my first car was a torana, no airbags, still alive to tell the tale!
And many didn’t. What’s your point?
@@asum307 dont need to tech to drive, just need to know how to drive.
@@wagganationMFFMhave a head on in a torana compared to a late model say Camry. I know which one I’d rather be sitting in at the end of it. The toranas steering wheel will be probably punch an imprint into your chest and bonnet come through the windscreen. I love old cars eg torana, but safety wise you can’t beat 5 star safety ratings. Same again with side impact, I’d rather be sitting in the wife’s merc with 9 airbags / air curtains than a torana
@@Stevegrande1if you can drive.. how can you have a head on ???
6volt beetle here, but was better than the bus
I think is funny how everyone has an opinion regarding Chinese cars but have never owned one of the more recent ones. Its simple if you don't like them don't buy them i don't know why people have to knock them when they have never owned one and don't intend to.
Exactly, it reminds me of many years ago the same thing happened with Japanese cars, then Korean cars, now Chinese made cars. The current Chinese cars are much better engineered and manufactured than they were even 5 years ago

My friend has tank 300 and we were at snow, while he was getting changed he left his key in the tank and it locked itself and he had to wait in cold to mechanic to arrive while we snowboard and ski.
@@godrambe206 Lucky that no other brands ever have malfunction
Sick and tired of these 2L engines in utes
Driving the milk cartons 😂
Which one do you or did own?
Driving a cannon...towing a caravan, a boat idling behind smoking cruisers and patrols. Not that I would say I'm 105% satisfied but knowing that I paid less than a cruiser loses in value in the first 4 years makes me think twice.
0-100kph: Forever with that engine!
Yep, I'm guessing around 12 seconds going by that kerb weight and power/torque.
Germans got a saying " the farmer don't eat stuff he dont know"......
I saw one today on the road beside the ranger man I tell you it looks bigger then a ranger
WTF is mood lighting in a ute for, actually never mind. I'd prefer not to know...😂
I'd say if you want to tow a 3.5t and and take "the family and all the gear", you shouldn't/cant use a DC ute anyway.
Is it a ZF transmission or a licensed copy of the ZF transmission?
I'm guessing it'll be like the "Cummins" in the Foton...
Manufacturers keep marketing this 3500kg crap, although some have more leftover payload than this. But I agree. Science suggests nobody should tow anything heavier than the tow vehicle unless the trailer has double the amount of wheels, like a proper 18-wheeler.
The lack for reach adjustment for the steering is a sure fire deal killer for me. The other issues are the too small engine and the pricing. For a new challenger brand, it should be cheaper. I won't be buying one anytime soon.
Hahaha reckon you're spot on with the call about the resale...
Works out the same in any car you buy
Pay 40k for a cheap car sell for 15to 20k
Or pay 80k for a Hilux or ranger and sell for 50 to 60k
@@madmanbeau227 Dont worry about resale price. Toyota and other japanese cars depreciate so quickly in china, because their new car price drop even quicker. Corolla hybrid is less than 21,000 AUD in China, compared 36,000 AUD in Melbourne.
Wish TRX.
Lol. Nice one 👌
Front if giving vibes of the Triton and Hilux GR Sport.
Edit: Well well well, Brett said it himself 😂
Yes it seems there is some inspiration drawn from other utes...
Waiting on the Hybrid T9. Good value.
Depreciation will be faster than the 0-100 time!🤣
petrol cars is depreciating anyway.
What happened to Foton? I used to see a few around, but they seem to have vanished. I could totally be wrong, by the way; just my personal observation. I saw a pristine Great Wall X240 the other day - definitely a rarity in 2024.
We still have a Foton. Still bombing on. 200,000ks minimum issues. Owes me nothing, pulls the caravan through rough station roads all the time. So just saying, they are not all gone😉
Foton still here but only selling trucks up to about 15 ton,no more utes,it appears that they have withdrawn from right hand drive markets, south Africa also
@@goldfools5445 Don't they have Cummins engine and ZF gearbox? That's an unbeatable combination
@@willryu2773 yes Cummins engine mine is a manual so Gertrag gearbox. Dana diffs and Borg Warner 4wd system. It’s not that flash but I have no intention of getting rid of it.
