JAC Motors Brought to the Brazilian Market the Much-Awaited Hunter Pickup, Marking Its Return to the Combustion Vehicle Segment. Officially Launched at the End of 2024, the Hunter Is Now Available and Promises to Challenge Major Competitors Such as the Toyota Hilux and the Ford Ranger with Robust Features and Top Performance.
JAC Motors has officially launched the Hunter T9 pickup in Brazil, marking its return to the combustion vehicle market in the country. The Hunter T9 is equipped with a 2.0 turbodiesel engine producing 191 hp, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF. With a loading capacity of up to 1.4 tons, the pickup stands out as the largest and tallest in its category. JAC’s new pickup offers an eight-year warranty for the model, the longest in the segment. The company aims to sell between 3,000 and 4,000 units per year, targeting about 2% market share in the medium pickup segment in Brazil.
New JAC Diesel Pickup Will Have a Loading Capacity of 1,400 kg
According to the president, the JAC Hunter pickup will be sold in electric and diesel configurations. The company will launch an electric pickup and will also launch a diesel pickup. According to Habib, the launch is part of a new strategy for the company to capitalize on the network in the countryside. The executive emphasizes that he was forced to launch a diesel pickup, as it was not his intention. In Habib’s view, only a diesel pickup would have chances of surpassing sales of the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, and others.
The electric configuration of the new pickup is more focused on companies in large urban centers that want a clean and economical cargo vehicle for transportation within the city. According to the executive, pointing to the first half of 2024, this JAC Hunter pickup is the largest in the market. It will have excellent warranty coverage and the highest loading capacity: 1,400 kg.

The rival to the Hilux and Ranger will be positioned in the medium pickup segment and will be launched in a few months. It has not yet been confirmed whether the diesel and battery pickup will be sold in Brazil as Hunter, T9, or if it will take another unique name. Recently, the media spotted a prototype of the truck parked on a street in Taboão da Serra (SP), with minimal camouflage.
JAC Hunter Pickup Delivers 170 Horsepower
The rival to the Hilux and Ranger represents a deep update of the Shuailing T8, which is already offered in Brazil as the iEV-330P. Thus, in practice, its electric configuration will be a direct replacement for its predecessor. The diesel version will arrive as a range complement and mark JAC’s return to combustion engines in Brazil. It is worth noting that JAC was the first vehicle brand operating in Brazil to offer a fully electric product range.
Now, it will take a step back, which helps justify Habib’s statement that he did not want to launch a diesel model. In this configuration, the Hunter T9 features a 2.0 four-cylinder 16V turbo diesel engine with 170 horsepower and 41.8 kgfm of torque. The transmission is an eight-speed automatic, with 4×4 drive equipped with low range and locking rear differential. The towing capacity (with brakes) is 3,500 kg.
Pickup’s Range Reaches 226 km in Electric Version
The electric variant carries the same powertrain as the IEV330P currently sold. It delivers 204 horsepower and 30.1 kgfm of torque, with rear 4×2 drive. However, the LFP battery pack, supplied by CATL, will increase in capacity from 65.3 kWh to 77 kWh. Thus, the range in Inmetro should exceed the current 226 km.
The SHC group is expected to bring the diesel pickup in the extended crew cab specification. In terms of dimensions, it measures 5,620 mm in length, 3,400 mm in wheelbase, 1,965 mm in width, and 1,920 mm in height. The interior includes a 10.4-inch multimedia center, wireless phone charger, 7-inch digital instrument panel, and much more.
