Verdict
The Jetour T2 is the stronger buy on specification: it costs RM3,200 less at RM156,800, yet brings 241 hp and 375 Nm against the Omoda Jaecoo C7’s 194 hp and 290 Nm, plus all-wheel drive. It is also a much larger SUV, with a 2,800 mm wheelbase and 580-litre boot. The C7’s case is running cost: RM120 annual road tax versus RM439 for the 2.0-litre T2. Pick the C7 if that RM319 yearly difference and its powered boot matter more than performance and equipment.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo C7 if lower RM120 annual road tax and a powered boot matter more than all-wheel drive, extra power and cabin kit.
Pick the Jetour T2 if you want 241 hp, 375 Nm, all-wheel drive, a 580-litre boot and a far fuller convenience and driver-assistance list for less money.
