Jac looks good I will definitely check it out here in Adelaide. For people saying is Chinese crap, well let me tell you every car manufacturer has its issues including Ford and Toyota. And this Chinese cars have become very reliable and a lot more price competitive than other brands
It's kinda amazing that people lack any reflectiveness when saying, "it comes from China, therefore it's crap" - people said exactly the same about Japanese cars, then Korean cars. Now look what we all drive.
What China tried to do to Australia via trade sanctions was inexcusable economic black mailing & bullying. No one can escape Chinese products , but with cars you can. If Toyota etc are too costly , Korean Musso is a reasonable quality reliable option. Check out Cadogen's report on after purchase warrantee issues with "parts & problem solving issues".
Thanks for the video. Very informative. Would you be able to tell me how the back seats are? I've noticed in the LDV that there back seats are very up right and straight while GWM and the musso are a bit more relaxed. With having kids myself I want to make sure they are comfortable too. I have already booked a demo drive with my local JAC dealership when they become available. Thanks again and look forward to more information and your review when you get yours hands on one personally. Cheers
Cheers Jayden. I actually did shoot some content in the back seat. I will try get that live for you. I'm 6ft 4, so a bit of an extreme test unit, but too far from the modern teenage boy. I fit comfortably behind the passenger seat when it was set to normal sized human depth. Back did feel a little straight, but I wasn't focused on it. When I put driver's seat back to my distance, and then tried to sit behind it, it was uncomfortable. My head began to touch the roof as I had to sit straighter, and my knees had to go either side of the driver chair. Ok for small trips, not treks and not offroad. But that's a my height person sitting behind a my height person.
@@motivatedtravelMy feeling too. The Chinese manufacturers are probably much better regarded these days, but the distribution network is usually hell bent on making fast money.
@@MiniLuv-1984 To be fair to them, they had a local Australian distributor at the event talking through the rollout phase, starting in urban centres and then expanding to rural. It sounded like they had a plan, at least. Plus, they invested in the big local warehouse in Land Cove. So, fingers-crossed.
Just test drove it in Perth Wanneroo today after the GWM cannon. It looks nice and has a decent interior. However..... It does not drive well compared to a GWM. The JAC turn circle is terrible, the engine feels very lacking and steering feels way too light considering how small its turn circle is. The driver seat is also incredible uncomfortable and I wouldn't be able to drive it longer than 20 mins - I am only 30 years old and I felt liked I aged after driving 10 mins in it. The entertainment system is a bit better than the GWM, but the GWM has a better camera system for parking and proximity. There are also a crazy amount of warnings and alarms in the JAC whilst driving that are just not needed and way too distracting. The GWM has the annoying lane assist, but in the new L model, it can be turned off permanently. Honestly, if your looking for a cheap dual cab ute, get the cannon and save yourself 10k....
Yeah I hear you. It's tough to feel comfortable with it after all those years of shotty knock-offs back in the day. Then you find out most brands roll out of the same warehouses in China, lol.
Well at least the Trans is an off the shelf model ZF 8speed (German made) VW have a fairly high stake in JAC so could have an engine derived from a VW Amarok or crafter possibly.
yep because the Ford Ranger engines aren't famous for blowing up? I suggest you do a search for how many issues they actually have. And that is not just Ford. Besides, keep it for the duration of the warranty and you are covered....
Likely won't know for a while as it's not out yet, but they're backing it in with a 7-year-warranty and building a local service warehouse in Sydney, so those a good signs.
@@motivatedtravel 2 litres with modern engineering is fine imho. A modern 2.5 and under is a vastly different animal to a 3, 4, etc. litre 20-30 years ago.

Guess it takes a long time to turnaround opinion from the bad old days.

@@gavinwilkie3544 You got to wonder in whose best interests it is for that to be the pervasive belief?

@@christianlitsch1320 Yeah, that side of the China debate is definitely a concern!

The T9 hits the spot.
Don't let us down JAC Australia with poor service and warranty shenanigans.
Indeed! They need to nail it, as that's Aussies greatest worry from the feedback I'm getting.

@@motivatedtravelIndeed. Hopefully it all pans out so we have a reliable and trustworthy dealership to work with.

Great feedback mate!! Thank you for adding it to the conversation.
Hi, can you get us a POV test drive of one?
They have pushed back the review cars three times now. Not sure what is going on, but even their promise of this year is looking shaky now.
@@motivatedtravel Oh, In Sri Lanka it is being assembled now, may be I could get a test drive myself.
@@grow-with-dhasan If you do, let us know what you think!
My 2016 LDV van is still going strong.
What's the relationship between LDV and JAC?
this diesel engine comes with electric fan? or fanclutch?
Fan clutch I believe.
@motivatedtravel but You saw it?
@@FK-Jaja Yes, I was at the launch.
It looks really good inside and out. I'm still concerned about the Chinese made engines and transmissions
Yeah I hear you. It's tough to feel comfortable with it after all those years of shotty knock-offs back in the day. Then you find out most brands roll out of the same warehouses in China, lol.
@@motivatedtravel So True. A shit load of cars come out of China now.
Well at least the Trans is an off the shelf model ZF 8speed (German made) VW have a fairly high stake in JAC so could have an engine derived from a VW Amarok or crafter possibly.
@@Nathan-rn8yg Might ask tjem about the VW link actually, see if I can work out where it plays in.

Its not a bad looking ute but the driving motion sensor is a real deal breaker for me
Yeah will be interesting to see how it goes, but they've delayed the review cars so many times now.
Why are they bringing the ICE version here? It should be their EV version only.
Maybe for the rural market?
EV's are only useful for town cars. This is a ute people may actually want to travel or tow something with.
how is reliability like
Likely won't know for a while as it's not out yet, but they're backing it in with a 7-year-warranty and building a local service warehouse in Sydney, so those a good signs.
I’m in
@@stephensmith8300 Not long to wait!
The interior is copy if the wild truck from ford im right?
They're probably all copying each other to a certain extent. Same factory for half the kit.
It's a nice looking vehicle let's hope it's reliable. Still waiting for a bit of Chinese reliability
7-year warranty bodes well.
2 liters is not enough JAC.
I've heard some people suggesting 3L would have been the go - what do you reckon it should be?
yes it is mate. It's a 1 ton ute not a frikin MR truck
@@motivatedtravel 2 litres with modern engineering is fine imho. A modern 2.5 and under is a vastly different animal to a 3, 4, etc. litre 20-30 years ago.
Двигатель 2 л турбобензин для рамного авто массой 2,5 т это позорище😂
Многие люди здесь, в Австралии, с вами согласны.

Judging by the number of V8s getting around, still, when are these numbnuts bringing out a V8 that's affordable?
Me SS is getting long in the tooth!
Mate I think those days are over sadly.
way way way OVERPRICED
Many feel that way from the sounds of it.
