JAC T9 vs JMC Vigus Pro
Verdict
At RM119,888 versus RM98,888, the JAC T9 asks RM21,000 more, and the extra spend is visible on paper: 168 hp and 410 Nm against the JMC Vigus Pro’s 139 hp and 340 Nm, plus seven airbags and AEB versus two airbags with no AEB listed. It is also slightly larger in every direction. The JMC fights back with the lower price, CKD assembly and a listed 68-litre tank, but the JAC looks the stronger-spec truck for buyers who can stretch.
Pick the JAC T9 if you want the stronger engine output, longer warranty and better listed safety kit.
Pick the JMC Vigus Pro if the RM21,000 saving matters more than power, airbags and AEB.
