Jetour T2 vs Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace
Verdict
At RM156,800 versus RM166,590, the Jetour T2 is the cheaper, larger and stronger SUV here: 241 hp and 375 Nm against the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace’s 148 hp and 250 Nm, plus all-wheel drive and a 580-litre boot. The Tiguan fights back with seven seats, a quoted 9.5-second 0-100 km/h time, 7.7 L/100 km fuel use and just RM100 road tax. Both are CKD C-segment petrol SUVs with wet dual-clutch automatics and six airbags, but the Jetour has the longer seven-year warranty.
Pick the Jetour T2 if you want five seats, more power, all-wheel drive, a much bigger boot and the lower purchase price.
Pick the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace if you need seven seats, lower annual road tax and factory-stated fuel economy and acceleration figures.
