CAPE TOWN, 25 October 2025 — The spirit of adventure found a new home at the Grand Parade tonight as Jetour officially launched its much-anticipated T-Series SUV range in South Africa. The event marked a milestone for the rapidly growing brand, introducing the Jetour T1 and T2 models to an audience of media, partners, and automotive enthusiasts under the glittering lights of Cape Town’s iconic skyline.
The launch wasn’t just a showcase of vehicles—it was a statement. Jetour’s new T-Series represents a lifestyle built around capability, style, and the promise of discovery. With the T1 and T2 now poised to arrive at over 55 dealerships across Southern Africa from mid-November, Jetour is ready to redefine what South Africans expect from their SUVs.
A Celebration of Progress and Partnership
The evening’s proceedings featured keynote addresses from industry and government leaders, including Jetour International’s President, Ke Chuandeng; Cape Town Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth, Alderman James Vos; and DIRCO Deputy Director General, Clayton Monyela. Jetour South Africa’s Vice President, Nic Campbell, guided guests through the highlights of each model, while Managing Director Luo Yuanran unveiled the official pricing for the new range.
“Since Jetour first entered the South African market last year, there’s been incredible anticipation for the T-Series,” said Campbell. “Launching both the T1 and T2 simultaneously represents our commitment to delivering vehicles that combine affordability, luxury, and reliability—all tailored for the South African lifestyle.”
That lifestyle, he added, is one of versatility—where a vehicle must handle both urban life and untamed terrain with equal confidence.
Jetour T1: Compact Power Meets Everyday Adventure
The Jetour T1 brings together sleek urban sophistication with all-terrain confidence. Available in four variants—the 1.5TD 2WD Edge, 1.5TD 2WD Aspire, 2.0TD 4WD Xplora, and 2.0TD 4WD Odyssey—the T1 caters to a broad spectrum of drivers, from the city commuter to the weekend explorer.
Every T1 model is equipped with advanced safety and convenience features such as a 540° panoramic camera system, rear parking sensors, LED lighting, tyre pressure monitoring, and roof racks. The higher-spec Xplora and Odyssey variants boast the intelligent XWD 4WD system, eight driving modes (including Sand, Snow, and Mud), and a high ground clearance for true off-road versatility.
Inside, the T1 combines digital sophistication with comfort. Premium materials, dual-layer soundproof glass, ergonomic seating, and a spacious interior deliver refinement throughout. The Odyssey variant tops the range with a 15.6-inch infotainment screen and a Sony nine-speaker surround sound system—creating an experience as immersive as it is intelligent.
Pricing:
- T1 Edge – R514 900
- T1 Aspire – R544 900
- T1 Xplora – R594 900
- T1 Odyssey – R634 900
Jetour T2: Rugged Sophistication for the Modern Explorer
If the T1 is a city-to-trail crossover, the Jetour T2 is a born adventurer. With its muscular stance, generous dimensions, and commanding road presence, the T2 embodies the balance between rugged off-road performance and luxury SUV refinement.
The range includes the 1.5TD Aspire (2WD), and two 2.0TD 4WD models—the Xplora and Odyssey—all featuring a 70L petrol tank and available in Onyx Black, Glacier White, Aqua Green, and Lunar Silver. Power outputs range from 125kW in the Aspire to 180kW in the Xplora and Odyssey, with up to 375Nm of torque for confident performance on and off the road.
Inside, the T2 continues Jetour’s focus on comfort and technology, offering 540° panoramic cameras, full LED lighting, tyre pressure monitoring, and a host of thoughtful touches from privacy glass to heated mirrors and roof racks.
Pricing:
- T2 Aspire – R569 900
- T2 Xplora – R639 900
- T2 Odyssey – R679 900
A Brand on the Rise
The launch evening also included a celebration of Jetour’s first T-Series customers in South Africa, who received ceremonial keys and collector-scale models of their new vehicles. The brand’s partnership with the DHL Stormers was also spotlighted through a signing event and gift exchange, marking Jetour’s role as the team’s official vehicle sponsor for the next three years.
Adding to the prestige, Jetour announced that 70 T-Series vehicles will be used as official transport at the upcoming G20 Summit in Johannesburg—a fitting role for a brand that continues to position itself at the intersection of innovation and diplomacy.
Entertainment on the night came courtesy of electronic trio GoodLuck, trumpeter Mo-T, and DJ Vin Deyzel, capping off a vibrant and unforgettable evening.
Accelerating Success in South Africa
Since entering the local market in 2024 with the Jetour Dashing and X70 Plus, Jetour has quickly established itself as a formidable new player in the South African automotive landscape. Within just one year, the brand achieved 12th place in national passenger car sales and earned Gold Status in the 2025 NADA Dealer Satisfaction Index—testament to its commitment to dealer support, customer service, and accessible premium mobility.
With the T-Series now officially on South African soil, Jetour’s momentum shows no sign of slowing. These new models don’t just expand the brand’s portfolio—they strengthen its promise: to take South Africans further, in comfort, style, and confidence.
