Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The JAC T9 is a five-seat diesel pick-up for buyers who need all-wheel drive and an automatic transmission in a work-and-family truck. This first-generation model launches in Malaysia in 2025, with prices starting from RM119,888 for the Grand ES. Its listed output is 168 hp.

T9 in 2026 — what's new

The T9 enters 2026 with Malaysian CKD plans through FT Assembly covering diesel, EV and PHEV versions. The diesel Grand ES remains the listed on-sale variant. An EV T9 uses dual-motor all-wheel drive and an 88 kWh LFP battery, with a stated 340 km range. The incoming T9 PHEV is rated at 523 PS and 1,000 Nm, with a stated 100 km electric range.

Verdict

The diesel T9 gives Malaysian buyers a straightforward automatic, all-wheel-drive pick-up proposition, but its entry price sits RM4,000 above the Ford Ranger and above the Nissan Navara, JMC Vigus Pro and Mitsubishi Triton. It is marginally below the Peugeot Landtrek and below the Foton Tunland. The wider T9 line also brings EV and PHEV alternatives, though the diesel Grand ES remains the conventional choice.
