Verdict
These are very different tools: the RM269,800 GWM Wey G9 is a seven-seat plug-in hybrid MPV, while the RM199,888 JAC T9 EV is a five-seat electric pickup. The RM69,912 saving buys the JAC’s 88 kWh battery, 340 km EV range and 516 Nm, against the G9’s 44.2 kWh, 170 km and 402 Nm. Yet the G9 is far quicker at 5.7 seconds to 100 km/h versus 8.4 seconds, and brings considerably more family-focused seating, comfort and driver-assistance hardware. Pick by job, not price alone.
Pick the GWM Wey G9 if you need seven seats, a 170 km electric-only commute and the reassurance of a 58-litre petrol tank for longer trips.
Pick the JAC T9 EV if a five-seat electric pickup, 340 km EV range and a RM69,912 lower purchase price suit your use better.
