JAC Motors added ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) to its X200 2.8L TDI 1.5-tonne single-cab, enhancing safety for both the crew and cargo. This latest upgrade complements the ABS-equipped X200 1.3-tonne double-cab targeted at organisations with labour-intensive operations.
The X-Series includes two 1.5-tonne single-cab and two 1.3-tonne double-cab derivatives. The X200 double-cab offers seating for six people, an unmatched product offering in the local market. The X-Series is powered by a 2.8-litre four-cylinder direct-injection, inter-cooled, turbo-diesel engine, with customers being able to choose between 68kW (210Nm) or 80kW (240Nm) derivatives.
A forward-cab design is more practical than a standard bakkie. Its main benefit is the increased load box size, which results in much larger load volumes. The X200 single-cab's load box measures almost 2.8 metres and supports a large load area of 4.595mm².
Its cargo area of 2.785mm (length) x 1.650mm (width), coupled with 355mm high drop-sides, is designed for optimal space utilisation. Its maximum permitted payload of 1 500kg is the largest in the forward-cab market.
The X200 double-cab's maximum payload of 1 300 kg matches its single-cab rivals. Despite the space being used to fit three more people inside the extended cab, the X200 double-cab supports a large load area of 3 654mm². The cargo area of 2 215mm (length) x 1 650mm (width) and 355mm high drop-sides can still accommodate heavy and bulky loads.
The X-Series includes a factory-fitted air-conditioner, a height-adjustable steering wheel and comfortable synthetic leather seats with headrests for a relaxing drive. All derivatives feature a Radio/CD/MP3 player with Bluetooth for added safety, while the X200 double-cab also offers electric windows.
Prices and line-up:

The JMC Grand Avenue is a new double-cab bakkie aimed at buyers who need a vehicle that can serve as family transport, a leisure companion and a capable workhorse. As JMC's flagship bakkie, it enters one of South Africa's most competitive vehicle segments with an emphasis on space, technology and practicality.
The opening of GWM Hyde Park marks a return to familiar territory for dealership owner Bradley Scorer, whose career in the South African motor industry began in the same area decades ago.
As South Africans celebrate their rich heritage, it is also worth reflecting on a lesser-known chapter of the country's history: its long connection with electric vehicles (EVs).
