Key Specifications and Features

The MG Jetour T2 stands out with its upright, boxy design, similar to models like the Land Rover Defender and Ford Bronco. The SUV measures 4,785 mm in length, 2,006 mm in width, and 1,870 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,800 mm. It offers a cargo capacity of 580 litres, expandable to 1,494 litres when the rear seats are folded. The vehicle features a tailgate-mounted spare tyre and comes in Khaki White, Aviation Silver, and Hero Black.

Inside, the Jetour T2 is equipped with a 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 10.25-inch instrument display. Other features include a 12-speaker Sony sound system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, power-adjustable and ventilated front seats with memory and welcome functions, dual-zone AC, a 50-watt wireless charger, faux leather seats, ambient lighting, a panoramic glass roof, and an integrated dashcam. Double-glazed front windows help achieve best-in-class NVH levels.

Performance, Safety, and Market Position

The Jetour T2 in Malaysia uses a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, producing 245 PS and 375 Nm of peak torque. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and features all-wheel drive with paddle shifters. The SUV has a kerb weight of 1,880 kg and delivers a fuel efficiency of 12.7 kmpl, qualifying as an Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV).

Safety features include a 360-degree camera, six airbags, and Level 2 ADAS. The Jetour T2 recently received a 5-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating. Chery offers a seven-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and a 10-year/1,000,000 km powertrain warranty.

The Jetour T2 competes with the GWM Tank 300. Unlike the Tank 300's body-on-frame chassis, the Jetour T2 uses a monocoque body but still offers strong off-road capabilities, including a 700 mm water wading capacity. The SUV provides multiple driving modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Rock, Sand, and X-Mode. X-Mode automatically adjusts settings for off-road conditions.

Upcoming Launch in India

In India, the Jetour T2 will be introduced under the JSW brand as part of a new automotive venture with Chery. The Indian market will receive the Jetour T2 i-DM, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) version. JSW has already patented the Jetour T2 i-DM in India, with the launch expected later this year. JSW Motors also plans to introduce other Chery models, including the iCar V23 and Jaecoo J5, as well as a Chery pickup truck.

Conclusion

With the Jetour T2’s Malaysian debut, the brand is signaling a bold expansion strategy in Asia. Its competitive pricing, modern features, and standout off-road credentials make it a strong rival to established SUVs in the segment. If launched in India, the 2026 Jetour T2 could attract adventure-seekers looking for a capable and stylish 4x4 alternative.
