Overview
The JAC T9 is a five-seat AWD pick-up for buyers choosing between diesel power and a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. Launched in 2025, the Mk1 range starts at RM119,888 with the Grand ES diesel, while the PHEV versions bring far higher output and plug-in capability.
T9 in 2026 — what's new
In 2026, JAC adds the T9 PHEV to the diesel Grand ES, making it Malaysia’s first plug-in hybrid pick-up truck. The PHEV uses a 2.0-litre turbo petrol system and brings 1,000 Nm, a claimed 1,000 km NEDC range, ADAS and 15 kW vehicle-to-load capability. It is sold in PHEV and PHEV Adventure forms alongside the diesel.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the Grand ES at RM119,888. It gets 168 hp diesel power, AWD and an automatic transmission for far less than the electrified alternatives. The PHEV costs RM156,028, bringing 584 hp from its petrol plug-in hybrid system and an eCVT automatic. At RM164,028, the PHEV Adventure has the same listed 584 hp, AWD, five seats and eCVT automatic, so choose the standard PHEV unless the Adventure’s RM8,000 gap is justified by equipment confirmed at purchase.
Verdict
The T9’s appeal splits cleanly. The Grand ES undercuts the Peugeot Landtrek and Foton Tunland entry prices, but costs more than the Nissan Navara, JMC Vigus Pro, Mitsubishi Triton and Ford Ranger at their starting points. The PHEV is the technology-led choice, with 1,000 Nm, 15 kW V2L and a claimed 1,000 km NEDC figure, but it demands a substantial step up in price.
