| ⚠️ T2 Petrol More Expensive Than T2 PHEV — An Unusual Inversion The T2 petrol at Rs1.359 crore is Rs80,000 more expensive than the T2 PHEV (Rs1.279 crore launched in July) — an unusual inversion. In every other PHEV-vs-petrol pairing in Pakistan’s market, the PHEV costs more because of the battery and dual-powertrain engineering. Jetour’s pricing suggests either that the T2 AWD petrol’s off-road hardware commands a genuine cost premium, or that the T2 PHEV was launched at an aggressive introductory price to build early momentum. Either way, buyers choosing between the two T2 variants will find better value in the PHEV on paper. |
Jetour T1 i-DM PHEV — Full Breakdown
The T1 is Jetour’s compact PHEV crossover — 5-seater, boxy crossover styling, monocoque construction. The Pakistani market is getting only the i-DM PHEV variant, which means no purely petrol T1 is available here. This is notable: Jetour is positioning the T1 as a PHEV-only product in Pakistan, betting that the 1,200km combined range and 100km electric range will be the primary appeal.
The powertrain combination — 1.5L petrol with electric motor assistance totalling 340hp and 530Nm — is genuinely strong for a compact crossover. The 18.4kWh LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery is a solid choice: LFP chemistry is more thermally stable than NMC, handles more charge cycles before degradation, and performs better in Pakistan’s high-temperature summer conditions. DC fast charging to meaningful levels in 30 minutes is competitive.

| ✅ T1 for Urban Buyers — Charge Overnight, 70-85km Real-World EV Range The T1’s 100km NEDC electric range is the headline for urban buyers. NEDC figures are typically optimistic — real-world electric range in mixed city/highway driving at Pakistani temperatures is likely 70-85km. For a daily Lahore or Karachi commuter who charges overnight, this covers most daily requirements without burning petrol. The 1,200km combined range means intercity travel without range anxiety. The LFP battery is a deliberate choice — Jetour is clearly aware that buyers worry about battery longevity in Pakistani heat. |
T1 i-DM PHEV — Market Competition
The T1 PHEV will compete directly with the MG HS Super Hybrid, Haval H6 PHEV, Jaecoo J7 and Omoda 7 in the compact crossover SUV segment. All are Chinese-origin vehicles targeting buyers in the Rs90 lakh to Rs130 lakh range. The T1’s pricing will be critical — without a confirmed price, Jetour is asking buyers to commit Rs20 lakh on faith that the final price will be competitive.
| Model | Approx. Price | Powertrain |
| Jetour T1 i-DM PHEV | TBA | 1.5T PHEV — 340hp, 100km EV, 1,200km total |
| MG HS Super Hybrid | ~Rs105-115L | PHEV compact SUV |
| Haval H6 PHEV | ~Rs110-125L | PHEV compact SUV |
| Jaecoo J7 | ~Rs90-110L | Petrol / mild hybrid |
| Omoda 7 | ~Rs95-115L | Petrol compact SUV |
| ⚠️ T1 Price Pending Auto Policy — Rs20L Booking Is a Commitment Without a Full Price Jetour’s decision to price the T1 after the auto policy is a tactical move — it allows the company to see how the policy shapes import duties and local assembly considerations before committing to a final figure. For buyers, it is a risk: put down Rs20 lakh without knowing the total cost. The upside is priority delivery and potentially a better final price if the auto policy is favourable to EVs and PHEVs. |
Jetour T2 2.0 XWD Petrol — Full Breakdown
The T2 is Jetour’s flagship SUV — larger than the T1 at 4,785mm long and 2,006mm wide, with a deliberately boxy, utilitarian silhouette that the company positions against Land Rover Defender and Ford Bronco aesthetics. The petrol variant uses a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine producing 244hp and 375Nm through a 7-speed DCT and Jetour’s intelligent AWD system.
Eight drive modes — Normal, Sports, Eco, Snow, Sand, Rock, Mud and X Smart — give the T2 genuine off-road credibility. Most SUVs in this price range offer two to four driving modes; eight modes across diverse terrain types signals that Jetour has engineered the T2’s AWD system with serious terrain work in mind rather than treating AWD as a marketing checkbox. 19-inch rims, 6 airbags, Level 2 ADAS and a 540° camera system round out the package.
