Overview
- Jetour South Africa says the T1 and T2 will arrive next month, with the country serving as the first market for the brand’s right-hand-drive models before exports to other RHD regions.
- Both unibody SUVs are set to offer 1.5 T-GDI and 2.0 T-GDI petrol engines with two-wheel drive or XWD all-wheel drive, mirroring China-market powertrains.
- The T2, styled after the Defender 110, features front and rear locking differentials and torque vectoring on AWD variants but omits a low-range transfer case.
- Plug-in hybrid Shanhai versions are planned, with the T1 expected around 2026 and the T2 documented in China with dual-motor 26.7-kWh (about 129 km CLTC) and tri-motor 43.2-kWh (about 208 km CLTC) setups, up to 455 kW and 920 Nm.
- China-market equipment lists include large infotainment displays, Sony-branded audio and comprehensive driver assistance suites, while South African trims and pricing will be confirmed closer to launch.
