JAC’s T6 double-cab bakkie arrived on local soil back in 2018 and was solely offered with a 1.9-litreturbodiesel engine. Now, JAC has listened to market feedback and welcomes a petrol-powered 4×2 double-cab to market at a more affordable price.
“The market feedback is clear. Customers, especially big transport operators, want petrol engine derivatives in their fleets. With the limited offer of one-tonne petrol engine workhorses in the local market, we have decided to add a petrol engine derivative to our local T6 range,” says Karl-Heinz Göbel, CEO of JAC Motors South Africa.
Under the bonnet is a naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre petrol engine that develops 108 kW and 190 Nm and comes paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. JAC claims a fuel consumption figure of 10 L / 100km.
Standard features include a Radio/MP3 player, height-adjustable multi-function leather-clad steering wheel, cruise control, electric windows and of course, air conditioning. On the safety front, the JAC T6 is fitted with 2 airbags, ABS with EBD, Brake Override System (BOS), rear park distance control,
Some practical features for the J6 include a 198 mm ground clearance, 900 kg payload, 2 000 kg braked towing capacity and a sizable load bed measuring 1 520 mm × 1 520 mm × 470 mm which is sprayed with an anti-scratch and corrosion-resistant bed liner.
