Verdict
The Jetour T1 costs RM129,800, while the T2 is RM156,800; that RM27,000 gap brings a 241 hp, 375 Nm 2.0-litre engine and all-wheel drive instead of the T1’s 168 hp, 270 Nm 1.5-litre and front-wheel drive. The T2 also adds ventilated power front seats, a panoramic glass roof and a 15.6-inch screen, but its annual road tax is RM439 against RM120. The T1 is 248 kg lighter and retains the more useful powered boot.
Pick the Jetour T1 if RM27,000 saved, RM120 annual road tax and a powered boot matter more than all-wheel drive and stronger performance.
Pick the Jetour T2 if you want 241 hp, 375 Nm, all-wheel drive, ventilated power front seats and the larger 15.6-inch infotainment screen.
