(JAPI) has the T1 Lightning i-DM PHEV, which can do up to 120 km on electric power, has a combined 1,200 km range under ideal conditions, and has a vehicle-to-load (V2L) function to power up devices.

Those who have been thinking of getting one soon will be happy to know the Jetour T1 was recently awarded a five-star safety rating by the ASEAN NCAP. The new Jetour T1 delivered a strong performance in the ASEAN NCAP assessment under the 2021–2025 protocol with a total score of 87.67 points.

The T1’s accumulated score was based on the four assessment categories, consisting of the Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) category with 38.09 points, the Child Occupant Protection (COP) category with 16.18 points, the Safety Assist (SA) category with 17.14 points, and the Motorcyclist Safety (MS) category with 16.25 points.
