Verdict
At RM156,800, the Jetour T2 costs RM34,391 more than the RM122,409 Mazda CX-30. That gap buys a 241 hp/375 Nm turbo petrol engine, all-wheel drive and a 580-litre boot, against 162 hp/213 Nm, front-wheel drive and 430 litres in the Mazda. The T2 is also 390 mm longer at 4,785 mm, so it asks more of your parking space. The CX-30 weighs 439 kg less and posts 6.4 L/100 km, making it the sensible lower-cost choice. Pay extra for the T2 if cargo room, stronger outputs and active safety matter more.
Pick the Jetour T2 if you need 241 hp, 375 Nm, all-wheel drive, a 580-litre boot and autonomous braking.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 if you want the RM34,391 saving, 6.4 L/100 km rated economy and a lighter 1,441 kg SUV.
