CarTell take
We haven't driven the Hunter yet. On paper, front and rear diff locks are standard on the Hunter X but a $1888 option on the Pro. Factor that in if you head off road.
Why consider it
- The cheapest plug-in hybrid ute on sale, yet it claims 360kW, 3500kg towing and 915kg payload.
What to know
- JAC is a small, new player in Australian passenger utes, so dealer reach and resale are unknowns, and the EV range is quoted on the old NEDC cycle.
