Verdict
At RM149,900, the Honda e:N1 undercuts the RM156,800 Jetour T2 by RM6,900 and its RM160 annual road tax is RM279 lower. Its 201 hp electric motor, 410 km range and 78 kW DC charging make sense for buyers with dependable charging. The T2 answers with 241 hp, 375 Nm, all-wheel drive and a far larger 580-litre boot. It is also 405 mm longer and 216 mm wider, so the Honda is the easier fit where parking space is tight. Pick the T2 for load space and equipment; pick the e:N1 for EV running and a smaller footprint.
Pick the Honda e:N1 if you can charge regularly and want 410 km of electric range, lower RM160 road tax and a more compact SUV.
Pick the Jetour T2 if you need its 580-litre boot, all-wheel drive, 241 hp/375 Nm petrol powertrain and broader cabin equipment.

Jetour T2
e:N1 vs T2 FAQ
Is the Honda e:N1 or Jetour T2 better?
The e:N1 is better for buyers with regular charging, a 410 km EV range requirement and tight parking spaces. The T2 is better for a 580-litre boot, all-wheel drive, 241 hp and features such as a 360-degree camera and ventilated front seats.
What is the price difference?
The Honda e:N1 costs RM149,900 and the Jetour T2 costs RM156,800, so the T2 is RM6,900 more expensive. Annual road tax is RM160 for the e:N1 and RM439 for the T2.
Which SUV is easier to park?
The Honda e:N1 is easier to place in confined spaces. At 4,380 mm long and 1,790 mm wide, it is 405 mm shorter and 216 mm narrower than the 4,785 mm-long, 2,006 mm-wide Jetour T2.
Which one is locally assembled?
The T2 is assembled in Malaysia (CKD), while the e:N1 is fully imported (CBU) from China. Local assembly generally helps pricing and spare-parts supply, and CKD programmes usually signal a longer-term commitment to the model here.
Which has the better warranty?
The e:N1 carries a 8-year manufacturer warranty against 7 years for the T2. e:N1: 8-year/160,000 km Battery Warranty. T2: 10 Years, 1,000,000 km Engine Warranty.
