JAC Hunter PHEV – Australia’s dual cab Ute segment is undergoing the greatest transformation ever. Recent additions from Chinese brands with powerful PHEV engines have disrupted the status quo.
The latest to arrive is the JAC Hunter PHEV.
Priced from below $50,000 plus the usual costs, the Hunter plug-in hybrid dual-cab Ute provides a healthy 360kW of power and a claimed 1,000Nm of torque. Those are stunning figures. Towing is rated at 3500 kg as well.
JAC also claim that the Hunter will have an EV only range of up to 100km and a range of over 1000km from a fully charged battery and petrol engine.
JAC claims that they have tuned the Hunter for Australia’s harsh conditions with over 100,000 km of localized testing.These include ling distance durability, towing heavy loads, hit weather, dirt roads and city and motorway driving.
There are two models available and the top spec includes standard features like:
- Front and rear differential locks (optional for Hunter Pro)
- Electronic adjustable and Heated front seats
- Five off road drive modes
- 360° panoramic view camera and a
- Rear 220V accessory socket
There is strong competition, with models like BYD Shark 6, Cannon Alpha PHEV, Foton Tunland, MG U9 and others.
One thing is for sure, Ute buyers in Australia have never had as much choice as now. They just need to make the right choice for their needs and not be lured by headline figures and low prices.
