Hyundai Tucson vs Jetour T2
Verdict
The Jetour T2 asks RM12,912 more than the Hyundai Tucson, and the extra money buys a much stronger on-paper drivetrain: 241 hp and 375 Nm with all-wheel drive against 154 hp, 192 Nm and front-wheel drive. It is also bigger in every exterior dimension. The Tucson hits back with an 8-year warranty, a marginally larger 582-litre boot and lower buy-in, so it is the tidier choice if you do not need the T2’s size and traction.
Pick the Hyundai Tucson if you want the lower price, longer warranty and nearly identical boot space without paying for extra power and all-wheel drive.
Pick the Jetour T2 if you want the stronger engine, all-wheel drive, a larger body and AEB for the extra spend.
