Which version to buy: JAC T8 Pro
If you need more measured power, 2.4 i MT is the stronger of the two: 211 hp (155 kW) against 150 hp (110 kW) on 2.0 TD MT. That is 61 hp and 45 kW more on the gasoline truck. Both are a Pickup from the same 1 generation (from 2021-01-01, still listed with no end date), both use a 5-speed Manual and RWD.

Both are a Pickup from the same 1 generation (from 2021-01-01, still listed with no end date), both use a 5-speed Manual and RWD. There is no third generation and no restyling in the data, so the choice is not “which generation” — it is engine and fuel only.
Generations: what actually changed
1 generation is the whole catalogue entry: years from 2021-01-01, body Pickup, 2 versions. Nothing in the data shows a later generation, a facelift as a separate generation, or a change of drive, gearbox type, or brake layout between the two trucks. Front suspension is Independent, spring on both; rear is Semi-independent, torsion on both; front and rear brakes are Disc on both.
What did not change between versions, by the same fields:
- gearbox: Manual, 5 gears
- drive: RWD
- cylinders: 4, layout Inline, 4 valves per cylinder
- boost: not measured on both
- 0–100, top speed, consumption, tank, kerb weight, gross weight, ground clearance, wheels: not measured on both
So “what the extra money buys” cannot be argued from weight, mpg, or acceleration. The measured extras on 2.4 i MT are displacement 2400, power 211 hp / 155 kW, torque 320 Nm, and fuel 92. 2.0 TD MT is listed as Diesel with fuel Diesel, power 150 hp / 110 kW; its displacement, torque, and boost are not measured.
Specs table (both versions)
| Version | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Gears | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4 i MT | 211 | 155 | 320 | 2400 | 92 | 4 | Inline | not measured | Manual | 5 | RWD |
| 2.0 TD MT | 150 | 110 | not measured | not measured | Diesel | 4 | Inline | not measured | Manual | 5 | RWD |
Engine type labels from the data: 2.4 i MT is Gasoline; 2.0 TD MT is Diesel.
Engines: arithmetic on the measured figures
2.4 i MT is the only version with a displacement you can divide. 211 hp from 2400 is 87.9 hp per litre (211 ÷ 2.4). In kW that is 64.6 kW per litre (155 ÷ 2.4). Torque is 320 Nm; that is 1.52 Nm per hp (320 ÷ 211) and 133.3 Nm per litre (320 ÷ 2.4).
2.0 TD MT cannot be given a litres figure from this dataset: displacement is not measured, even though the version name is 2.0 TD MT. Do not treat the “2.0” in the name as a measured obyom_dvigatelya. Torque is also not measured, so you cannot compare Nm, Nm per litre, or Nm per hp against 2.4 i MT.
Power gap, stated as a share of the weaker truck: 211 / 150 = 1.41, so 2.4 i MT has 41% more horsepower. In kW: 155 / 110 = 1.41, the same 41%. Absolute gaps: +61 hp, +45 kW.
Both engines are 4 cylinders, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder. Boost is not measured on either; do not infer turbo from the letters in 2.0 TD MT. Fuel is not interchangeable: 92 on 2.4 i MT, Diesel on 2.0 TD MT.
Performance and economy (mpg, 0–100)
For 2.4 i MT: 0–100 not measured, top speed not measured, city / highway / combined consumption not measured, CO2 not measured, eco class not measured.
For 2.0 TD MT: the same four performance and economy groups are not measured.
You cannot pick a version on 0–100, top speed, or mpg from this catalogue. Any claim that the diesel “uses less fuel” or the gasoline “is quicker” would be a number that is not in the data.
Dimensions and weight
Kerb weight not measured, gross weight not measured, ground clearance not measured, tank not measured, wheels not measured — on 2.4 i MT and on 2.0 TD MT.
Weight per horsepower cannot be calculated. Ground clearance cannot break the tie. Payload and tank size are not in the data.
Chassis fields that are measured are identical:
- front suspension Independent, spring
- rear suspension Semi-independent, torsion
- front brakes Disc
- rear brakes Disc
Choosing a version does not change those four lines.
Which version to choose
Choose 2.4 i MT if the decision is driven by measured power and torque. It is the only version with 211 hp, 155 kW, 320 Nm, and a measured 2400 displacement. Versus 2.0 TD MT that is +61 hp and +45 kW. It is Gasoline on 92, Manual 5, RWD. Specific output that can be computed: 87.9 hp/L. Torque density that can be computed: 133.3 Nm/L.
Choose 2.0 TD MT if the fuel must be Diesel. Measured power is 150 hp / 110 kW — 61 hp / 45 kW less than 2.4 i MT. Displacement not measured, torque not measured, boost not measured. Gearbox, gears, drive, cylinder count, layout, valves per cylinder, suspension, and brakes match 2.4 i MT.
Do not choose by generation. There is 1 generation, Pickup, two versions, both from 2021-01-01 with no stop date. There is no restyling listed as a separate generation, so you are not buying a “newer” T8 Pro by picking one engine.
Do not choose by 0–100, mpg, kerb weight, tank, or wheels. All of those are not measured on both 2.4 i MT and 2.0 TD MT. Extra spend cannot be mapped to kilograms per horsepower or to a consumption delta.
Short rule: same Pickup, same Manual 5, same RWD, same 4 Inline with 4 valves per cylinder, same suspension and Disc brakes. The split is Gasoline 211 hp / 320 Nm / 2400 (2.4 i MT) versus Diesel 150 hp with displacement and torque not measured (2.0 TD MT). If power and a known litre size matter, 2.4 i MT. If the fuel must be Diesel, 2.0 TD MT.
