The JAC Hunter PHEV officially landed at the Melbourne Motor Show this weekend!
This isn’t just another dual cab — JAC has taken the time to properly develop this ute for real-world use, including over 50,000km of local Australian testing.
Key highlights include👇
- Plug-in hybrid system (PHEV) designed to reduce fuel use while still giving you the flexibility of a traditional ute. Claimed 1.6L/100km fuel consumption and up to 1,005km combined driving range — which is huge if you’re doing a mix of city and long-distance driving
-V2L (vehicle-to-load) capability, meaning you can power tools, camping gear, or tech directly from the car
One of the standout moments at the show was the custom JAC Hunter PHEV built with which really shows how adaptable this platform is depending on how you want to use it — whether that’s work, lifestyle, or something in between.
It’s still early days — full specs and pricing are being rolled out — but with a mid-2026 launch, this is definitely one to keep an eye on if you’re watching the shift toward electrified utes in Australia.
Reservations open on May 5th.
