The ex-factory price of the T9 Hunter pickup truck is set at Rs 9,750,000, making it an attractive choice for those seeking a premium double-cabin pickup.

Key Features and Specifications
Engine and Performance:
The JAC T9 Hunter is powered by a 2.0L turbo diesel engine, offering 170 hp of power and 410 Nm of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a robust 4×4 drivetrain, it’s built to handle demanding off-road conditions with ease.
Exterior:
With a bold, rugged design, the JAC T9 Hunter stands out with LED headlamps and DRLs, roof rails, and an imposing grille up front. These features enhance its modern and adventurous appeal, making it ideal for both outdoor enthusiasts and professionals.
Interior:
The interior of the T9 Hunter combines luxury with functionality, featuring leather-accented seats and a 10.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Modern comforts such as wireless charging, rear AC vents, and plenty of storage space ensure a seamless and comfortable driving experience. It also comes equipped with a sunroof, the first in the segment.
Safety Features:
The T9 Hunter offers advanced systems like ABS, EBD, traction control, electronic stability control, 4 airbags, rear parking sensors, and a 360° view camera. These features enhance both driver and passenger confidence on the road.
Target Market and Competition:
Aiming to compete with top contenders like the Toyota Hilux Revo, the JAC T9 Hunter offers a competitive price point alongside cutting-edge features. Its powerful performance and premium amenities make it a great choice for those in need of a versatile, reliable, and stylish 4×4 double-cabin pickup—suitable for both personal and commercial use. While it’s a tough ask for any newcomer to challenge the supremacy of the Toyota Hilux, the T9 Hunter can surely create problems for the already struggling Isuzu D-Max.
JAC T9 Hunter in Pakistan
The JAC T9 Hunter has garnered a positive initial response, primarily due to its competitive pricing, which is the lowest among its rivals. However, its success in the market will ultimately depend on its performance and the after-sales service offered by the company. With Ghandhara’s track record in the local market being less than ideal, it remains to be seen whether they can turn things around with the T9 Hunter.