They bring out a sport trim ‘Dragon’
On paper JAC T9 looks pretty good. My question, that will only be answered after they have gone on sale here in Australia, is whether is whether JAC Australia plays dirty with warranty and service. If they do, JAC vehicles name will be mud here in Australia.
Nice ram trx 😂
Same length arms haha
Combination switches straight out of a Hyundai/Kia.
Hyundai manufacture for Ford, then suddenly produce their own cars, JAC manufacture for Hyundai, then suddenly produce their own cars. No wonder they all look the same.
42/45 K is not the cheapest price around, from what I have looked up, the engine is a Isuzu design,410 is only just above the gwm ute nms, will go for a look but would suggest 450 nm is about the minimum needed
I'm sure the resale won't hold up as well as a Ranger / Hilux, etc, but I can't imagine it will be *that* bad?
Mahindra seem to hold an acceptable resale value and they're also a cut-price vehicle?
That 220v rear power point doesn’t meet ADRs
Brett Davis I think it needs some major upgrades from the fuel consumption,ground clearance, full steering wheel adjustments and others in particular.I would t purchase it at all despite being new to the game.For me its a nightmare😔😔
The Chinese are getting the hang of European styling tastes….but the engines are still a step behind the times. Does look good tho, and someone who just wants the look (like every black Ute with black windows and black wheels ) then probably ok
But then again, I drive the most hated Ute on the market so my taste is already in question lol (X350)
Jac of all utes
Looks alright to be honest. For the price probably a good option... Id take that over the hilux work mate which is still 10 grand more expensive for 1/2 the amount of car 😂
Si should I buy one?
i suspect the future depreciation curve is gonna look more like a vertical cliff face
Chinese Triton. You can't unsee it
Yeah i actually bought a gwm cannon has 50000 on the clock now only issue is the long dpf burn
Otherwise i love it saved 40000 when i purchased it compared to a mainstream ute with the same tech but more power which i didnt need and most probably will lose 3/4 of purchase price but fk tax deduction and im ok with it .
The driver camera monitoring is the deal breaker. How can they make it not to switch off. Whose vehicle is it. Getting like computers, after you buy it there’s so many embedded programs they force upon you. No thanks.
👍👍👍👍👍
Another under powered Chinese ute.
Any chips in there that report back to the Chinese government? Like their cameras! Good way of mapping Australia…
Yep, they're definitely harvesting data because I am sure they're interested in how mediocre your life is. 😂
Definitely a way of espionage.
They already have Captain Cooks map
It’s called tilt and rake adjustment. My chery moods 5 has both. So it isn’t all Chinese cars …
Thanks. Yep not all, but a lot in my experience.
A ute is designed to carry stuff. A ute needs power. No tradesman has ever walked into a showroom and purchased on fuel effiency, ever! Now with the government about to f*ck things up with their taxing, we may never see a reasonable powered ute in the future. There is the Raptor, but a) it is over 100K, and b) you end up being another dickhead ranger driver.....🤣
Fair call but hi luxes and land cruisers used to have a lot less power and they carried our trades for decades.
@@goldfools5445 and some utes used to have a carby and 3 on the tree.
Are JAC tied up with VAG somehow?
Yes, they have a partnership in China.
that partnership is in China domestic market EV area so not relevant here. JAC is more traditionally partnered with Isuzu in commercial cars
GWM Cannon has a 2 Litre Motor, 120 KW and 400 NM of Torque, On TH-cam Tows a 3 Tone Caravan Around Australia No Problem.
Ok. So now imagine how much easier it would be towing with a bit more grunt, and larger capacity to help with engine braking. Fuel economy would be better too as you don’t need to push it so much.
Anyone complaining about the intrusive safety features, they have to be standard in every car if they want a 5 star ancap rating, it isn't just the Chinese built vehicles that will have it. Blame the government for nannying every Australian with this "safety tech", they think that we are kids driving around doing donuts all day.
I think power output is similar to havals would be good for daily but wouldn't buy for towing
Agree, I think it will struggle towing a mid-to-large rig with those outputs.
You are so negative mate.Why not talk about the true value it brings for under 50k? You cant get anything similar to this on a Toyota, Ford, Mazda, ETC. It looks great, the brand is doing well in the overseas and it looks sexy. So why being negative for 6 minutes?
Thanks for your comment.
