Overview

The Jetour T1 is a C-segment petrol SUV for drivers who want a more urban-focused alternative to the current crop of square-jawed SUVs, without moving away from a dual-clutch automatic. Launched in Malaysia for 2026, it comes in 1.5T 2WD and 2.0T XWD forms, with prices starting from RM143,800.

T1 in 2026 — what's new

The Mk1 Jetour T1 launches in Malaysia in July 2026, following its Malaysian-spec showing and April order-book opening. The current range has two petrol choices: the 1.5T 2WD and 2.0T XWD, both with a wet dual-clutch automatic. A five-star ASEAN NCAP rating arrives ahead of the Malaysian launch. No later 2026 update changes the two-variant range.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should take the 1.5T 2WD at RM143,800. It costs RM10,000 less than the RM153,800 2.0T XWD, and both are petrol, front-wheel-drive SUVs with a wet dual-clutch automatic in the Malaysian variant specifications. Pay more only after confirming that the 2.0-litre turbo engine and any additional equipment matter to you. On paper, the RM10,000 gap buys a different engine and XWD designation; check the final equipment list and drivetrain specification before signing.

Verdict

Jetour positions the T1 around an urban-centred brief rather than the square-jawed SUV trend. It has useful credentials on paper: a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating, two turbocharged petrol engines and wet dual-clutch automatic transmissions. The RM10,000 step to the 2.0T XWD needs scrutiny, particularly because its Malaysian drivetrain descriptions are inconsistent. Check the final specification before committing.
