Jetour T2 XWD 2025 Review | 80% Defender At 20% Of The Cost?

Описание: Is this the most head-turning SUV to hit Malaysian shores this year? With an estimated price tag starting from RM 178,888, the Jetour T2 is positioning itself as the "Goldilocks" of the adventure SUV world, balancing rugged capability with a level of interior refinement that punches way above its weight class.

The Design: A Masterclass in Modern Ruggedness The first thing you notice about the T2 is its presence. In a sea of rounded, aerodynamic crossovers, the T2 stands out with a "mini-Defender" aesthetic that commands attention. Its "boxy" silhouette is an instant crowd-pleaser, featuring a bold front grille with illuminated Jetour lettering and matrix LED headlights that look incredibly premium at night. From the muscular squared-off wheel arches to the signature rear-mounted spare tyre cover, it brings a massive "street cred" presence whether you go.

Off-Road Capability: More Than a Mall Crawler Equipped with the BorgWarner 6th-gen 4WD system and a punchy 2.0L Turbocharged engine producing 254hp and 390Nm of torque, the T2 isn’t just for show. The system automatically detects the surface and adjusts torque distribution in milliseconds. With a 700mm wading depth and impressive approach and departure angles, this vehicle is built to handle Malaysian monsoons and weekend trail excursions with total confidence. It bridges the gap between a soft-roader and a dedicated crawler perfectly.

The Premium Cabin: Step inside and the "hardcore" exterior melts away into a world of luxury. The cabin is arguably the T2's strongest selling point. You are greeted by a massive 15.6-inch infotainment screen powered by the high-performance Snapdragon 8155 chip, ensuring the UI is buttery smooth. The materials used—from the suede-finished seats to the heavy-duty door handles and the crystal-effect gear shifter—feel intentional and high-end. It doesn't just look like a rugged SUV; it feels like a luxury lounge that happens to be able to climb a mountain.

The Audio Surprise: Sony’s 12-Speaker Masterpiece One of the most unexpected highlights of our drive was the 12-speaker Sony Sound System. Often, sound systems in this price bracket can feel hollow, but Jetour has gone the extra mile here. The audio stage is wide, the bass is punchy without being muddy, and the high-fidelity clarity is pretty good. This system transforms the driving experience. It’s easily one of the best factory systems we’ve tested this year.

The Comparison: Jetour T2 vs. The Giants How does it stack up against the competition? We look at two main rivals:

vs GWM Tank 300: The Tank 300 is an incredible machine, but it is a "hardcore" body-on-frame rock crawler. While the Tank might win in extreme rock crawling, the Jetour T2’s unibody construction makes it a much better "daily driver." It’s more composed on the highway, easier to park, and feels more sophisticated for urban life in Malaysia.

vs Land Rover Defender 110 (P300): The Defender is the undisputed king of this segment, but let’s be honest — it costs about 5 times the price of the T2. The Jetour T2 manages to capture 80% of that "Defender lifestyle" and aesthetic. For the Malaysian buyer who wants the look and 4WD capability without the RM900k+ price tag, the T2 is an incredible value proposition.

Final Verdict The Jetour T2 is a game-changer for the Malaysian market. It offers the perfect blend of "macho" styling, genuine off-road hardware, and a cabin that feels truly premium. If you want a vehicle that handles the school run during the week and a camping trip to the highlands on the weekend, the T2 should be at the top of your list.