I said it looks good, seems to have a decent interior and it offers 3500kg towing. But the rest of my comments are my opinion based on my experience as a car journalist for over 10 years, and having driven all rivals.
If you buy one, you can tell me how it is after 3 years?
Why is it lemon? Owned GWM cannon for 3 years,not a single issue. And you reviewed it as lemon.
Because it features an old (Euro 5), weak (low power and torque) engine and it offers low ground clearance and, in my opinion, copied design elements from other utes. Also, these JACs are not selling well in China yet they are being sent over to Australia, which is very questionable in my view - 15 years experience as a motoring journalist.
If you've had a good experience with the GWM, well done. That's great. I never said it was a lemon. I said the front suspension is terrible and needs further tuning to keep up with the current segment standards, in my opinion.
PS. If you read correctly, the thumbnail for this video specifically asks a question: "Another lemon hazard?"
Toyota Hilux poverty pack workmate ute is $56,000 on the road which is a 110kW and 400 Nm. Basic with vinyl floors and steel wheels. ITS CALLED VALUE FOR MONEY
Yes, but according to Redbook data (based on what people have actually sold their vehicles for), the HiLux drops only 25-30% of its value after 5 years. Brands like LDV and GWM (other like-minded 'value' brands) drop around 50%. In other words, that HiLux you're referring to will still be worth around $41,000 after 5 years. My professional opinion is that this T9 will be selling for around $20,000-25,000 on the used car market after 5 years.
That's without investigating other ownership experiences such as after-sales care, service availability and dealer network, long-term reliability. All of these areas are still an unknown in Australia, which is always a challenge for any new brand.
It will be interesting to see how it goes. If they can stick with it and keep pushing like MG, and even Hyundai-Kia in their early years, I have no doubt they will succeed.
300kg is better than 65kg you get from a silverado at max gcm.
I was out when he said driver monitoring and more beeps.... if you need this crap you clearly shouldn't be behind the wheel.
😂
I remember when every body used to hate Japanese cars and so on and look at now. I think the Chinese cars are already here and proven them selfs. And at the end of the day every car manufacturer has issues including Toyota and ford . Depreciation and value is all made up. When buying cars we all loose out . The Jac looks good and it will be interesting to see the reviews when they get here .
Depreciation is not made up. It is literally the value of the car when it's time to sell, based on what vehicles have sold for. According to recent data from Redbook in Australia, car brands from emerging markets are not holding their value as well as some of the established models. Let me give you an example:
2018 Toyota HiLux SR5 automatic (main top spec)
Price when new: $56,440
Resale value today (official guide): $40,050-$44,200 (avg: $42,125)
Depreciation: $14,315, or a loss of 25.3% on new car price
2018 LDV T60 LUXE auto (main top spec)
Price when new: $36,831
Resale value today: $16,900-$19,100 (avg: $18,000)
Depreciation: $18,831, or a loss of 51.1%
And yes, completely agree, Chinese cars are definitely getting there and I have no doubt the standards in engineering and design will be up to scratch in the near future. But the future isn't here yet.
True but you still loose money mate .
@@avalosfamily8826 Of course. All new cars are pretty much a waste of money. But some hold more value than others, so you don't lose as much.
I think it's an area worth considering when buying a new car that's all, especially these days - everything is a ripoff!
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia The LDV is almost 20k cheaper to start with. It will be interesting to see how they go. They also offer 7 years unlimited k warranty like the GWM. Its a risk you take when buying a Chinese vehicle. We have the LDV D90. Had no issues so far and 2 years in with 40k on the clock. 2.0ltr petrol. Wife loves it.
@@paulhinds7438 Yeah that’s awesome. I haven’t driven that one but I’ve heard it is a decent rig for its price.
And you’re completely right, all brands have issues. None are perfect.
The only chinese made veh sold in Japan
The torque is pathetic.
7.6 l/100km not that good ? Seriously !!!!
Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.0TTD: 7.2L
Nissan Navara PRO-4X manual 2.3TTD: 7.5L
Mitsubishi Triton 2.4TTD: 7.7L
(Keep in mind all offer more power and torque, and most are larger capacity)
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia Real world???
@@kwridgway Official average rating, just like the T9.
What a rubbish pick up. No one in China will buy this.
