JAC Motors Pakistan has officially announced an upcoming price increase for the JAC T9 pickup truck range in Pakistan, effective from January 1, 2026.
The development is significant for prospective buyers who have been considering the popular Chinese-origin pickup, as current prices will only remain valid until the end of December 2025.
According to the company, the impending price hike is linked to the NEV (New Energy Vehicle) Levy, which is currently being absorbed by Ghandhara Automobiles as a customer relief measure.
This absorption will continue only until December 31, 2025, after which the levy impact will be reflected in the retail prices of the JAC T9 lineup. As a result, vehicles invoiced from January 2026 onwards are expected to carry higher price tags.
The announcement also highlighted the strong demand for the JAC T9 Frison 2x, confirming that the company is fully booked until December 2025 for this specific variant.
The Frison 2x is the rear-wheel-drive (2WD) version of the JAC T9 available in Pakistan and has gained popularity due to its balance of utility, comfort, and competitive pricing within the pickup segment.
Currently, the ex-factory price of the JAC T9 Frison RWD stands at Rs 8,775,000, making it one of the more accessible lifestyle pickups in its class.
On the higher end, the JAC T9 Hunter, which offers a more premium configuration and enhanced features, is priced at Rs 10,500,000 (ex-factory).
These prices remain applicable only for deliveries made up to the end of December 2025, subject to availability.
Industry observers note that the pickup truck segment in Pakistan has been witnessing rising interest, driven by improved road infrastructure, lifestyle usage, and demand for versatile vehicles that can handle both urban and off-road conditions.
The JAC T9 has positioned itself as a strong contender by offering modern styling, a robust build, and feature-rich interiors compared to traditional workhorse pickups.
With bookings already closed for 2025 and a confirmed price increase from January 2026, potential buyers are advised to factor in longer waiting periods and higher future costs.
Customers planning to purchase the JAC T9 may find it financially beneficial to secure bookings under the current pricing structure before the year ends, as post-2025 prices are expected to reflect the added NEV levy and broader cost pressures in the automotive sector.
As Pakistan’s auto market continues to evolve, such announcements underline the importance of timely booking decisions amid changing regulatory and pricing landscapes.
