Verdict
At RM199,888, the JAC T9 EV is RM24,000 below the RM223,888 Maxus eTerron 9, yet both are dual-motor, all-wheel-drive pickups with 11 kW AC charging and five seats. The Maxus earns its extra outlay with a 102 kWh battery, 430 km range and a far quicker 5.8-second 0-100 km/h time. Its 115 kW DC charging and 6.6 kW V2L output also suit heavier work use. The JAC remains the more sensible Malaysian ownership call if 340 km range is sufficient, helped by RM305 annual road tax against RM665.
Pick the JAC T9 EV if RM24,000 saved, lower RM305 annual road tax and a claimed 340 km range matter more than outright performance.
Pick the Maxus eTerron 9 if you need 430 km range, 436 hp and 700 Nm, plus faster 115 kW DC charging.
