Verdict
The RM7,391 dearer Jetour T1 is the larger family tool: its 2,800 mm wheelbase, 574-litre boot and 70-litre tank dwarf the Mazda CX-30’s 2,655 mm, 430 litres and 51 litres. It also brings 270 Nm, adaptive cruise control and autonomous braking. The CX-30 counters with a lower RM122,409 entry price, a claimed 6.4 L/100 km figure and RM439 annual road tax versus RM120 for the T1. For Malaysian buyers who need cabin and luggage room, the Jetour’s practical gains are substantial; the Mazda suits those prioritising lower upfront cost and a lighter 1,441 kg SUV.
Pick the Jetour T1 if you need the 574-litre boot, 2,800 mm wheelbase, 270 Nm turbo torque and a fuller active-safety suite.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 if you want to spend RM7,391 less, have a claimed 6.4 L/100 km consumption figure and prefer its sunroof, head-up display and five-year free service.
