Verdict
The JAC T9 EV costs RM199,888, RM29,000 below the Maxus eTerron 9, and its annual road tax is also RM360 lower at RM305. That is meaningful money for a Malaysian pickup buyer. But the Maxus repays the extra outlay with 435 hp, 700 Nm and a 102.2-kWh battery for 430 km, against the JAC’s 288 hp, 516 Nm, 88 kWh and 340 km. It also DC-charges at 115 kW versus 88 kW. The JAC counters with a longer six-year/200,000-km manufacturer warranty; the Maxus battery is covered for eight years/200,000 km.
Pick the JAC T9 EV if RM29,000 lower purchase cost, RM305 annual road tax and a six-year/200,000-km manufacturer warranty matter more than outright range and performance.
Pick the Maxus eTerron 9 if you want 430 km range, 5.8-second 0-100 km/h pace, 3,500 kg braked towing and a 236-litre powered frunk.
