Jetour has officially unleashed its bold new T-Series SUV lineup in South Africa — and it’s already turning heads for all the right reasons. Priced from R514 900 for the entry-level Jetour T1 Edge and R569 900 for the T2 Aspire, the new range brings a mix of rugged performance, refined luxury, and technology-packed adventure to the growing SUV segment. The official unveiling took place at Cape Town’s iconic Grand Parade, where the atmosphere mirrored Jetour’s brand essence: innovation, confidence, and freedom. The evening saw the introduction of two models — the compact Jetour T1 and the adventure-ready Jetour T2 — both of which will reach showrooms across Southern Africa in mid-November through Jetour’s expanding network of more than 55 dealerships. A Statement Launch The event drew a distinguished crowd of motoring media, dealer partners, and industry stakeholders. Keynote speeches from Jetour International President Ke Chuandeng, Jetour South Africa Vice President Nic Campbell, and Alderman James Vos set the tone for a night of celebration and ambition. Campbell emphasized the brand’s goal to redefine the SUV experience for South African drivers. “The T-Series delivers exactly what the market has been asking for — affordable luxury, modern design, and reliable performance,” said Campbell. “We’ve seen phenomenal response since Jetour’s local debut last year, and the T-Series is set to elevate that success even further.” Jetour T1 – Compact Class with Confidence Designed for both city commutes and weekend adventures, the Jetour T1 blends style with practicality. Four variants are available: T1 Edge (R514 900) T1 Aspire (R544 900) T1 Xplora (R594 900) T1 Odyssey (R634 900) Under the bonnet, customers can choose between a 1.5TD engine (125kW) or a 2.0TD (180kW), both paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Higher trims feature Jetour’s XWD intelligent all-wheel-drive system, 8 selectable drive modes, and generous ground clearance for confident off-road capability. Inside, the T1 offers premium comfort with soft-touch materials, dual-layer soundproof glass, and an intuitive infotainment interface. The range-topping Odyssey stands out with a Sony 9-speaker surround system and a 15.6-inch display, while all models include advanced safety systems like a 540° panoramic camera, LED lighting, and tyre pressure monitoring. Jetour T2 – Adventure Meets Elegance For those who crave more presence and performance, the Jetour T2 steps up as a true adventure SUV. Available in three trims — Aspire (R569 900), Xplora (R639 900), and Odyssey (R679 900) — the T2 blends muscular design with refined comfort. The 2.0TD engine delivers a robust 180kW and 375Nm, ensuring plenty of punch on any terrain, while the 1.5TD Aspire offers a well-balanced 125kW and 270Nm. Every T2 model includes 540° cameras, LED lighting, roof racks, heated mirrors, and tyre pressure monitoring, while the Odyssey boasts the largest dimensions (4785mm long, 2006mm wide, 1880mm high) and a cabin built for space and comfort. Buyers can choose from bold finishes such as Onyx Black, Glacier White, Aqua Green, and Lunar Silver — each enhancing the SUV’s rugged yet sophisticated appeal. More Than a Launch – A Statement of Intent The Cape Town showcase wasn’t just about product reveals. Jetour celebrated its first South African T-Series owners with a symbolic key handover and a partnership highlight with the DHL Stormers, marking the brand’s three-year sponsorship of the rugby giants. The evening concluded with performances by GoodLuck, Mo-T, and DJ Vin Deyzel, amplifying the celebratory tone of the event. Adding to the excitement, Jetour announced it will supply 70 T-Series SUVs for the upcoming G20 Summit in Johannesburg, underscoring the brand’s growing reputation for quality and reliability. A Fast-Rising Contender Since debuting locally in 2024 with the Jetour Dashing and X70 Plus, the Chinese automaker has rapidly climbed the ranks — achieving 12th place in national passenger car sales within just a year. Backed by a robust dealership network and a Gold Status rating in the 2025 NADA Dealer Satisfaction Index, Jetour’s success is no fluke. The arrival of the T-Series cements Jetour’s ambitions: to bring luxury SUV performance within reach of South Africans who value design, adventure, and innovation. With bold styling, cutting-edge tech, and competitive pricing, the T1 and T2 are ready to make their mark on and off the road.
