JAC Motors announced the introduction of new X200 2.8L TDI derivatives enhancing the popular X200 forward-cab range, making it more affordable for entrepreneurs and transport operators to acquire economical, rugged workhorses.
This move follows customer research indicating that prospective buyers of forward-cab bakkies seek more affordable acquisition prices due to increased budget pressures. With transportation costs rising, the new X200 2.8L TDI derivatives are the ultimate workhorses to reduce ownership costs.
The two new derivatives to the X200 range feature JAC Motors' reliable 2.8-litre four-cylinder direct-injection, inter-cooled turbo-diesel engine mounted under the front seats. This fuel-efficient engine produces 68 kW at 3,600 r/min and 210 Nm of torque between 1,800 and 2,000 r/min. The 80 kW derivative is still available.
The X200's powertrain design boasts excellent fuel economy. Power is delivered through a 5-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels. With maximum torque available at low rpm, drivers can minimise gear changes and reduce fuel usage, achieving an impressive average consumption of 8.0 ℓ/100 km (combined cycle).
A forward-cab bakkie is more practical than a standard bakkie for workhorse applications. Its main benefit is the increased load box size with a much larger load volume, making these rugged workhorses ideal for construction and industrial use.
The X200 single-cab's load box measures almost 2.8 metres and supports a large load area of 4,595 mm². Its cargo area of 2,785 mm (length) x 1,650 mm (width), coupled with 355 mm high dropsides, is designed for optimal space utilisation. Its maximum permitted payload is 1,500 kg, which is more than that of its competitors.
The spacious air-conditioned cabs of both derivatives feature comfortable synthetic leather seats and headrests to ensure a relaxing drive. There is ample stowing space to ensure equipment can be safely packed away, creating a safe and comfortable work environment for the driver and passengers.
The two new X200 2.8L TDI 68 kW derivatives also boast a 7-year/200,000 km warranty comprising a comprehensive 5-year/100,000 km warranty covering essential mechanical components, plus an additional 2-year/100,000 km warranty covering drivetrain components. Service intervals are scheduled for every 10,000 km/12-months.
JAC Motors has over 70 dealerships across Southern Africa to ensure its customer-centric approach to after-sales service provides an unmatched customer experience for all its customers.
