JSW Motors Jetour T2-based SUV teased: All about rugged, 4x4 SUV

JSW Motors has teased the upcoming Jetour T2-based SUV for the first time. JSW Motors’ first SUV for the Indian market will be assembled at its upcoming manufacturing facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra.

A teaser image has been revealed as part of an advertisement inviting applications from prospective JSW Motors dealer partners. The teaser image shows its silhouette and the tagline, “The future is calling. Will you join the drive?”.

The teased image highlights the SUV’s front profile, including horizontal LED headlight strips housed within circular units and pixel-style LED fog lamps. It also shows an upright bonnet, prominent bumper, and squared wheel arches, matching the design of the Jetour T2.

This confirms that the launch of the new Jetour T2 is approaching. However, its final name for the Indian market is yet to be announced, and the SUV is expected to feature minor design revisions along with JSW Motors branding inside and out.

All about the Jetour T2 Design In terms of design, the Jetour T2 adopts a boxy, upright shape typical of off-road SUVs, with a wide rectangular grille, integrated LED lighting, and round headlamp housings featuring horizontal LED elements.

A flat bonnet, thick bumper, and skid-plate-style lower section add to its off-road-focused design. Along the sides, it features squared wheel arches, body cladding, and a straight shoulder line linking the front and rear.

The tall stance, large alloy wheels, and roof rails further underline its SUV proportions. At the rear, the SUV has a vertical tailgate with a spare wheel mounted on it, along with slim LED tail-lamps and a prominent bumper.

Engine options The international-spec Jetour T2 is offered with plug-in hybrid and all-electric powertrains, but the version planned for India has not been confirmed. Globally, the plug-in hybrid uses a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 154hp and 220Nm, paired with a 26.7kWh battery that supports single-motor front-wheel drive or dual-motor all-wheel drive configurations. The battery is rated for a claimed 139km range under the NEDC cycle.

Reports indicate the India-spec model is likely to use the hybrid system instead of the EV option.

Interior and features Moving inside, the Jetour T2 features an upright cabin layout with a wide, layered dashboard, reflecting its off-road focus. It gets a large tablet-style touchscreen and a fully digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel, along with a tall centre console that includes a gear selector, physical controls, and storage spaces.

Grab handles, metallic accents, and contrasting trim are also part of the design.Key features include a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charging, a 12-speaker Sony sound system, powered and ventilated front seats, and automatic climate control. Safety equipment includes a 360-degree camera, Level-2 ADAS, and hill start and descent assist. These features are expected to be offered on the India-spec version as well.
