Right ute. Right time. Right price. And Josh Addo-Carr is already singing the JAC Hunter PHEV's praises.
A Plug-in Hybrid Built for Australia
JAC Motors Australia has unveiled the latest specifications for the upcoming JAC Hunter PHEV 4x4 dual-cab ute, ramping up anticipation ahead of its Australian launch mid-year.The plug-in hybrid ute impresses with 1.6L/100km combined fuel consumption (NEDC) and a 1,005km combined cruising range (NEDC) - figures that make it an appealing option for Australian buyers looking to embrace electrified utes without compromising on capability.
As interest in electrified utes continues to grow, the Hunter PHEV positions itself as a versatile choice, offering the toughness, practicality, and utility of a traditional ute with the efficiency and eco-credentials of a plug-in hybrid.
“We’re launching the right ute at the right time, and it will be at the right price,” said Ahmed Mahmoud, Managing Director of JAC Motors Australia.
“The Hunter PHEV is arriving in Australia mid this year, and we believe it will capture the attention of Australians who want a plug-in hybrid without compromising on capability, practicality, and toughness."
NRL Star Endorses the Hunter
Adding to the excitement, NRL superstar Josh Addo-Carr has already thrown his support behind the Hunter PHEV.
“I’ve got a lot of respect for JAC. They’re doing the hard work to make sure the Hunter is a PHEV ute built for Australia, and that matters,” Addo-Carr said.
“The design was a big part of it for me too. It looks tough the second you see it. Being able to customise it and make it my own was pretty exciting. It’s the kind of thing any car lover dreams about.”
As part of the launch, JAC invited Addo-Carr to personalise a Hunter PHEV to suit his lifestyle. The unique build features a custom paint finish by Smith Concepts in Brookvale, supported by PPG, Lenso tyres and a lift kit, hard lid, lighting, an e-bike setup and other JAC Genuine Accessories.
