New JAC Pickup Aims at Fiat Toro Segment with Competitive Price and Promises to Compete with Giants like the Toyota Hilux.

JAC Motors launches the T9 in Brazil, its new midsize pickup that arrives to compete with the segment leaders, such as Fiat Toro and Toyota Hilux. With a competitive starting price (around R$ 200 thousand), modern design, embedded technology, and good performance, the T9 has the potential to win over consumers looking for a robust, reliable, and affordable truck.

New JAC Pickup Can Carry More Than 1 Ton

The T9 pickup is a model that, despite being from a Chinese automaker not so popular in Brazil, like CAOA Chery, BYD and GWM, delivers a lot of luxury and sophistication in a segment that has only recently caught the attention of automakers. The JAC T9 Hunter pickup has been around for a while in Asia and the model has its fans in several countries, and today it is being tested in Brazil.

The Hilux rival will have its cost-benefit as one of the main selling points, alongside another item that Brazilians value highly, which is diesel engine.

The design is another strong point and the JAC pickup stands out positively. In front, there is a large hexagonal grille with the name JAC prominently displayed, gray trim on the bumper, and full LED optical group, divided into three elements on each side.

On the sides, the T9 Hunter features roof rails, in addition to 17 or 18-inch wheels with off-road tires. At the rear, it brings the brand name embossed on the bed cover, an all-black bumper, and full LED taillights that attract a lot of attention.

Moving to the engine, the JAC pickup stands out by meeting the demand of every Brazilian, which is the diesel engine. The option chosen by the Chinese automaker is a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine, generating up to 167 horsepower and 41 kgfm of torque, which can be paired with a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The drivetrain for all configurations is 4×4, not offering versions with rear-wheel or front-wheel drive. The performance of the T9 Hunter is not impressive, but it has enough power to carry the pickup.

Features Embedded in the New JAC Pickup

Inside, the new Hilux rival impresses and catches attention the most. The finishing brings quality materials on the dashboard and doors with some areas covered in soft-touch material. The interior space is also good and here five adults can travel comfortably.

In terms of features, the highlights include a sunroof, a traction mode selector, a joystick-style gear shift lever, electronic parking brake, Auto Hold, keyless entry, wireless phone charging, driving mode selector, digital climate control, electrically folding mirrors, multifunction steering wheel, as well as a 7-inch configurable and complete digital dashboard.

The multimedia center is also a major highlight in the JAC pickup and the 10-inch screen, which is positioned vertically, has high definition. It offers wireless mirroring for both Apple Carplay and Android Auto. It features native GPS, a 360° camera system, and through the media, the driver controls all car functions.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Dissatisfied with seeing people sleeping on the street, a man named Ryan Donais started building small mobile homes so that homeless people can escape the cold, each equipped with a bed, running water, electricity, and heating.

Workers were opening a modern road in Dover when they found, 6 meters below the asphalt, a 3,500-year-old boat made of stitched oak and plant fibers.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Two 17-year-old Kenyans use coconut shells, corn cobs, and recycled materials to create an exhaust filter that reduces 93.3% of pollutant particles and wins an environmental award in Africa.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Teenagers aged 12 and 13 in Manaus set aside games and start a business with 3D printing; the duo sells keychains, characters, and 800 buttons to the school while dreaming of opening a store to help their parents.

An ancient underground sea of oil could become the new “liquid mine” for electric cars: a USGS study points to up to 19 million tons of lithium hidden beneath Arkansas, sparking a billion-dollar race for batteries without opening a single crater.

The World Cup will serve as a “laboratory” for 5G in 2026, with 48 teams, 104 matches, and mobile networks being tested in stadiums, airports, fan zones, subways, and hotels in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

Oil platform 300 km off the coast generates energy like an isolated city at sea: gas that rises with the oil drives turbines, heats potable water, and keeps 200 people working, but a failure can cost millions per day.