T2 Full Specifications
| Spec | T2 2.0 XWD Petrol |
| Dimensions (L×W×H) | 4,785 × 2,006 × 1,880 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,800 mm |
| Engine | 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol |
| Power | 244hp |
| Torque | 375Nm |
| Transmission | 7-speed DCT |
| Drivetrain | Intelligent AWD (XWD) |
| Drive modes | Normal, Sports, Eco, Snow, Sand, Rock, Mud, X Smart |
| Rim size | 19 inches |
| Safety | 6 airbags, Level 2 ADAS, 540° camera |
| Infotainment | 15.6″ screen, 12 Sony speakers, CarPlay and Android Auto |
| Ex-factory price | Rs13,590,000 |
| Booking amount | Rs30,00,000 |
| ℹ️ CarPlay and Android Auto on the T2 — Not Universal in Chinese SUVs at This Price The T2’s 15.6-inch infotainment with 12 Sony speakers and full CarPlay/Android Auto is a meaningful step up from the T1’s 9-speaker setup. For a flagship SUV at Rs1.35 crore, this is expected, but the CarPlay and Android Auto integration specifically matters for Pakistani buyers who have been frustrated by Chinese-brand SUVs offering only Baidu-based infotainment systems incompatible with their daily apps. |
T2 Petrol — Market Competition
At Rs1.35 crore, the T2 petrol enters one of the most competitive price points in Pakistan’s large SUV segment. The direct rivals are the Toyota Fortuner V (Rs1.49 crore) and the Kia Sorento V6 (Rs1.36 crore). The T2 undercuts the Fortuner by Rs14 lakh — but the Fortuner carries the reliability reputation and resale value premium that Toyota commands in Pakistan. The Sorento V6 is the closer price match, and a genuine spec-to-spec competition.
| Model | Price | Powertrain |
| Jetour T2 2.0 XWD Petrol | Rs135,90,000 | 2.0T AWD — 244hp, 375Nm, 7DCT |
| Toyota Fortuner V | Rs149,00,000+ | 2.7L petrol 4WD |
| Kia Sorento V6 | Rs136,00,000 | 3.5L V6 petrol AWD |
| GWM Tank 300 | Not yet launched | 2.0T PHEV body-on-frame 4WD |
| iCAUR V27 (REEV) | Not yet launched | REEV 449hp — AWD |
| ⚠️ T2 vs Fortuner — Better Specs, but Resale Value Is the Real Competition The Fortuner comparison is the one that matters most for T2 sales volumes. The Fortuner V at Rs1.49 crore uses a 2.7-litre naturally aspirated engine with significantly less power (166hp) than the T2’s 244hp turbocharged 2.0. On raw spec, the T2 wins comfortably. The question is whether Pakistani buyers will accept a Chinese brand at near-Fortuner pricing — a market where brand trust and resale value have historically favoured Japanese vehicles. Jetour’s challenge is not the launch price but the three-year resale value. |
The Dominator Kit and Markhor Edition
Jetour is offering the Dominator Kit — an exterior modification package for the T2 that includes body cladding, bumper extensions and other visual upgrades — at a revised price of Rs20 lakh, down from Rs25 lakh. The Rs5 lakh price cut was announced at the launch event and applies to existing T2 owners as well as new buyers.
A special Markhor Edition of the T2 was also displayed at the event, developed in partnership with the Government of Gilgit-Baltistan. The Markhor Edition is a promotional collaboration rather than a separate trim level — specific details on what differentiates it from the standard T2 have not yet been fully disclosed. The Gilgit-Baltistan association positions the T2 as a vehicle for mountain terrain — apposite given that Gilgit-Baltistan is where Pakistan’s most demanding off-road driving happens.
| ℹ️ Dominator Kit — Rs20L After Rs5L Cut, Now at 14.7% of T2 Base Price The Dominator Kit at Rs20 lakh on a Rs1.35 crore SUV represents a 14.7% premium for exterior styling. For buyers who want the boxy, defender-adjacent aesthetic to be even more pronounced, the kit makes visual sense. At Rs5 lakh cheaper than launch pricing, Jetour is clearly using the price cut as an incentive at the launch event rather than reducing the kit’s margin — a standard promotional move. |
