Abu Dhabi: The Jetour T2 has been seeing significant growth in the UAE market since the launch. It catches attention at first glance with safety features, rugged exterior looks, and a bold design with a long feature list. With robust performance tailored for the UAE, both drivability and power look promising. So here is a look at the Jetour T2 engine and powertrain to see how it serves you on day-to-day use, weekend trips, or desert getaways across the UAE.

Jetour T2 Engine Option

Powered by the single 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the Jetour T2 delivers the power of 251 hp and 390 Nm of torque. Paired with the 8-speed automatic transmission and the sixth-generation all-wheel-drive system of BorgWarner for a balance of refined city driving, fuel efficiency, and robust off-road capability. It can reach the maximum power of 5,500 rpm, adequate for highway driving or overtaking. BorgWarner's Sixth-Generation AWD System (XWD) helps in automatic torque distribution, with enhanced safety & efficiency. The seven driving modes with specific off-road modes, such as X-Mode and Crawl Mode, allow you to optimize the drivetrain for various terrain types. 

Jetour T2 Performance Highlights

The Jetour T2 can go from 0 to 100 km/h within just 6 to 6.7 seconds and reach the top speed of 180 km/h. The real-world efficiency for it ranges between 9 and 13 km/L for city and highway driving. Considering its size and the target market in the UAE, the car's performance offers a blend of comfort and capability. 

Jetour T2 Driving Feel

The overall driving experience feels very responsive and quick, making it comfortable to overtake on highways or cruise at high speeds. Suspensions are tuned for comfort rather than hardcore sportiness, so driving on even bumpy roads feels very comfortable. Steering also feels very light while driving in the Normal/Eco mode, but in sports mode it feels firm for better feedback. 

Why This Matters in the UAE

The Jetour T2 is not the most practical SUV you can get in the UAE, but it delivers a practical mix of performance, efficiency, and drivability. Which is what most UAE drivers want for daily commuting to long highway journeys. This 5-seater 4x4 compact-to-midsize SUV strikes a balance between power efficiency for city drives, family outings, and long weekend getaways with premium-level performance.
