New Chinese car brand Jac Motors is going to deliver relief for Aussie tradies on the hunt for an affordable ute.

The T9 will launch with a two-tier range priced from $42,662 for the base Oasis grade and $45,630 for the fully-loaded Haven model.This puts it above cut-price dual-cabs such as the GWM Cannon and SsangYong Musso but significantly undercuts mainstream utes such as the Mitsubishi Triton and Toyota HiLux.

The company has fleshed out an impressive network of more than 50 dealerships along the Australian east coast. The company will expand in western parts of the eastern states in the coming year.Mr Jiang says the fact utes account for about 20 per cent of sales in Australia shows just how important these vehicles are to our market.

Initially the T9 will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine that makes 125kW and 410Nm matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission driving all four wheels.It lacks the raw numbers of popular rivals such as the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux but it has low fuel use of 7.6L/100km.It’s got all the right hardware for those wanting to go off the beaten track. It has high and low gearing, part time four-wheel drive, a locking rear differential and a wading depth of 800mm.
