JAC Shuailing T6

This is the catalogue record of the JAC Shuailing T6, one of 35 models JAC Group has placed in the historical record and one of more than seventeen thousand cars the MotorJury library tracks. The record places its introduction in 2015. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the JAC Shuailing T6 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Ferrari Ferrari 488, the Ford Ford Escort, the Chevrolet Chevrolet Camaro — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the JAC Shuailing T6 reads like this: the record lists its engine as 1.9 L D19TCID7 Inline 4 / I4 turbo Diesel engine / diesel / 2.0 L 4DB2-1D1 Inline 4 / I4 turbo Diesel engine / diesel / 2.8 L 4DA1-1 Inline 4 / I4 turbo Diesel engine / diesel / 2.; kerb weight is recorded at 1835 kg; drive goes through 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 6-speed Manual transmission / manual; the layout is Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the JAC Group story

Within JAC Group's own catalogue the JAC Shuailing T6 sits alongside the Heyue A20, the Heyue A30, the JAC Binyue, the JAC J5. The record names the JAC Shuailing as its predecessor and the class = Mid-size pickup truck as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to sp = us. Assembly is recorded at Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

Why concepts and prototypes are in the library

Most car databases stop at series production. This one deliberately does not, because concept cars, racing specials and cancelled prototypes are where the industry thinks out loud — the ideas tested in public years before they reach a showroom. Holding them beside the production cars they inspired makes the lineage legible: nearly every landmark road car in this library has a concept ancestor somewhere in the catalogue, and the connections run through the era links on every page.

From catalogue to ownership

The catalogue records what the JAC Shuailing T6 was; the ownership database records what it is like to own. MotorJury computes a verdict for every model year the United States federal record covers — complaints, recalls, real economy — refreshed nightly, with no opinions involved. If this car reached the American market, its verdicts are in there.
