Under $50k?! 2026 JAC Hunter PHEV: The Cheapest Hybrid Ute Ever.

The pickup wars just shifted in a massive way! Today on **DRX AUTO MOBI**, we are diving into the **2026 JAC Hunter PHEV**. Just yesterday, JAC dropped a bombshell: a starting price of **under $50,000 (MSRP)**, officially undercutting the BYD Shark 6 and the Ford Ranger PHEV by thousands.

But don’t let the price fool you—this is a performance beast. With a combined system output of **385kW (516hp)** and a staggering **1,000Nm of torque**, the Hunter is now the most powerful PHEV dual-cab in its class. It’s powered by a 2.0L Turbo engine paired with dual electric motors and a 31.2kWh LFP battery, allowing for about **100km of pure electric driving**.

JAC hasn't taken any shortcuts either. They’ve run over **50,000km of local Australian testing** and even had the suspension tuned by the experts at Multimatic. Whether you're towing 3.5 tonnes or cruising the highway for 1,000km, the Hunter is built to disrupt the status quo.
