not deprive the interior of the mechanical control buttons, just as they did in the JAC J7 liftback, although they reduced their number to a minimum. The central part of the front panel was occupied by a 12.3″ touchscreen display of the multimedia system, made in the form of a tablet. There is no reliable information yet, but according to various sources, the Android Auto system, modified to the requirements of the company, served as the basis for multimedia. If desired, the system allows you to synchronize different gadgets with the display, as well as display the necessary information on the screen.

Below the display is a pair of air ducts and a climate control panel. It is worth noting that the climate control on the touch buttons. On the one hand, it is modern and beautiful, but in practice this is a minus, especially for the driver. The manufacturer provided only a sound accompaniment, as some kind of mechanical or vibration response. As for the front panel itself, it is made of soft plastic, in two tiers (clearly visible behind the multimedia display), and is also decorated with plastic inserts and chrome elements.

The central tunnel of the JAC S7 turned out to be massive and discreet. At the very beginning, a small recess was placed for storing small items or gadgets. There will be no special changes in the console between trim levels of the crossover. As standard, a compact automatic transmission lever is installed here, a pair of cup holders behind the curtain.

There is also a button for an electromechanical handbrake and an assistance system when starting downhill. This whole set is completed by a small armrest between the front seats, with a spacious compartment inside. As for the JAC S7 interior itself, as already mentioned, it is designed for 5 or 7 seats, according to the formula 2 + 3 or 2 + 3 + 2, respectively.

The seats of the first row received a classic look, high back, separate head restraints and good lateral support. The basic equipment will please the maximum with mechanical adjustment of the front seats. The top-end JAC S7 will receive an electric adjustment of the first row of seats, heating and ventilation, as well as memory for three settings.

The second row of seats JAC S7 is designed for landing 3 passengers, with the possibility of folding in a ratio of 60/40. From the pleasant, only the backrest is adjustable for the angle of inclination. There is plenty of free space for second-row passengers. As for the third row of seats, it is designed for two passengers, although there is not much free space. Rather, the 3rd row will be for children, and then for trips with short distances.

Not the last role in the interior design of the JAC S7 was played by the skin. Depending on the configuration of the crossover, the upholstery can be completely fabric or genuine leather. The downside is that there is no way to choose the interior color, regardless of the skin material, the color will be only black.

Finally, consider the driver’s seat of the JAC S7 2020. All modifications of the crossover, except for the top one, will receive an analog instrument panel with a 3.5″ monochrome on-board computer display. It will display only the most necessary information about the condition of the car. As for the top configuration JAC S7, the instrument panel will be digital, based on a 12.3″ color display. In addition to the basic data, the driver is offered to display the image from the cameras and navigation maps on the tidy.

The JAC S7 steering wheel has not received any special changes, with the exception of a flattened lower part. The steering wheel trim can be plain (soft plastic) or leather, while the adjustment will be only in height. Well, the interior of the crossover will really please with comfort, modern design and free space for passengers in the first and second row of seats. There will not be a particularly big difference between the trim levels in the cabin, individual elements and trim, but in terms of the functional part, the modifications will be almost the same.
