Overview

The JAC T9 is a C-segment pick-up launched in Malaysia in 2025, aimed at buyers who want a five-seat diesel truck with an automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive. The diesel range starts at RM119,888 for the Grand ES, with a 168 hp diesel engine and conventional automatic transmission.

T9 in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the diesel JAC T9 carries on with the single Grand ES variant. The bigger change for the nameplate is the plug-in hybrid T9, planned for Malaysia in Q1 2026 with 523 PS, 1,000 Nm and 100 km of EV range. It joins the existing diesel and EV T9 range, rather than replacing the diesel pick-up launched in 2025.

Verdict

The JAC T9 diesel gives Malaysia a lower-priced entry into the T9 pick-up family than the EV, with the fundamentals buyers expect from a modern work-and-family truck: 2.0TD diesel power, a ZF eight-speed automatic and AWD. The catch is simple. The diesel line-up has only one variant, while the EV costs much more and the PHEV broadens the range separately in 2026.
