JETOUR T-series goes PHEV

 

Jetour is now taking the bold next step by entering the plug-in hybrid (PHEV/ i-DM) space. Tonight saw the official launch of the T-Series i-DM, more specifically the T1 i-DM & T2 i-DM: A new generation of plug-in hybrid SUVs designed for modern urban lifestyles that combine adventure capability, performance, efficiency and intelligent electric mobility.

 

“The introduction of our PHEV models is an important strategic step for Jetour as we continue to balance sustainable mobility with meaningful user value,” says Nic Campbell, Vice President of Jetour South Africa. “From an environmental perspective, these vehicles help reduce carbon emissions, aligning with the global shift toward greener development. At the same time, in a market where energy costs continue to fluctuate, PHEVs offer real practical benefit by lowering fuel consumption and helping users reduce their day-to-day running costs”.

 

At the heart of the range is a sophisticated hybrid powertrain that delivers seamless acceleration and a refined driving experience, with an impressive combined output of up to 265 kW. Designed for both urban commutes and long-distance travel, the PHEV models offer a combined driving range of over 1 200 km, while also enabling pure electric driving for everyday use. This dual capability allows drivers to experience zero-emission city driving with the reassurance of extended range.

 

The T-Series i-DM has an intelligent energy management system which optimises performance and efficiency. Fast, flexible charging further enhances the appeal of this PHEV range, with rapid DC charging enabling a 30–80% recharge in under 30 minutes, and ultra-low fuel consumption from just 1.1L/100 km. 

 “i-DM technology brings together the best of both worlds: electric efficiency for everyday commuting and fuel-powered confidence for longer journeys. We believe this makes it an especially well-suited solution for the South African market,” says Campbell.

The T-Series i-DM are now available at over 55 dealerships countrywide, and are priced from R 689 900 for the T1 i-DM and from R 779 900 for the T2 i-DM
