“Late last year JAC revealed its new entrant into the competitive but lucrative ute market, the T9. Instead of coming in guns blazing with some crazy range-topper boasting big power or massive suspension travel, it has attacked the other end of the market, the affordable workhorse, with a sticker price of $49,990 before on-roads.

We get one variant here in New Zealand, simply called T9. No ‘Premium’ or ‘Luxury’ grades or any references to famous off-road trails. It’s well specified though, with faux-leather seats (electrically adjustable up front), ambient lighting, a large portrait screen, two wireless charging ports, wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a 360-degree camera and a hot/cold box in the centre console to keep those pies warm or your drinks cold.”
