JAC Motors on Wednesday launched its new and competitively priced T8 2.0 CTi 4x2 Lux double-cab bakkie into the South African market.
Aimed at customers seeking maximum bang for their buck, the thrifty newcomer is the most affordable offering in the established T8 line-up but comes fitted with an extensive range of standard features.
The rugged exterior of the T8 2.0 CTi 4x2 Lux features a chrome-plated honeycomb radiator grille, bright Xenon headlamps with built-in LED daytime running lights and fog lamps integrated neatly into the bottom of the front bumper. Bold black wheel arches, running boards and a style bar further enhance the vehicle's presence. Two-tone 18-inch alloy wheels shod with 265/60 tyres and LED taillight clusters complete the look.
Inside the cabin you can look forward to leather seats, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, manual air-conditioning, USB ports and electric windows. There's also a multi-information display instrument cluster and nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system offering Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone connectivity. The latter is synced to a reverse camera to aid with manoeuvring in tight urban environments.
