The Jet Tour T2 is marketed as an off-road SUV and its design follows suit. This means that JSW can launch this rebadged version in India against Toyota Fortuner. T2 has a ground clearance of 205 mm, approach angle of 28 degrees, departure angle of 30 degrees and water wading depth of 700 mm.

Jetour: T2 Plug-in Hybrid
In China, the Jetour T2 plug-in hybrid is sold in three variants. The base variant has a 1.5 liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, which produces 115 kW (154 hp) and 220 Nm torque. It has two motors, which together generate power of 165 kW (221 HP) and torque of 390 Nm. It has a 27.2 kWh LFP battery pack made by Gaotian Hi-Tech, which gives a pure electric range of 100 kilometers as per WLTC.

Range and performance
The middle variant has the same powertrain, but has a 43.24 kWh LFP battery pack made by CATL, taking the WLTC electric range to 162 km. The top variant also has the same 1.5 liter turbocharged petrol engine, but it has three electric motors, which together give a power of 340 kW (456 hp) and torque of 700 Nm. It also has a 43.24 kWh LFP battery pack and according to WLTC it can run up to 160 kilometers in EV mode.

Base variant will be launched in India
JSW can offer only the base variant in India. The company will import knocked-down kits of the T2 plug-in hybrid from Jetur's plant in Fuzhou (Fujian Province), China and assemble them at its factory in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (Maharashtra). With a launch scheduled for June, the company is expected to release first details of the SUV in April.

Jetour T2 SUV India Launch: JSW Motors Limited will launch Jetour T2 SUV in India this year, which will be manufactured in the new plant in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar and will come with JSW branding. The T2 will have a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The company has tied up with Chinese company Cherry for this. Chery is known for making great cars at low prices.

New Delhi. JSW Motors Limited, the passenger mobility division of JSW Group, is all set to launch its first car in India this year. According to the reports coming out, the first model could be the Jetour T2 SUV. JSW wants to establish itself as a car manufacturing brand and that is why T2 will be launched separately from the company's joint venture with MG, JSW MG Motor India. The special thing is that this SUV will have the badge and model name of JSW instead of Jetour. The SUV will be assembled at the brand's new greenfield manufacturing plant in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, Maharashtra and is expected to hit showrooms by the third quarter of this year.

Features, specifications and price of Jetour T2
Plug-in hybrid powertrain will be available in T2. Pure ICE versions of the T2 are also available, but in line with JSW's focus on sustainable mobility, the T2 i-DM in India will come with a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid powertrain. The plug-in hybrid is available in both AWD and FWD versions, although it is not yet known which version will be launched in India.

defender look
The T2 is a large SUV with a traditional boxy and upright design, reminiscent of the Defender. Like the Defender, it also has monocoque construction, not a ladder-frame setup. The length of T2 is 4.7 meters and width is 2 meters, that is, its size is bigger than Tata Safari, but it is a 5-seater. The 7-seater version is even longer. There is not much information about the price and positioning of T2 in India. However, the price of the FWD 5-seater T2 i-DM in UAE is around Rs 35 lakh (AED 1,44,000).
