The Indian automotive landscape is witnessing a massive expansion, and JSW Group’s venture into passenger vehicles via **JSW Motors** is creating significant buzz. By partnering with Chinese auto giant Chery, JSW is preparing a bold portfolio—fronted by the **Jetour T2**. Multiple sightings across India have revealed key insights into what buyers can expect.
Test mules spied near Pune (hinting at ARAI homologation testing) and on highways in Kerala have given enthusiast communities a detailed look:
Design & Presence: The Jetour T2 features a boxy design reminiscent of iconic off-roaders like the Land Rover Defender. It features flared wheel arches, pixel-shaped LED fog lamps, horizontal headlight strips, vertical tail lamps, and a square tailgate storage box.
Dimensions: Stretching roughly 4.78 metres long with a 2,800 mm wheelbase, it presents a larger footprint than standard mid-size SUVs, ensuring serious road presence.
Cabin Tech: Spy photos and global specs point to a tech-heavy 5-seater layout dominated by a massive **15.6-inch touchscreen**, a 10.25-inch digital cluster, Level 2 ADAS, a panoramic sunroof, and a 12-speaker Sony audio system.
For quick comparison, here are the expected core specifications of the India-bound Jetour T2:
| Feature / Spec | India-Bound Jetour T2 Details |
| — | — |
| **Powertrain** | 1.5L Turbo-Petrol + Dual Electric Motors (PHEV) |
| **Combined Output** | ~381 bhp / 610 Nm torque |
| **EV-Only Range** | ~139 km (26.7 kWh battery pack) |
| **Assembly Plant** | Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra |
| **Expected Pricing** | ₹15 Lakh to ₹30+ Lakh segment |
The Jetour T2 is merely the flagship entry point. Other Chery-backed models under evaluation have also been spotted during local trials, including the **Chery iCar V23** (a retro-styled electric off-roader) and the **Jaecoo J5** (a mid-size EV targeting the segment). With local assembly planned at JSW’s Maharashtra plant, local testing signals that JSW Motors is accelerating towards a market launch—targeting a late 2026 debut to shake up the premium lifestyle SUV space.
