Jetour is set to launch the T2 all-wheel-drive SUV in Russia during the first quarter of 2024, according to the analytical agency Avtostat. The move signals the brand’s push to broaden its footprint in the Russian market, aligning with a wave of new product introductions anticipated for the year.
In terms of dimensions, the Jetour T2 measures 4785 mm in length and sits on a 2800 mm wheelbase. The Chinese market offers a diverse engine lineup for the T2, with a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine delivering 184 horsepower in front-wheel-drive configurations, while an all-wheel-drive option features a two-liter turbo engine producing 254 horsepower. These specs position the T2 as a capable and versatile option within Jetour’s SUV lineup.
Inside, the SUV features a 15-inch multimedia display and a suite of advanced driver aids. Standard equipment reportedly includes an all-around vision system, adaptive cruise control, and automated parking assist. Ground clearance and body geometry reflect a design focused on both urban practicality and light off-road capability, with a passage depth of 700 mm and angles of attack 28 degrees and departure 30 degrees guiding its approach and exit in varied terrains.
Formal technical specifications and configuration details for the T2 will be revealed closer to the start of sales, as Jetour finalizes market-specific options and pricing for Russia. The forthcoming announcements will clarify available drivetrains, trim levels, and technology packages tailored to the regulatory and consumer context in the region.
Meanwhile, industry chatter has also highlighted that BAIC plans to introduce two new off-road vehicles in Russia within 2024. The BJ40 mid-size diesel-powered SUV is expected to reach showrooms in the first half of the year, followed by the larger BJ60 chassis model toward the end of the year, signaling BAIC’s continued expansion in the Russian automotive landscape.
Earlier reports noted that the debut of Volkswagen’s ID.7 electric car in China faced a rocky start to sales. The development underscores the broader global transition dynamics, where the timing and reception of new electrified models can vary by market and by brand strategy. Analysts suggest that consumer familiarity with EV technologies, local charging infrastructure, and competitive pricing will shape the ID.7’s trajectory in key regions, including North America and parts of Europe, as manufacturers refine global rollout plans and tailor offerings to local demand.
