Jetour T1 technical sheet: engine, power and transmission
The Jetour T1 offers three powertrains: a 1.5 turbo with 181 hp, a 2.0 turbo with 251 hp and a 342 hp plug-in hybrid system. The petrol engines are direct injection and deliver peak power at 5,500 rpm.
| Item | T1 Comfort | T1 Sport 2.0T XWD | T1 Plug-in Hybrid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine | 1.5 turbo, 4 cylinders | 2.0 turbo, 4 cylinders (1,998 cc) | 1.5 turbo + 2 electric motors |
| Power | 181 hp | 251 hp at 5,500 rpm | 342 hp combined |

| Fuel tank | 70 L | 70 L | — |

The 2.0 turbo is the same engine as the Jetour T2, but in the T1 it is paired with a conventional eight-speed automatic instead of a dual clutch.

Jetour T1 plug-in hybrid: battery, electric range and power
The plug-in hybrid version of the Jetour T1 claims 150 km in 100% electric mode (NEDC cycle) thanks to a 26.7 kWh battery, and is the most powerful in the range with 342 hp. It is the option for anyone who mostly drives urban routes and can charge at home or at work.
| Item | T1 Plug-in Hybrid |
|---|---|
| System | 1.5 turbo (141 hp / 215 Nm) + 2 electric motors (201 hp / 310 Nm) |
| Combined power and torque | 342 hp / 525 Nm |
| Battery | 26.7 kWh, LFP chemistry (lithium iron phosphate) |
| Electric range | 150 km (NEDC) · 117 km (WLTC) |
| Claimed total combined range | Up to 1,300 km (NEDC) |
| Drive | Front |
| Battery warranty | 8 years or 150,000 km |
The cycle used changes the figure a lot. NEDC is the most optimistic; WLTC, closer to real use, lowers the electric range to 117 km. In a test drive in Chile, The Clinic estimated between 65 and 80 electric km in real conditions. Even so, it comfortably covers a typical daily commute in Panama City without using petrol.
LFP chemistry is the most used today in vehicle batteries for its thermal stability and its lifespan over charge cycles. Sources: Autoblog Uruguay, Jetour Uruguay and Petromotors.
Jetour T1 4×4: XWD traction and off-road drive modes
The Sport 2.0T version is the only Jetour T1 with all-wheel drive (XWD) in Panama, and adds features that are unusual in a compact SUV: centre differential lock, electronic limited-slip differential and water depth detection when wading.
| Feature | What it brings in practice |
|---|---|
| XWD all-wheel drive | Splits power between both axles in rain, dirt or slopes |
| Centre differential lock | Keeps traction when a wheel loses grip |
| Electronic limited-slip differential | Stops the unsupported wheel spinning freely |
| Hill descent control (HDC) and hill start assist (HAC) | Descends and starts on steep slopes without driver intervention |
| Wading detection | Indicates water depth when crossing a puddle or a river |
| Independent suspension (McPherson front, multi-link rear) | More comfort on uneven pavement |
The Sport offers eight drive modes: Sport, Economy, Standard, Snow, Mud, Sand, Rock and an intelligent X Smart mode. The Comfort version keeps the Sport, Economy and Standard modes, designed for city and highway. Petromotors’ marketing summarises the range as “7 drive modes”.
In Panama, this equipment translates into dirt roads to farms, beaches with sand access or the climb to Boquete in the rainy season. Source: T1 Sport technical sheet at Petromotors.
Jetour T1 dimensions and boot capacity
The Jetour T1 is 4,705 mm long, 1,967 mm wide and 1,843 mm tall, with a 2,800 mm wheelbase and a 574-litre boot. All three versions share the same body.
| Measurement | Jetour T1 |
|---|---|
| Length | 4,705 mm |
| Width | 1,967 mm |
| Height | 1,843 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,800 mm |
| Boot | 574 L (expandable by folding the 60:40 second row) |
| Seats | 5 |
| Spare tyre | Included |
Its width and height place it above the segment average: it is about 10 cm wider and about 15 cm taller than a RAV4 or a CX-5. That shows in shoulder room and in the raised driving position, although it also demands more attention when parking in tight spaces. Sources: Petromotors and Deagencia (boot).
Jetour T1 safety: 5 stars ASEAN NCAP and ADAS assistance
The Jetour T1 earned five stars in ASEAN NCAP with 87.67 points, under the 2021-2025 protocol, and all versions sold in Panama carry six airbags. Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) is available in the Sport and Hybrid versions.
| Area assessed by ASEAN NCAP | Points scored | Maximum possible |
|---|---|---|
| Adult occupant protection | 38.09 | 40 |
| Child occupant protection | 16.18 | 20 |
| Safety assist | 17.14 | 20 |
| Motorcyclist safety | 16.25 | 20 |
| Total | 87.67 | 100 |
The unit assessed was the 2.0 turbo version for the Asian market, according to the ASEAN NCAP report. It is a useful reference for the vehicle’s structure, but not a test of the exact configuration sold in Panama.
Safety equipment of the T1 Sport according to the Petromotors sheet:
- Braking and stability: ABS, EBD, brake assist, stability and traction control, rollover control and cornering brake control.
- ADAS assistance: autonomous emergency braking (AEB), adaptive cruise, forward and rear collision warning, blind spot detection, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist, and intelligent high beams.
- Visibility and parking: 540° HD camera with dynamic guidelines and front and rear sensors.
- Protection: six airbags, ISOFIX anchors, tyre pressure monitoring and electronic immobiliser.
The Comfort version includes six airbags, stability control, blind spot detection, lane change warning and hill descent control, according to Deagencia; it does not include autonomous braking.
Jetour T1 technology and interior: 15.6″ screen and Sony audio
The Sport and Hybrid versions fit a 15.6-inch central screen, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9-speaker Sony audio system. The Comfort uses a 12.8-inch screen and six speakers.
| Equipment | T1 Comfort | T1 Sport and Hybrid |

