The
T6 is
JAC Motors' sixth-generation international pick-up design. It was launched as the best competitive offering in the
Chinese market in 2015, with the lowest sticker price, best performance, biggest payload and impressive standard features. Now the latest
T6 has made it to our shores. Here is what you need to know.
The introduction of the new
T6 2.0L VVT petrol double-cab 4x2 Lux derivative results from feedback
JAC Motors received from the market since the local launch of the
T6 in 2018. The
T6's ultra-wide body makes it more versatile for workhorse applications, and the owners are especially impressed with the
T6's reliability, durability and practicality.
The sedan-like design of the
T6 provides excellent driver comfort and makes it an ideal choice for entrepreneurs who use their bakkies for work and lifestyle purposes. Advanced technology and a high standard specification level ensure a comfortable and relaxing driving experience.
The
T6 double-cab boasts a muscular workhorse demeanour coupled with sedan-like comfort. Its large grille, hawk-eye headlight design, straight character lines and wide stance were penned at
JAC Motors' design centre in Italy. Standard features include fog lamps, electrically adjustable mirrors with integrated indicator lights, running boards and a style bar.
The
T6 features a Radio/MP3 player with Bluetooth, a 12-Volt accessory socket, and a USB port neatly placed in the centre console with a closing lid to ensure that you are connected wherever your work or lifestyle activities take you.
The reliable
2.0-litre VVT 4-cylinder petrol engine develops
108kW and
190Nm torque between 3 000 to 4 500 rpm. The powerplant, which pairs with a
5-speed manual transmission, effortlessly reigns in all the torque available throughout its powerband. The smooth transmission of power to the rear wheels ensures a relaxing and comfortable driving experience, meeting various customer demands, from heavy loads to urban lifestyle driving.
The
T6 Petrol's fuel consumption is excellent because its low torque curve leads to earlier and fewer gear changes. With a fuel consumption figure of 10 L/100 km (combined cycle), the 76-litre tank will give you a range of approx. 800 kilometres.
The
T6 features a rugged ladder frame suspension and a double-wishbone independent front suspension with coil springs. This suspension configuration better suppresses body roll with more substantial lateral rigidity, resulting in superior handling performance and passenger comfort.
The
245/65 R17 tyre size of the
T6 2.0L Petrol improves loading performance and reduces understeer. Its turning radius of 6.2 metres results in easy urban driving and manoeuvring in tight parking spots. The
T6's ground clearance is
198mm. It supports a payload of 900kg and a maximum Towing Mass (Braked) of 2 000 kg. It offers the biggest cargo space in its class, allowing ample room for cargo and tools.
The official retail prices of the
T6 range include the company's standard 5-year/150 000 km manufacturer's warranty and a 5-year/60 000 km service plan.
The product line-up comprises two derivatives:
T6 2.0L VVT 4x2 Lux
T6 1.9L TDI 4x2 Comfort
The
T6 is available in six colours from 65 dealers countrywide. A range of accessories is available to customise the
T6 as a workhorse- or a lifestyle partner.
