Omoda Jaecoo C9

Omoda Jaecoo C9

Verdict

The Omoda Jaecoo C9 costs RM12,000 more at RM168,800, but brings 257 hp and 400 Nm, a 660-litre boot, 20-inch wheels, a head-up display and powered boot. The Jetour T2 is RM156,800, has all-wheel drive, a 70-litre tank and a larger 15.6-inch screen with 12-speaker Sony audio. Both are Malaysian-assembled five-seat petrol SUVs with a 2,800-mm wheelbase, seven-year/150,000-km warranty and the core active-safety kit. Pick the C9 for stronger output and family luggage space; take the T2 for AWD and its more substantial cabin hardware.

T2

Pick the Jetour T2 if all-wheel drive, a 70-litre fuel tank, 15.6-inch touchscreen and 12-speaker Sony sound system matter more than outright power.
