Verdict
At RM199,888, the JAC T9 EV undercuts the RM248,888 Ford Ranger Raptor by RM49,000, adds 288 hp and 516 Nm from two motors, and reaches 100 km/h in 8.4 seconds versus 10.5. Its 88 kWh battery is rated for 340 km, with 11 kW AC and 88 kW DC charging. The Raptor counters with a 210 hp/500 Nm twin-turbo diesel, 180 km/h top speed, locking rear differential, Fox adaptive dampers and Baja mode. For Malaysian off-road use, those are meaningful hardware advantages, though this 2.0-litre diesel is available only while stocks last.
Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor if you need the locking rear differential, Fox Racing adaptive dampers, Terrain Management System and a 180 km/h top speed.
Pick the JAC T9 EV if you want to save RM49,000, get 288 hp and 516 Nm, and can work within its 340 km EV range.
