The two SUVs are plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and place the Chinese brand in one of the most competitive segments of the domestic market
Jetour presented two of its PHEV SUVs (plug-in or rechargeable hybrid) to complete the first stage of launches in Brazil: the T1 and T2. Both have as a differential the look with off-road appeal – “inspired” by classics of the category – and the good package of standard items as attractions to hook the consumer in the competitive segment of SUVs between R$ 200 thousand and R$ 300 thousand.
Both models are on pre-sale and the first units will begin to be delivered from March.
