The top of the line JAC T9 ute is set to launch in New Zealand in the coming months. Pronounced ‘Jack’ – according to JAC this ute is as no nonsense as it sounds, and that’s been the exact approach taken to its early New Zealand induction.
“We’ve had the JAC T9 ute four-wheel driving through a range of Kiwi terrain for months already, including snow, mud, sand, metal, river crossings and more. We even put it through the toughest test for any new NZ vehicle – a long road trip with Kiwi kids in the back!” says JAC General Manager, Andrew Craw.
“No surprises – it came up trumps. We’ve worked with the factory to ensure this model is designed and refined for Kiwis, so I can honestly say we’re all jacked up and champing at the bit for the launch.”
The JAC T9 Ute arrives in New Zealand with a 5 Star ANCAP Safety Rating, a full suite of safety systems, as well as performance and comfort features, says JAC.
The company also claims the ute is built for the toughest environments, and with an impressive track record and sales pedigree in South Africa and Australia especially, more than 300,000 JAC utes have already proven themselves after rolling out of the state-of-the-art factory in China.
The team behind JAC in New Zealand has recently expanded its nationwide dealer network and has proudly supported Kiwis in automotive for over 100 years, says JAC General Manager, Andrew Craw.
“Our goal for JAC was to be able to provide Kiwis with support up and down the country. We’ve already had nationwide servicing coverage for our light trucks through our Southpac network, and our existing two sales locations, so adding nine new full dealerships from the Colonial Motor Company (CMC) network is another milestone for the brand.”
The new locations will include New Plymouth, Pukekohe, Masterton, Lower Hutt, Kapiti, Timaru, Dunedin, Invercargill and Queenstown, complimenting the existing two dealerships in Manukau and Christchurch.
