JAC goes dark on T9 bakkie with new Black Edition
Black Edition will be limited to certain four-wheel drive derivatives.
JAC South Africa has unveiled a new Black Edition for its T9 bakkie model, preceding the debut of its plug-in hybrid variant. The Black Edition, a styling package available exclusively on the four-wheel drive Super Lux and the limited Hunter versions, features a sleek black exterior. This includes the grille, roof rails, door handles, mirror caps, and the 18-inch alloy wheels.
The Hunter variant also boasts black finishes on the nudge bar, style bar, and decals on the loadbox and tailgate. The Super Lux does not come with a tow bar or tonneau cover, which are standard features in the Black Edition. Inside, both variants receive a black imitation leather upholstery with embroidered headrests and heavy-duty carpets.
Color options for the T9 Black Edition span nine shades, including white, black, grey, silver, red, blue, yellow, Star Grey, and Hunter Black. The heart of the Black Edition remains the 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine, with the outputs unchanged at 125kW/444Nm for the Super Lux and 144kW/487Nm for the Hunter. The ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic gearbox continues to transmit power to the rear or all four wheels.
The Black Edition, like the standard models, is backed by a five-year/200 000km warranty and a seven-year/100 000km service plan. Pricing for the T9 2.0 CTi models starts at R629 900 for the Black Edition, with other variants ranging from R549 900 to R689 900.
