At a big function<\/strong> held at the Sunbet Arena<\/strong> in Pretoria<\/strong>, Jetour<\/strong> unveiled its first plug-in Hybrid<\/strong> range, led by the highly successful T1<\/strong> and T2<\/strong> series of SUVs. The event was hosted by one of the Goliath<\/strong> comedian brothers and attended by a large group of Jetour customers<\/strong> and dealers<\/strong>, as well as the media<\/strong>. To be honest, such has never worked. Jetour mixing these two different groups was not a great idea, manifested by finger food<\/strong> (not the best) that left many of us unsatisfied, and a lackluster bar<\/strong>. Media events should remain just that; media events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, the cars were the stars of the show and they delivered plenty. Starting with the T1 i-DM<\/strong>, which has a plug-in Hybrid powertrain to the tune of 250kW<\/strong> of power and 530Nm<\/strong> of torque. Jetour says it is good for a total system range \u2013 full tank<\/strong> and full battery pack<\/strong> \u2013 of 1 200km<\/strong>, with the electric range<\/strong> being 100km<\/strong> on its own. These are really impressive<\/strong> numbers and essentially mean the T1 i-DM can theoretically<\/strong> do a return trip<\/strong> between Johannesburg<\/strong> and Durban<\/strong> using only one tank and one full charge. The car is also different inside, with some elements that cannot be found in the normal T1 cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the T2 i-DM<\/strong>, Jetour packed some extra punch<\/strong> into that. Maximum power and torque went up to 265kW<\/strong> and 610Nm<\/strong> respectively. Both the T1 and T2 i-DM units thus return what one would characterise as serious hot hatch power figures. But of course the Chinese<\/strong> pair do weigh much more than hot hatches, therefore performance would not be the same. Again, a 1 200km<\/strong> range is said to be achievable with the T2 i-DM, even as it offers slightly less electric-only<\/strong> range of 90km<\/strong>. Still, many much more expensive<\/strong>, top-of-the-range European<\/strong> plug-in Hybrids claim similar electric-only ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event also gave Jetour the opportunity to make a significant<\/strong> announcement. According to the company, Jetour will soon begin to assemble<\/strong>  in CKD form \u2013 not completely manufacture from scratch \u2013 some models in Mzansi<\/strong>. Specifically which models, is currently not clear. However, remember that Jetour is part of the Chery<\/strong> group of companies, and Chery has already confirmed that it will be taking over the Nissan manufacturing Plant in Rosslyn<\/strong>, Tshwane. Therefore it seems Jetour might be sharing<\/strong> those facilities<\/strong> with its parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do look forward to getting behind the wheels of both the T1 i-DM and T2 i-DM to experience<\/strong> the promised instant acceleration<\/strong> torque, the reported interior<\/strong> comfort levels, and to test for ourselves the very high claimed ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
