Excellent news, bakkie enthusiasts! The all-new JAC T8 models have just made their grand entrance in sunny South Africa, and here at Group1 JAC, we couldn’t be more excited to introduce you to these dynamic pickups. Designed for both urban commutes and off-road escapades, the new iterations of the T8 strike the perfect balance between style, functionality, and value.
The JAC T8 lineup now features two new models, enhancing an already impressive range. Positioned between the entry-level T6 and the robust T9, the T8 offers exceptional value with the 2.0L CTi Lux variants.
With a 4×2 model priced at R399,900 and a 4×4 model at R449,900, these bakkies are among the most competitively priced in their segment. The 4×2 model, in particular, stands out as one of the best deals on the market, outpacing rivals like the Mahindra Pik Up double cab S6 Karoo and the GM Steed 5 2.0 VGT SX in terms of affordability.
Step into the T8, and you’re greeted with a blend of comfort and practicality. The exterior boasts Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lights, stylish fog lamps, and running boards that enhance both aesthetics and utility. The 4×4 model ups the ante with a black off-road style bar, rear step bumper, and side steps, all sitting pretty on two-tone 18-inch alloy wheels.
Inside, the T8 is a sanctuary of ease, bolstered by user-friendly technology. Leather seats, a nine-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity, and a suite of advanced safety features including airbags, electronic stability control, and hill-start control, ensure every journey is a pleasure.
Add the convenience of a reverse camera, rear park distance sensors, and cruise control, and you’ve got a vehicle that’s ready for anything life throws at you.
Under the hood, the T8 doesn’t disappoint either. A 2.0L turbo-diesel engine churns out 104kW of power and 320Nm of torque, offering robust performance whether you’re navigating city streets or tackling off-road trails.
Paired with a six-speed manual transmission, the T8 delivers an average fuel consumption of 7.8L/100km, giving you a range of about 1,000km from its 76-litre tank. This makes it not only powerful but also efficient, perfect for long drives and adventures off the beaten path.
Safety is paramount in the T8. It comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features that provide peace of mind on every drive. ABS, a tyre pressure monitor, and electronic stability control are just the beginning. The T8 also includes hill-start control, ensuring you can handle steep inclines with ease, and dual airbags to protect you and your passengers.
One of the standout features of the T8 is its incredible value. The pricing strategy aims to deliver maximum bang for your buck. With retail prices starting just under R400,000, these models offer features and capabilities often found in more expensive bakkies.
This is complemented by a five-year/100,000km warranty and a five-year/100,000km service plan, making the T8 not just a purchase, but a long-term investment in reliability and performance.
The T8 models are the latest testament to JAC’s commitment to innovation, quality, and value. Each vehicle is crafted to meet the diverse needs of South African drivers, from the bustling streets of Johannesburg to the wild terrains of the Karoo.
