Evolvelectric Motors has revealed on social media the JAC T9 PHEV‘s estimated price, and it’s RM162k – smack dab between the RM120k T9 diesel and the RM200k T9 EV. Never before in this country, we’re quite sure, has one pick-up truck model been offered with so many different propulsion methods.
The Malaysian JAC distributor has also been progressively revealing some specs of the T9 PHEV, including multi-link rear suspension, a 360 camera, 15 kW vehicle-to-load (V2L), ADAS 2.0, a five-star Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP) safety rating, a 1,000 km range, 1,000 Nm of combined torque and a 3.5-tonne towing capacity (same as T9 diesel; T9 EV can tow two tonnes).
Evolvelectric Motors said last month that the T9 PHEV will arrive in Malaysia in early November as a fully-imported (CBU) model first, becoming the nation’s first PHEV pick-up truck. Local assembly (CKD) is expected to begin shortly after at Feytech subsidiary FT Assembly’s RM3.6 million, 84,000-square feet Kulim, Kedah plant, which would also make it Malaysia’s first CKD PHEV pick-up truck. The estimated first-year production capacity is 3,000 units, and up to 30% local content is targeted.
In China, the T9 PHEV has a 218 PS/370 Nm 2.0 litre turbo petrol engine, a four-speed dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT) that integrates a 177 PS/300 Nm motor, a further 204 PS/340 Nm rear motor, a 523 PS/1,000 Nm total output, a 31.2-kWh LFP battery, a 100 km EV range and a 1,000 km combined range (both NEDC).
Other China specs include a 5.9-second 0-100 km/h time, a 170 km/h top speed, 30-minute 15-80% DC charging and 5.5-hour 15-100% AC charging. What’s notably different is the China-market car has just 3.3 kW V2L and a leaf-sprung solid rear axle.
Looks-wise, the JAC grille badge is blue just like the EV (red for diesel) and those 18-inch alloys gain unique aero fairings. Inside, the China-market car has a larger 10.25-inch instrument panel, a new four-spoke steering wheel and a new set of buttons aft of the rotary gear selector to control the locking diffs and a tank turn function – let’s wait and see if we get these as well.

Never imagined this ikhlas coming now, be kind.
How sure are you that this is not another gimmick junk? How many decades of history does this carry? Are you implying that the people who gave us the Land rover , Landcruiser , Mitsubishi etc have no clue on what they have been doing the last 50 yrs and suddenly, CCP has figured out a solution to all the problems to car making overnight? How does that make sense? Are you saying this CCP 4×4 handles better than the Triton, more reliable than a Hilux and performs better than a Ranger Raptor? Sounds like a typical CCP junk.
you have good points,
my car gangs have not get rid of thier nightmare memory with the Vivi DSG dual-clutch transmission, Rangup Bi’turbo issue Malaysia suffer and some 3 star EuroNcap jimmei, Hailat diesel bomb pricing effect.
Our main concerns are the selected dealers and the economic impact. To serve the market well, we rely on Malaysian dealers; almost all car automotive founders have a strong history and track record. There is no more short cut way to build a Tata Nano to survive today.
Unlike legacy brands like Alcatel, HTC, Nokia, Ericsson, and Kodak, companies must evolve to compete in today’s modern technology world.
Technology has moved on rather than staying stuck in the legacy past. These old reputation already meaningless today for what consumer wish to get. 2026 H2 we see Global Sales Chart, purely Petrol powered Vehicle sales dropped to 38% only. Electrified vehicles HEV PHEV and EV rises to 51%.
Stop being stupid, please. It’s funny seeing Jap fanbois thinking more choice and competence is bad
Bagus, Kulim will see more CKD assembly operation. hopefully it will complement Gurun automotive assembly vendors too ya. not too far away and in same sector of industry. rise up local vendors and be aggresive in gaining knowledge and cost competitiveness…
