    JAC Hunter

    The JAC Hunter is a plug-in hybrid dual-cab ute aimed at value-focused Australian buyers wanting electrified ute capability without stepping into the higher price brackets occupied by established rivals. Priced from $49,988 before on-road costs for 2026, it is positioned as Australia’s cheapest PHEV ute at launch, undercutting alternatives from BYD, GWM and Ford. Its dual-cab layout gives it the familiar family-and-work versatility expected of a modern ute, while the plug-in hybrid powertrain is intended to blend electric driving potential with longer-range petrol backup. That makes the Hunter a logical fit for tradies, regional drivers and households looking to reduce fuel use without giving up ute practicality. It also gives JAC a more distinctive role in Australia’s competitive dual-cab market.
