May 2026.

Glenworth Valley, NSW.

Twelve Australian automotive journalists drove pre-production Hunter PHEVs at Glenworth Valley before the final Australian was complete.

That wasn't an oversight. It was deliberate.

Journalists were invited to experience Hunter mid-development, not just at the finish line. No Shortcuts means showing the work, not just the outcome.

This is part of JAC's ongoing commitment to engineering a ute built specifically for Australian roads, conditions, and drivers.

Global Reveal.

Melbourne Motor Show, April 2025.

The JAC Hunter PHEV made a headline-grabbing international debut at the 2025 Melbourne Motor Show, reiterating JAC’s global reputation as a hard-working, value-driven brand with six decades of engineering heritage.

Reserve My Hunter

Arriving Q3 2026.

Hunter has been engineered for Australia with no shortcuts. Tested across 100,000km, by independent engineers, with vehicle dynamics tuning by Multimatic's Michael Barber. The Hunter PHEV delivers class-leading power, capability and confidence Australian drivers deserve.

Project: No Shortcuts.

Vehicle Dynamics Independently Tuned by Multimatic.

Multimatic's Michael Barber is recognised as one of Australia's most accomplished vehicle dynamics engineers, having played a key role in the critically acclaimed VE and VF Holden Commodore programs.

Barber's involvement forms part of Hunter's ongoing Australian development program. This vehicle dynamic tuning ensures the suspension system is engineered with a singular objective: the precise integration and balance of every component, optimised for Australian driving conditions. The tuning targets confident performance across payload scenarios, on-road and off-road conditions, steering precision and ride comfort.

This work forms part of JAC’s ongoing commitment to developing utes engineered for Australian conditions, and will play a key part in the ongoing development of the JAC Hunter in Australia.

“Having worked predominately in Australia through most of my career, it means that I’m very in touch with what is required on Australian roads.”
JAC Hunter
“The level of testing that JAC is undertaking is testament to their interest in developing a vehicle that is suited to the Australian conditions, and I think that’s quite a big commitment.”

Independently tested by SEGULA Technologies.

Hunter PHEV has undergone independent evaluation by SEGULA Technologies, a global engineering consultancy with local Australian expertise.

Acceleration, transmission performance, braking (confidence and smoothness), drive quality, powertrain, ADAS calibration, ride comfort, handling, torque delivery, off-road capability, traction control, and power distribution to the wheels.

Lang Lang Proving Ground, Victoria. Its demanding mix of bitumen, dirt, and off-road circuits has helped shape Hunter for Australian conditions, because real performance only counts when it’s proven.

Proof of what Hunter can become.

Customised by Josh Addo-Carr, the fastest player in the NRL.

Open letter from the JAC Motors Australia Technical Team.

From a technical and product engineering perspective, the philosophy of ‘No Shortcuts’ is more than just a bold statement. It’s a commitment, something that constantly reminds us of the standard we are striving to reach.

And truthfully, that’s not a light thing to say.

Anyone who has restored a car or built something properly knows what a 'no shortcuts' build really involves. It takes time, effort, patience, and the willingness to revisit something until it’s right.

But that process, the time, the discipline, the persistence, is where pride in the work comes from.

And that mindset isn’t limited to the automotive world. You see it anywhere people care deeply about what they build. Where the goal isn’t simply to finish the job, but to do it properly.

Ultimately, what turns a philosophy and a vision into something real is the commitment behind it. The discipline to keep improving, to keep refining, and to stay accountable to the standard we’ve set.

That is what 'No Shortcuts' means to us.

And we look forward to proving that commitment through the Hunter.
