The Jetour T1 and T2 have finally arrived in South Africa, with sales set to start in mid-November 2025. Here’s what these boxy Chinese crossovers cost…
- 1.5- and 2.0-litre turbopetrol engines on offer
- 4-strong T1 portfolio kicks off at R514 900
- T2 range (3 variants) available from R569 900
Just over a year after entering the market with the Dashing and X70 Plus , Jetour South Africa has effectively doubled the size of its local line-up with the introduction of the Jetour T1 and T2 (models the Chinese company collectively calls the “T-Series”).
Set to go on sale in mid-November 2025, the T1 and T2 are boxy crossovers that share a unibody platform. The T1 measures 4 705 mm from nose to tail (for reference, that’s 90 mm longer than the outgoing Toyota RAV4 ), while the T2 is slightly larger at 4 785 mm (including a tailgate-mounted spare wheel). At launch, the T1 line-up comprises 4 variants, with the T2 offered in 3 guises.
So, what do these newcomers cost? Well, the T1 1.5T Edge 7DCT kicks off at R514 900 , with the T1 1.5T Aspire 7DCT priced from R544 900 . These derivatives employ a turbocharged 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine delivering 125 kW and 270 Nm to the front axle via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (a gearbox that’s standard across the range).
The Jetour T1 is furthermore available with a 180 kW/375 Nm turbocharged 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol motor, which drives all 4 wheels. The T1 2.0T Xplora 7DCT 4WD starts at R594 900 , while the T1 2.0T Odyssey 7DCT 4WD comes in from R634 900 .
What about the T2? Well, the same powertrains do duty here, with the front-wheel-drive T2 1.5T Aspire 7DCT priced from R569 900 and the all-paw T2 2.0T Xplora 7DCT 4WD and T2 2.0T Odyssey 7DCT 4WD starting at R639 900 and R679 900 , respectively.

In each case, adding the “Dark Knight” package (which seemingly comprises a matte-black colour scheme) adds R25 000 to the price. While Jetour SA has yet to release a detailed specification sheet, it does say all T1 and T2 derivatives come standard with a 540-degree camera system, rear parking sensors, tyre-pressure monitoring and automatic LED headlamps.
The 2.0-litre derivatives furthermore feature Jetour’s “XWD” 4-wheel-drive system and 8 driving modes, along with a 15.6-inch infotainment screen. The flagship Odyssey grade also scores a 9-speaker Sony surround-sound system.
At the launch event, Jetour SA mentioned a raft of so-called “bonus” features. For instance, the company is offering a complimentary tow-bar (which it says is valued at R8 000) for all T1 and T2 4WD derivatives sold before the end of 2025.
Other incentives include a roof rack and crystal gear knob (together valued at a claimed R20 000), a model car (apparently worth at R2 000) and an off-road experience for 4WD variants (likewise valued at R2 000).
