2024 JMC Grand Avenue, Vigus Work pickups all set for MIAS 2024

JMC Philippines is all set to make its presence felt at the 2024 Manila International Auto Show. This comes after Astara Philippines announced that both the Grand Avenue and Vigus Work pickups will make their official debut at the annual auto show.

Better yet, the company has announced some of its specs, features, and indicative pricing ahead of its public reveal at MIAS. The automaker invited dealers, bank partners, and media guests to an exclusive ride & drive to The General’s Farm in Tanauan, Batangas as they showcased what the pickup trucks have to offer.

Starting with the Grand Avenue, the pickup truck will come with a 2.3-liter turbo-diesel engine that puts out 177 PS and 450 Nm of torque. It is then paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox along with a Borg Warner 4WD system.

The Grand Avenue will also have a cargo volume of 1.35 cubic meters in its bed - the biggest in its class as claimed by JMC. It also has a generous 3270mm wheelbase which ensures there’s ample space inside the cabin. Speaking of the cabin, the JMC Grand Avenue will be available with high-quality leather seats, keyless entry with push-button start, USB charging outlets, and a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto.

The Grand Avenue’s indicative pricing will range from PHP 1.221 million to PHP 1.569 million and will be available in the following colors; Cosmic Gray, Pearl White, Silver Sand Black, Sandy Brown, and Shining Silver.

Moving to the JMC Vigus Work, this versatile pickup truck will be powered by a robust 2.5-liter turbo-diesel engine that produces 130 PS and 315 Nm of torque. While it may not be as stylish as the Grand Avenue, JMC says the Vigus Work is positioned to be the prime choice for individuals, business owners, and families looking for the best value-for-money workhorse.

The Vigus Work’s indicative pricing will span from sub-PHP 1 million to PHP 1.111 million and will come in Elegant White.

“The Grand Avenue and Vigus exemplify the JMC difference, exceeding expectations with their high-end features and performance on the road. We are driven and excited to launch our newest flagship, the Grand Avenue as the biggest pickup in its class packed with the latest tech. Boasting an extended 3,270mm wheelbase, its spacious cargo, lush cabin, and advanced driver-assistance systems ensure versatility, comfort, and safety in every drive. Gearing up for JMC’s official launch in the Philippines, we are thrilled to explore greater paths with our new customers,” said Arlan Reyes, JMC Brand Head, Astara Philippines.