The hole tone of this Presenter is off i am sure he was given a Toyota after this review,
I Don’t own a T8 I only drove 1 for a day, I own 6 JAC x200’s much more Reliable than the K and H and far more fuel efficient and both the T8 and X200 makes use of the bullet proof Isuzu 2.8 motor
The x200 is good but lack in basic safety the basic versions offered by K and H has ABS, airbags, traction control and electric windows where the JAC X200 has none of these but cost the same
The t8 has it all and more and is Cheaper then the X200 and most Brands,
I owned Jeeps Fords, GWM’s, Toyota’s and Isuzu’s,

The Fuel use was a Jock to my old Jeep, long roads 12+ per km/100 3 Engen replacements, 2 gear box replacements, hell the repairs cost more then the actual car so the insurance wrote it off after the 4th Engen replacement
Stupid Question next time you are looking at buying a new or second-hand car please think about the following
1. Total cost of owner ship Cost of the Car + Maintenance + Insurance
a. E.g. buying an EV, will the Insurance cover the replacement Cost of the Battery Back? All you need to is to google and you will find the cost to replace a battery pack is more then buying a new car
b. EV’s are city Cars as there are no Charging Points in the Bush, “ Cyber Truck, New Discovery, you need a Computer tech just to start them after a Battery fault so not a off road Car at all
c. Most car Manufactures do not understand overlanding 18” mags with 2” tyres do not work
d. E.g. my fossil fuel truck can to 400mils to the Galon and I can carry extra fuel, my EV can do 400miles as well but can’t carry extra fuel
i. My EV car Can do 400miles on the Road and my fossil fuel car can do the same 10l per 100, but when off road that changes as the terrain requires more power so from 10l per 100 you look at 30l per 100
ii. There are no charge points in the Sahara
iii. They and find an internet connection or charge point in the out back for your EV so why build cars that does not have real world application other then to create more Waste.
e. I got an EV as it is the Trend and IS more Environmentally Friendly ? IT IS NOT. Just to create 1 battery creates more CO2 then a V8 Patrol car,
The Truth about EV’s
a. To make a Battery pack for 1 EV creates 300% C02 then a Petrol V8 of the live span of 10yr
1. it takes child labour in 3rd world countries to mine the Mineral’s
2. once Minded all the Minerals are shipped to China (More CO2)
3. the chemicals used to extract the Luit him is 100% more Damaging to the environment
4. one the Extraction is done the Materials have to be shipped to the Manufactures via Ship, Rail, Truks (More CO2)
5. Then you still need the other Mineral’s as metal, and more to create 1 Battery (More CO2)
6. then you still must take in account all the other materials to and CO2 in the prosses to build the car
b. as the proud new owner of an EV you feel Great
1. where does the power to charge it come form
i. Wind ? do you know how much CO2 is used to create a Wind Turbine that 99% of the unit is none recycle creating more landfill waste
ii. the next option is Coal, Gas, Diesel, Petrol 500% more CO2 then a V8
iii. Solor is the Answer ? the best solo panel gives you max 20% use per sqm, and 99% of the Pannal is general waste to land fill
c. a well mana gage Nuclear power plant create an almost 0 CO2 foot print to generate Power
Yes, this can lead to harm if not Managed correctly but it more infirmity friendly
And when you take the new technologies in account the better option
d. As a Farmer Based on current EV technology, I will have to use the Grid 7 times a day to charge 1 Tractor to Plow a field
adding and creating even more CO2 to make fogies, and adding 7 more hours to the day,
on the off seasons I like to explore our Country, but there are no charging stations in the bush, only in city’s
well known thicket 99% of you have not even travel out of your home state or city where you get all the charge points
e. there is this group who only eat veggies, as they will cry over an animal getting killed
to make you’re a grade Figgis we must use Cimices that kill all Bugs, Animals, and Humans
the only way not to kill all life is Hydroponics with cost 300% more the normal farming
I am A V; I eat V I drive V; therefore, I AM ?
I have this word called #Green Washing
How can you add a TAX on the Use of the Sun
How can you add a TAX on the Use of Water
How can you add a TAX on the Use of Air
How can you add a TAX on Animals for Farting, when you don’t TAX your Self ? the Fart TAX Echt must pay
When Government officials travel with 3 or more cars should they not pay CO2 Tax, then they charge CO2 tax to everyone else from their own Pockets
