2026 JAC Hunter PHEV review: Australia’s cheapest PHEV ute targets BYD Shark 6, GWM Cannon Alpha
Executive Summary
Summary: The JAC Hunter PHEV is Australia’s most affordable plug-in hybrid ute, expected to cost under $50,000. It features a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, dual electric motors, 31.2kWh battery offering 100km EV range, and 3.5-tonne towing capacity. Local chassis tuning optimises it for Australian conditions, though powertrain performance feels modest against rivals.
Brands mentioned: JAC, BYD, GWM, Toyota, Ford, Holden, Kia, Pirelli
