VT9 in 2026 — what's new
The VT9 carries on into 2026 unchanged, with no 2026-specific model update announced. The range remains the Comfort and Prime, both seven-seat, front-wheel-drive petrol versions using the 1.5-litre turbocharged 154 hp engine and wet dual-clutch automatic. Malaysian assembly began in Tampoi, Johor during 2025. The latest VT9 development in 2026 is the launch of Jetour Malaysia Club for VT9 owners.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the RM119,350 Comfort. It has the same 1,498 cc, 154 hp petrol engine, front-wheel drive, wet dual-clutch automatic and seven-seat layout as the Prime. The RM5,000 step to the RM124,350 Prime does not buy a listed mechanical upgrade. On paper, you are paying for trim rather than powertrain, so check the equipment list and pay more only if its added kit matters to you.

Verdict
The VT9 gives buyers a seven-seat D-segment SUV with 154 hp, front-wheel drive and a wet dual-clutch transmission. Its entry price sits RM12,550 above the Proton X90's starting point, RM9,650 below the Leapmotor C10 and RM40,450 below the Chery Tiggo 8. That places it in the middle of these cited starting prices, but the available specification does not establish a mechanical reason to choose Prime.
