JAC T9 | ENGEAR ENGLISH

Following its unveiling last October, the JAC T9 mid-size pickup truck has finally been launched in the Malaysian market by Evolvelectric Motors, the official distributor for JAC Motors vehicles.

As previously reported, the T9 is available in two variants, namely the turbodiesel-powered T9 Grand-ES and the T9 Grand-BEV, which as its name suggests, is the electric version.

The selling price starts from RM119,888 for the T9 Grand-ES, while the T9 Grand-BEV is priced at RM199,888. The former comes with a five-year unlimited mileage warranty, whereas the latter gets a six-year warranty with a mileage cap of 200,000 km.

The T9 Grand-ES features a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine that delivers 167 hp at 3,600 rpm and 410 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 2,500 rpm. Power is transmitted to the wheels through a four-wheel drive (4WD) system and a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission.

Conversely, the T9 Grand-BEV boasts a two-motor setup, generating 94 hp/176 Nm at the front axle and 215 hp/342 Nm at the rear axle, resulting in a combined torque of 516 Nm.

Both electric motors get their electric juice from an 88 kWh LFP battery made by CATL, promising a range of 340 km based on the WLTP cycle.

The T9 supports AC charging at 11 kW, requiring 6 hours and 50 minutes to charge the battery from 15% to full. Alternatively, owners can utilise rapid DC charging at 88 kW, allowing the battery to recover from 30% to 80% in 35 minutes.

Regardless of the variant chosen, the T9 measures 5,330 mm in length, 1,965 mm in width, 1,920 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 3,110 mm.

It is proper pickup truck, so you’re getting a ground clearance of 210 mm, an approach angle of 27 degrees, a departure angle of 23 degrees, and a wading depth capability of 800 mm — 100 mm deeper than the Hilux Rogue.

Equipment-wise, the T9 comes with front and rear LED lights, LED DRL lights, side steps, a sports bar at the rear, and roof rails.

Inside, you’ll find a seven-inch digital instrument cluster, a central 10.4-inch screen with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ambient lighting, wireless charging, and six speakers.

Additional features include six-way adjustable front seats, air conditioning vents for the second row, extra USB ports, and a power socket.

The safety system comprises seven airbags, a 360-degree camera, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane departure warning (LDW), lane-keeping assistance (LKS), adaptive cruise control (ACC), and a traffic sign recognition system (TSRS).

Evolvelectric Motors, the official distributor of JAC Motors vehicles in Malaysia, has launched the mid-size pickup truck model 2025 JAC T9 today.

For the local market, there are two powertrain options offered, namely the 2.0L turbo diesel version and the electric (BEV) variant.

Both versions of the T9 have the same dimensional size, measuring 5,330 mm in length, 1,965 mm in width, and 1,920 mm in height with a wheelbase of 3,110 mm.

The ground clearance is as high as 210 mm, with an approach angle of 27 degrees, departure angle of 23 degrees, and the capability to ford water up to 800 mm in depth.

The JAC T9 Grand-ES features a 2.0-liter turbo diesel inline-four engine with 167 hp @ 3,600 rpm and torque of 410 Nm @ 1,500-2,500 rpm, paired with a four-wheel-drive (4WD) system and an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission.

Meanwhile, the JAC T9 Grand-BEV is equipped with a combination of two electric motors.

The front axle motor produces 94 hp/176 Nm while the rear axle motor generates 215 hp/342 Nm, with a combined power reaching 516 Nm.

The CATL LFP battery pack with an 88 kWh capacity allows a range of up to 340 km (WLTP data).

The JAC T9 Grand-BEV also supports 11 kW AC charging (15-100% charge in 6 hours 50 minutes), as well as fast DC charging at 88 kW, allowing the battery to be charged from 30-80% in just 35 minutes.

Externally, the JAC T9 comes with features such as LED headlights, LED daytime running lights (DRL), LED taillights, side step boards, rear sports bar, and roof rails.
