T2 becomes Jetour’s top seller in launch month
Comfortably outsells T1, Dashing and X70 Plus
Jetour reaches all-time sales high of 1 235 units

The local arrival of the new Jetour T2 in South Africa has paid immediate dividends for the growing Chinese brand, with the boxy newcomer serving as Jetour’s best-selling model in November 2025.

Despite officially hitting the market only in mid-November, the new T2 attracted as many as 545 sales last month, representing a whopping 44.1% of Jetour’s volume and comfortably making it the brand’s most popular nameplate for the month.

This performance helped push Jetour to its best sales tally yet, with its total increasing a whopping 44.3% month on month to a record 1 235 units. The Chinese marque thus finished in 15th place overall (just behind the BMW Group), while also securing 11th position in South Africa’s new passenger-vehicle space.

Interestingly, the new T1 that launched alongside the T2 wasn’t nearly as popular, with 81 units registered in November. In addition, local registrations of the Dashing dipped 28.8% month on month to 366 units, while sales of the X70 Plus fell 28.9% month on month to 243 units.

As a reminder, the T1 and T2 are boxy crossovers that share a unibody platform. The T1 measures 4 705 mm from nose to tail, while the T2 is slightly larger at 4 785 mm (including its tailgate-mounted spare wheel). At launch last month, the T1 line-up comprised 4 variants, with the T2 offered in 3 guises.

The T1 range kicks off at R514 900, available with either a 125 kW/270 Nm turbocharged 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine (driving the front wheels) or a 180 kW/375 Nm turbocharged 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol motor (driving all 4 wheels). The T2 is offered with the same choice of powertrains (and likewise with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission as standard), with prices starting at R569 900.
