JAC T9 Dual Cab Ute Receives Five-Star ANCAP Safety Rating

The five-star ANCAP safety rating for the JAC T9 indicates that the vehicle has demonstrated strong performance across a range of crash tests and safety assessments. This rating reflects the ute's ability to protect occupants in the event of a collision, as well as its effectiveness in preventing accidents through advanced safety features.

The JAC T9 is equipped with a broad range of active safety features, including autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane support systems, and an anti-dooring system. These features are designed to detect and react to other vehicles, motorbikes, pedestrians, and cyclists, enhancing overall safety on the road.

In comparison to the Mitsubishi Triton, the JAC T9 showed room for improvement in crash compatibility, particularly in the frontal offset (MPDB) test. The JAC T9 recorded a higher penalty of 6.22 points out of 8.00, whereas the Triton had a lower penalty of 3.16 points, indicating that the Triton performs better in minimizing damage to other vehicles in a collision.

While the JAC T9 scored full points for child occupant protection in frontal offset and side impact tests, there is a limitation regarding child restraints in the rear centre seating position. The vehicle does not have a top tether anchorage in this position, making it unsuitable for securing certain types of child seats.

The JAC T9's anti-dooring system warns the driver of an approaching cyclist when the vehicle is stopped, helping to prevent accidents caused by opening doors. However, unlike more advanced systems, it does not actively prevent the doors from opening; it simply provides a warning.

The five-star ANCAP safety rating applies specifically to the 2.0 litre diesel variants of the JAC T9 sold in Australia. These variants include both the Oasis and Haven trims, which come standard with the suite of active safety features that contributed to the vehicle's strong performance in safety assessments.
