Honda CR-V vs Jetour T2
Verdict
At RM178,200, the Honda CR-V asks RM21,400 more than the RM156,800 Jetour T2, but it gives a petrol-hybrid setup with a 181 hp/335 Nm motor, 7 L/100 km rating, 8.9-second 0-100 km/h time and a 5-star ASEAN NCAP result. The Jetour counters with far more petrol-engine muscle, 241 hp and 375 Nm, all-wheel drive, a larger 4,785 mm by 2,006 mm footprint and richer cabin kit. The Honda is the measured choice; the Jetour is the bigger, brasher one.
Pick the Honda CR-V if you want the hybrid with rated 7 L/100 km, a 5-star ASEAN NCAP result and a hands-free power boot over raw size.
Pick the Jetour T2 if you want RM21,400 lower pricing, 241 hp/375 Nm, all-wheel drive, a panoramic glass roof and ventilated front seats.
