JAC’s X200 workhorse fits perfectly in any business …and N$90 000 savings will even impress the finance department

JAC Motors’ definitive flatbed workhorse, the X200, is the ideal vehicle for any size business due to the wide diversity of applications it offers. This wide range of applications makes the JAC X200 a practical and versatile choice, ensuring safe, comfortable, and on-time transportation of staff and cargo, no matter how far or how challenging the destination. 

Now, JAC Motors Namibia, part of the M&Z Motors stable, is giving local businesses more reason to acquire the X200 workhorse by offering unbeatable savings of N$90 000 on both the single and double cab versions. This means the double cab currently retails for N$339 000 while the single cab goes for a mere N$329 000.

Combined with JAC Motors Namibia’s great warranty for the X200, a seven-year/200 000km warranty, for this commercial vehicle, then the value for money makes the X200 a worthwhile addition to any business’ fleet.

The X200 double-cab incorporates a 1.3-tonne forward-cab that boasts a 2.8L TDI’s configuration as a unique offering in Namibia. This double-cab design provides an expanded load box and payload capacity while being able to accommodate six staff legally and safely, enhancing productivity and cost-efficiency.

What’s more is that the X200 double-cab’s ultra-low flat deck is perfect for rapid loading and unloading, which is quite an impressive feat considering the double-cab boasts the same load capacity as single-cab counterparts. 

Also, the X200’s ultra-flat low deck offers more deck clearance, making loading and unloading goods easier and faster. The deck clearance is 785mm for both the single and double cabs, which is 30% lower than normal light trucks.

The X200’s embody JAC’s truck DNA, which is synonymous with a powerful engine and a strong chassis. The X200 curb weight is 20% lighter than a light truck, saving more operational costs for businesses. In addition, with a new truck steering system, the X200’s turning radius is smaller than 5.5 metres.

The small truck offers front independent suspension and disc brakes, which culminate in an excellent driving performance. The front-cabin maintenance space provides customers with easy access to top up liquids when required. 

Meanwhile, the X200 2.8L TDI’s 1.5-tonne single cab layout also offers superior practicality compared to conventional bakkies. This configuration significantly enhances load box dimensions and enables larger load capacities. Designed with an ideal ride height as well as the ultra-low flat deck, it caters to modern cargo transport demands, ensuring quick and efficient loading and unloading.

The X200 features JAC Motors’ latest heavy-duty ladder-frame chassis, engineered with advanced stamping and welding treatments, ensuring durability for diverse body applications and the ability to manage heavy loads in challenging conditions.

Meanwhile, the extensive warranty covers essential mechanical components such as the diesel pump, turbocharger, injectors and more, as well as an additional two-year/100 000km warranty covering the internal engine gearbox and differential components. 

JAC Motors’ dealer network covers over 70 locations across southern Africa, including Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Eswatini, Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. This extensive reach ensures the brand’s after-sales service meets global brand standards.

JAC also offers ABS (anti-lock braking system) on all X200 single cabs, which is a crucial feature for today’s challenging road conditions. This is the only brand in Namibia that provides ABS as a standard feature on forward-cab bakkies, leading the way in safe transportation practices.

JAC’s X-series features 68 kW/210 Nm and 80 kW/240 Nm turbo-diesel derivatives. Both options ensure excellent fuel economy, delivering maximum torque at low RPM to reduce gear changes, conserve fuel, and enhance overall efficiency for diverse applications. The average fuel consumption of the X200 is 8.0 ℓ/100 km (combined cycle) and it supports a tow mass (braked) of 1 250 kg.

A forward-cab design is more practical than a standard bakkie, with its main benefit being 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 4 595 mm². Its cargo area of 2 785 mm (length) x 1,650 mm (width), coupled with 355 mm high drop-sides, is designed for optimal space utilisation.
