Since entering the South African market in September 2024, Jetour has made a strong impact with the launch of the five-seater Dashing and seven-seater X70 Plus. This was then followed by the highly anticipated T-series last year, all powered by combustion engines.
The Jetour T-Series has been a runaway success story for the brand. Sales of the T-Series now exceeds 4 587 in only six months. Today we also talk about the all-new plug-in hybrid T1 & T2.
Power and torque figures
In the case of the Jetour T1 i-DM plug-in hybrid, the family 1.5 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine is used as the base engine. This is paired with an 18.4kWh battery driving an electric motor on the front axle.
- Petrol engine: 100kW / 220Nm
- Electric motor: 150kW / 310Nm
- Combined output: 250kW / 530Nm
The Jetour T2 i-DM plug-in hybrid is also driven by the same 1.5 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine. And it runs the same 18.4kWh battery, but this battery charges two electric motors, one on the front axle and one on the rear axle.
- Petrol engine: 100kW / 220Nm
- Electric motor 175kW / 170Nm
- Electric motor 290kW / 2200Nm
- Combined output: 265 kW/ 610Nm
Range and fuel consumption
As is expected, purchasing a plug-in hybrid is not just about power, but more importantly about saving on fuel. I don’t have to tell you, fuel also costs a fortune these days.
With a battery electric range that does not burn any fuel, your monthly running costs of the Jetour T1 and T2 will be vastly reduced.
Jetour T1 i-DM
- Battery only range: 100km
- Combined fuel consumption: 1.1 litres per 100km
- Combined range: 1 200km
- Fuel tank size: 70 litres
Jetour T2 i-DM
- Battery only range: 90km
- Combined fuel consumption: 1.3 litres per 100km
- Combined range: 1 200km
- Fuel tank size: 70 litres
