The 2025 JAC T9 has made its debut in Australia as a new contender in the value ute segment.
Competing against the GWM Ute, LDV T60 and Ssangyong Musso, the JAC T9 is offered in two variants: a base-spec Oasis and a top-of-the-range Haven.
The JAC T9 is equipped with a 125kW/410Nm 2.0-litre single-turbo four-cylinder diesel engine, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a part-time four-wheel-drive system. Deliveries began rolling out to customers at the end of 2024.
