Chery, Haval and GWM now hold book value close to mainstream rivals, but dealers still offer noticeably less on trade-in and the long-term durability story is unwritten.

The T6 is JAC's entry workhorse bakkie, on sale since 2018 with 2.8 TDI and 2.0 CTi turbodiesel options. Fleets and farmers buy it as a cheaper alternative to a Hilux or D-Max single cab. Resale is thin because the used market for Chinese bakkies is still developing.
