The double-cab-only T-Series JAC bakkie is offered in four variations, which are all founded on the same powertrain and chassis. The JAC T9 range consists of the following models: 

  • T9 2.0L CTi 4×2 Lux: R529 900
  • T9 2.0L CTi 4×2 Super Lux: R579 900
  • T9 2.0L CTi 4×4 Lux: R599 900
  • T9 2.0L CTi 4×4 Super Lux: R649 900

The JAC T9, built on the firm’s third-generation LCV platform, has a similar form factor as Ford’s Ranger, with the difference in size being only a few millimetres. The T9 is 5 330 mm long, 1 965 mm wide, 1 920 mm tall and sits on a 3 110mm long wheelbase. Its ride height and 210 mm ground clearance allow for an approach and departure angle of 27⁰ and 23⁰, respectively.

JAC says its standoffish double cab is capable of carrying a payload of up to 1 000 kg and features a braked towing capacity equal to that of the Toyota Hilux (3 500 kg). Additionally, JAC coats the T9’s load bed with an anti-scratch and corrosion-resistant lining. Motivating the T9 is a 2,0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine producing 125 kW @ 3 600 r/min and 410 N.m from 1 500 r/min. Paired with the diesel powerplant is a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, which serves as the middleman between the engine and the rear wheels or all four wheels, depending on the derivative. Supporting the T-Series bakkie is an independent double-wishbone suspension system with coil springs tucked behind two-tone 18-inch alloy wheels.

“We are excited to introduce the T9 into our T-Series double-cab range, targeting customers in search of luxurious comfort and the driving experience of a passenger car, perfectly suited to their active lifestyles and dual-purpose needs.” – Karl-Heinz Göbel, Chief Executive Officer of JAC Motors South Africa

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
