JAC Motors South Africa has introduced the new T9 Black Edition bakkie, a special-edition derivative that forms part of the company's Decade campaign, celebrating nearly 10 years of operations in the market. The T9 Black Edition is based on the T9 Super Lux and Hunter trim levels and features exclusive cosmetic detailing. This new bakkie is designed to provide customers with a premium, luxurious 4-wheel-drive vehicle.
The T9 Black Edition is available in two specifications, with prices starting at R629 900. Both versions are equipped with a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, but with different outputs. The Super Lux produces 125kW and 444Nm, while the top-spec Hunter has a higher output of 144kW and 487Nm. The bakkie features a four-wheel-drive system and a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission.
The T9 Black Edition features a range of standard equipment, including keyless entry, a leather multifunction steering wheel, automatic climate control with rear vents, electronically adjustable front seats, a wireless charger, and a 10.4-inch portrait infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The bakkie also has traction control, cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring, hill descent control, front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, and seven airbags.
The Black Edition units have exclusive visual cues, including a black radiator grille, matt black 18-inch alloy wheels, and black roof rails, mirror caps, and exterior trim. The cabin is decked out in durable black leather, and the Hunter further distinguishes itself with Hunter-branded decals on the sides and tailgate. The bakkie also comes standard with branded nudge and style bars, a tonneau cover, tow bar, branded headrests, and heavy-duty floor carpets.
According to Karl-Heinz Göbel, CEO of JAC Motors South Africa, the T9 Black Edition offers customers a distinctive blend of styling, special specification, and an electronic diff-lock for enhanced off-road capability. The bakkie also features a low-range transfer case, a rear electronic differential lock, and can tow up to 3 500kg. The 4x4 system can be engaged at speeds of up to 80km/h.
The T9 Black Edition has a range of driving modes, including Sport, Normal, Eco, and Snow. The bakkie achieves a fuel consumption of 7.8l/100km, making it a versatile adventure vehicle suitable for everyday use. With its premium features and capabilities, the T9 Black Edition is set to appeal to customers seeking a luxurious and capable bakkie.
The launch of the T9 Black Edition marks a significant milestone for JAC Motors South Africa, celebrating nearly 10 years of operations in the market. The company's Decade campaign is a testament to its commitment to providing customers with high-quality vehicles that meet their needs.
