Jetour’s rapid rise in South Africa continues with the new T1, now on sale from R514 900 and positioned as the stylish, city-savvy sibling to the rugged T2. While the T2 targets adventure lovers, the compact Jetour T1 is designed for drivers who split their time between weekday commutes and spontaneous weekend escapes — offering premium features, practical versatility, and impressive value across the range. Since its late-October launch, the T1 has quickly gained traction among buyers who want SUV presence without the bulk. Its slightly smaller footprint makes navigating tight parking bays, complex traffic, and busy city streets far easier, while still offering the capability to head out of town when the mood strikes. Compact SUV With Big-Car Practicality Despite its urban-friendly proportions, the Jetour T1 delivers notable practicality. A generous 574-litre boot ensures there’s ample space for grocery runs, school bags, travel luggage or sports gear. The cabin blends modern design with an intuitive digital experience, while the T1’s 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is standard across all models. The range consists of four distinct derivatives, allowing buyers to pick the T1 that best suits their lifestyle: 1.5TD Edge (FWD) 1.5TD Aspire (FWD) 2.0TD Xplora (XWD all-wheel drive) 2.0TD Odyssey (XWD all-wheel drive) Jetour T1 1.5TD Edge – Entry Model, Elevated Experience Even the base Edge model comes generously equipped: 18-inch alloy wheels LED headlights with automatic on/off and daytime running lights Dual-zone climate control Electrically adjustable driver’s seat 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Keyless entry, push-button start & remote engine start Six airbags, stability control, Hill Descent Control, and auto-locking doors 1.5TD Aspire – Premium Convenience The Aspire builds on the Edge with features that enhance comfort, tech and safety: Panoramic sunroof Electric tailgate Ventilated front seats & wireless phone charging Adaptive Cruise Control & Lane Keep Assist Forward Collision Warning & Rear Cross Traffic Alert Blind Spot Monitoring & Automatic Emergency Braking Door Open Alert & Rear Collision Warning 2.0TD Xplora – For the Adventure-Minded The Xplora dials up capability with both hardware and tech upgrades: 19-inch alloy wheels Rugged metal front under guard Larger 15.6-inch infotainment screen XWD all-wheel-drive system with locking rear diff & five off-road modes Tow bar Special Jetour ground-projection animation More powerful 2.0-litre engine 2.0TD Odyssey – The Flagship T1 At the top of the range, the Odyssey adds more luxury and comfort: Ambient cabin lighting Nine-speaker Sony sound system Electrically adjustable passenger seat Driver’s seat with memory function & lumbar support Front parking sensors Restored advanced safety systems including Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist Pricing & Peace of Mind The Jetour T1 range is sharply priced: T1 1.5TD Edge — R514 900 T1 1.5TD Aspire — R544 900 T1 2.0TD Xplora — R594 900 T1 2.0TD Odyssey — R634 900 Every model comes with: 7-year/200 000 km warranty 7-year/75 000 km service plan 10-year/1 000 000 km engine warranty (first owner only) A Strong Urban SUV Contender With its blend of style, practicality, strong specifications and competitive pricing, the Jetour T1 is set to become a familiar sight on South African roads.
