Honda e:N1 vs Jetour T2

Verdict

At RM149,900, the Honda e:N1 is RM6,900 below the RM156,800 Jetour T2, and its 201-hp/310-Nm motor, 410-km range and RM160 annual road tax suit buyers who can charge at home or work. The T2 counters with a 241-hp/375-Nm 2.0-litre turbo, all-wheel drive and a much larger 580-litre boot. It is also 405 mm longer and 216 mm taller, so the Jetour is the better fit for buyers carrying more people and luggage.

T2

Pick the Jetour T2 if you need all-wheel drive, a 580-litre boot and a larger C-segment SUV body.