| Central screen | 12.8″ | 15.6″ |
| Digital instrument cluster | 10.25″ | 10.25″ |
| Apple CarPlay and Android Auto | Yes | Yes |

Jetour T1 vs RAV4, CX-5 and Tucson: how it compares
Against the benchmark compact SUVs in Panama, the T1 Sport stands out for power, size and the price of its 4×4 version with autonomous braking, while its rivals keep the advantage in reliability record and resale value.
| Item | Jetour T1 Sport XWD | Toyota RAV4 | Mazda CX-5 (2027) | Hyundai Tucson |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum power | 251 hp | 236 hp (Hybrid AWD) | 177 hp | 154 hp |
| 4×4 version with autonomous braking | 38,000 dollars | 44,995 dollars (Hybrid AWD) | 39,250 dollars (Signature AWD) | No equivalent version |
| Width / height | 1,967 / 1,843 mm | 1,855 / 1,695 mm | 1,860 / 1,695 mm | 1,865 / 1,665 mm |
| Boot | 574 L | 580 L | — | 539 L |
| Airbags | 6 | 7 | 7 | 6 |
The RAV4 offers a slightly larger boot, self-charging hybrid versions and Toyota’s service network; the CX-5 adds seven airbags. The T1, on sale in Panama since 2025, is still building its resale record. Data and sources for each rival in FAQ Box’s full Jetour T1 vs RAV4, CX-5 and Tucson comparison. Prices with ITBMS.
Jetour T1 warranty and international recognition
All versions of the Jetour T1 have a 7-year or 200,000 km warranty, and the hybrid’s battery 8 years or 150,000 km. So publishes the official distributor, Petromotors.
Which Jetour T1 version is worth buying?
The choice depends on use: Comfort for the city at the lowest price, Sport for anyone who leaves the tarmac and Hybrid for anyone who drives mostly in the city and can charge.
| If you are looking for… | Recommended version | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The lowest entry price | T1 Comfort (32,000 dollars) | Same size and warranty, 181 hp and good comfort equipment |
| Beach, farm or mountain trips | T1 Sport 2.0T XWD (38,000 dollars) | All-wheel drive, differential lock, off-road modes and autonomous braking |
| Saving fuel in the city | T1 Plug-in Hybrid (38,000 dollars) | 150 electric km (NEDC), 342 hp and a battery with an 8-year warranty |
Between Sport and Hybrid, at the same price, the key question is whether you need all-wheel drive. If not, and you have somewhere to charge, the hybrid cuts daily petrol spending. If off-road use is frequent, the Sport is the only version with 4×4.
The T1 will be on display at the Panama Motor Show 2026, from 2 to 4 and from 7 to 11 October, at the Panama Convention Center in Amador.
