One of the biggest attractions of this new variant is affordability. According to insiders, the JAC T9 4×2 will be priced under Rs. 90 lacs, positioning it well below the 4×4 version. Despite the powertrain difference—with the new variant offering rear-wheel drive instead of four-wheel drive—reports confirm there are no features stripped from the 4×2 model. This means buyers can still enjoy the same level of comfort, safety, infotainment, and luxury that the T9 Hunter is known for, but at a lower cost.
This move is especially strategic for the Pakistani market, where many buyers admire the imposing design and practicality of pickups but do not necessarily require full off-road capability. By introducing a rear-wheel drive version, Ghandhara is catering to urban and semi-urban customers who prioritize style, utility, and value for money.
The leaks also highlight some minor yet noticeable design updates. The front grille has been slightly redesigned, and a new alloy design adds freshness to the overall styling. These cosmetic changes differentiate the 4×2 variant from its 4×4 sibling, while still preserving the premium and rugged look of the JAC T9.

The leaked information suggests that the JAC T9 4×2 variant will be officially launched in Pakistan on October 1st, 2025. While Ghandhara has yet to release an official statement, the timeline aligns with the brand’s broader strategy of diversifying its product lineup and offering more options to local consumers.
The pickup truck segment in Pakistan has traditionally been dominated by 4×4 models, primarily due to their off-road capabilities and stronger resale value. However, not every buyer requires a four-wheel drive system. Many urban users and business owners prefer pickups for their durability, spacious cabins, and cargo capacity rather than off-roading.
The launch of the JAC T9 4×2 could redefine the positioning of double-cabin pickups in Pakistan. It not only makes the T9 lineup more accessible but also strengthens Ghandhara competitiveness against established rivals like Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max. If priced correctly, the T9 4×2 may capture a significant share of the pickup segment, especially among users who value practicality and affordability.
