The Jetour T1 has been spotted again in Malaysia, this time in PJ’s bustling SS2 square, as posted on the paultan.org Automotive/Car Discussion Group by Michael Wong Boon Kim.
What this is, is a less rugged-looking (or more urban-flavoured, if you will) and slightly smaller version of the T2, which we showed you recently in Malaysian spec.
Length, width, height and wheelbase are respectively 4,706, 1,967, 1,845 and 2,810 mm. Its tailgate opens upwards instead of sideways as on the T2, and there are big differences in their front and rear ends, including lighting and ‘spare wheel’/no ‘spare wheel’. Both have utilitarian-looking cabins with a large centre touch-screen and an integrated digital instrument panel.
Buyers in China can have either 184 PS/290 Nm 1.5 litre or 254 PS/390 Nm 2.0 litre engines, both turbo four-cylinder units. The smaller engine drives the front wheels through a seven-speed DCT; the larger engine drives either the front wheels or all wheels via an eight-speed auto.
By the way, the T2 uses the same 2.0 litre unit, but that gets paired with the seven-speed DCT and AWD. In China, the 125k-155k yuan (RM72k-90k) Jetour T1 is positioned under the T2, which starts from 140k yuan (RM81k). Since RM179k is the T2’s estimated price, do you think the T1 could duck under RM170k when it launches here?
