Verdict
The Jetour T1 costs RM129,800, while the Jetour T2 is RM156,800, so the RM27,000 gap is substantial. The T2 brings 241 hp and 375 Nm against the T1’s 168 hp and 270 Nm, plus all-wheel drive rather than front-wheel drive. It is also larger at 4,785 mm long and gets 19-inch wheels, ventilated power front seats, a panoramic glass roof and a 15.6-inch screen. But the T1 is 248 kg lighter, has a powered boot and costs RM120 a year in road tax versus RM439.
Pick the Jetour T1 if RM27,000 saved, lower RM120 annual road tax and a powered boot matter more than all-wheel drive and extra equipment.
Pick the Jetour T2 if you want its 241 hp, 375 Nm, all-wheel drive, ventilated front seats and panoramic glass roof.
