CarTell take

We haven't driven the T9 yet. On paper, confirm your nearest JAC dealer for servicing access. The diesel T9 carries a 5-star ANCAP rating from 2024, which is a useful reference but does not transfer to the PHEV automatically. Cross-shop the BYD Shark 6, GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV and Ford Ranger PHEV.

Why consider it

  • Diesel T9 from $38,990 plus on-roads undercuts HiLux, Ranger and D-Max with an 8-speed auto, 4x4 and 3,200 kg braked towing.
  • 7-year unlimited km warranty leads Japanese rivals.

What to know

  • EV range claim is NEDC, not WLTP, so real-world range is closer to 70 km.
  • JAC dealer footprint thin outside metro and regional centres.
  • PHEV ute resale story untested in the Australian market.

Who it suits

Tradies who tow up to 3,500 kg braked and want PHEV running costs, commuter ute buyers drawn to the claimed 100 km EV-only range, jobsite power users wanting 3.3 kW V2L from the tub, and PHEV ute shoppers chasing a sharper price than the BYD Shark 6.

Top rivals

Look at the alternatives if you need the broadest dealer network (Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger). You want a proven Australian PHEV ute resale story (the segment is brand-new). You want WLTP-rated EV range numbers rather than the older NEDC claim.
