JAC T8 Comfort — The Entry Double Cab, from R349,900
If you want a double cab without the double-cab premium, the T8 Comfort 4×2 is the one. At R349,900 it gives you the same 2.0L CTi turbo-diesel engine, the same 900 kg payload and the same 2,000 kg towing capacity as the rest of the range you’re trading the 4×4 hardware and some cabin kit, not the working ability. It carries a 5-year/100,000 km warranty.
Step up to the Lux and you gain the higher-spec cabin, the option of 4×4, and a 5-year/200,000 km warranty.
Engine, Performance & Fuel Consumption
The T8 runs JAC’s 2.0L CTi turbo-diesel, an engine tuned for torque and economy rather than headline numbers.
- Power: 104 kW @ 3,600 rpm
- Torque: 320 Nm @ 1,600–2,600 rpm
- Transmission: 6-speed manual
- Drivetrain: 4×2 and 4×4
- Fuel consumption: 8.7 L/100 km (combined)
- Fuel tank: 76 litres up to 900 km of range
That torque band matters: peak pull arrives from 1,600 rpm, which is where you actually drive a loaded bakkie. And a 900 km range means fewer stops on the long hauls.

JAC T8 or JAC T9 — Which Double Cab?
Both are double cabs; they’re aimed at different buyers. The T8 is the value play 104 kW, 6-speed manual, 2,000 kg towing, from R349,900. The T9 is the flagship 125 kW and 410 Nm, a ZF 8-speed automatic, 3,500 kg towing and a bigger cabin, from R549,900.
If your bakkie is mainly a work tool and the budget is the deciding factor, the T8 is the sensible buy. If you want the automatic, the towing headroom and the luxury, step up to the T9.
