JETOUR Malaysia Opens Bookings for T2 i-DM Plug-In Hybrid at KLIMS 2026

JETOUR Malaysia has officially opened bookings for the All-New JETOUR T2 i-DM (intelligence dual mode), marking the brand’s first foray into the country’s hybrid vehicle market. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) SUV made its first public appearance at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS 2026), where the company also disclosed its indicative pricing, offering prospective buyers an early opportunity to view the model ahead of its official launch.

The arrival of the JETOUR T2 i-DM comes amid increasing consumer interest in hybrid and electrified vehicles as Malaysian motorists seek solutions that balance performance, practicality, sustainability and fuel efficiency.

The JETOUR T2 i-DM offers visitors and prospective customers an exclusive preview of the model ahead of its official launch. Building on the strong reception of the JETOUR T2 following its Malaysian launch in March, the JETOUR T2 i-DM caters to drivers looking to embrace new energy mobility without compromising the versatility and rugged appeal that have made the T2 a sought-after SUV among Malaysians.

The JETOUR T2 i-DM features a 1.5-litre TGDI Dedicated Hybrid System paired with a dual-motor electric system and a 3-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission, producing a combined output of 265kW and 610Nm. This configuration enables strong acceleration performance while maintaining efficiency across different driving conditions.

Designed for versatility, the vehicle offers up to 100km+ of pure electric driving range and up to 1,200km combined driving range, making it suitable for both city commuting and long-distance travel. It also supports both AC and DC charging, offering greater convenience and flexibility for users transitioning into electrified vehicles.

Inside, the JETOUR T2 i-DM is equipped with a suite of intelligent safety and comfort technologies, including ADAS Level 2 driver assistance, 6 SRS airbags, and a panoramic view monitoring system to enhance driver confidence in various road conditions.

The JETOUR T2 i-DM is estimated to be priced at RM168,888 and will be supported by a comprehensive ownership and warranty package, with bookings now open at authorised JETOUR dealerships nationwide.

At KLIMS 2026, visitors can explore JETOUR’s expanding SUV portfolio, headlined by the Malaysian public debut of the JETOUR T2 i-DM and the first-ever public showcase of the G700 Concept Car. The display also features the T1, T2, VT9 and Dashing, while visitors can experience the T1, T2, VT9 and Dashing through test drives conducted throughout the show. In addition, visitors can participate in interactive activities at the JETOUR booth, offering complimentary gifts and refreshments.

To make the experience even more rewarding, customers who place a booking for the JETOUR T2 during the exhibition can enjoy a RM2,000 rebate, while the Dashing and VT9 are available with rebates of up to RM10,000 and RM15,000 respectively. These exclusive KLIMS offers provide visitors with an attractive opportunity to own a JETOUR SUV while exploring the brand’s growing lineup.

JETOUR Malaysia was established in April 2024 when it introduced the brand to the Malaysian market. Positioned as “The Travel Expert”, JETOUR is guided by its Travel+ strategy, aiming to be the automotive brand with the deepest understanding of travel by integrating lifestyle and exploration as a companion for adventure. Embracing the slogan “Drive Your Future”, JETOUR Malaysia is committed to delivering high-quality, innovative SUVs that combine performance, comfort, and advanced features at competitive price points. With a strong international presence and dedication to customer satisfaction, JETOUR Malaysia is redefining the SUV segment by continuously evolving to meet the dynamic needs of modern travellers with vehicles designed for both daily commutes and weekend adventures.

The introduction of the JETOUR T2 i-DM arrives at a pivotal moment in Malaysia’s automotive landscape. As the country transitions toward electrified mobility under frameworks such as the National Automotive Policy, the National Energy Transition Roadmap, and the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint, consumers are increasingly presented with alternatives that promise lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact. The T2 i-DM’s positioning as a plug-in hybrid rather than a full battery-electric vehicle addresses a practical concern for many Malaysian buyers: range anxiety. With a pure electric range of over 100 kilometres and a combined range of up to 1,200 kilometres, the vehicle offers the flexibility of electric-only commuting for daily urban use while retaining the long-distance capability of a conventional internal combustion engine for interstate travel.

From a financial perspective, the estimated price of RM168,888 places the T2 i-DM in a competitive position within the C-segment SUV market. While PHEVs in Malaysia continue to be taxed based on internal combustion engine displacement rather than the new kilowatt-based system that applies to zero-emission vehicles, the potential fuel savings from daily electric-only operation could offset this over the ownership period. The 1.5-litre engine displacement means road tax will remain modest compared to larger-displacement competitors. Additionally, the government’s ongoing sales tax exemption for completely knocked-down (CKD) vehicles until the end of 2027, combined with income tax relief of up to RM2,500 for home charging installation, provides a supportive policy environment for prospective buyers.

For consumers evaluating the broader JETOUR lineup, the KLIMS 2026 rebates on the Dashing and VT9 models—up to RM10,000 and RM15,000 respectively—represent substantial value propositions for buyers seeking immediate availability rather than waiting for the T2 i-DM’s official launch. However, the T2 i-DM’s combination of 265kW output, 610Nm of torque, Level 2 ADAS, and dual AC/DC charging capability suggests a feature set that rivals more established brands at a notably lower price point. As Malaysia’s charging infrastructure continues to expand—with the government targeting significant increases in public charging station deployment—the practicality of owning a PHEV will only improve. For the consumer, the T2 i-DM represents a calculated step into electrification: it preserves the familiarity of a petrol engine while delivering the efficiency and refinement of electric propulsion, all wrapped in the rugged SUV silhouette that has proven popular in the Malaysian market.
