JETOUR Auto Philippines Inc. (JAPI) has unveiled its two newest vehicles—the JETOUR Dashing Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and the JETOUR T2 4×4 SUV.
In the JETOUR Dashing PHEV, JAPI Managing Director Miguelito Jose said he found an astoundingly efficient hybrid propulsion system. “This vehicle is a game-changer. Not only does it reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but with a combined full tank of fuel and a fully charged electric battery, you can go 1,000 kilometers without any worries. Say goodbye to range anxiety and hello to endless possibilities!”
The JETOUR Dashing PHEV is the ultimate fusion of fuel and electric, and represents JAPI’s commitment to sustainable and green mobility. The JETOUR Dashing PHEV derives its power from two propulsion systems, the 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine paired with the 3DHT automatic transmission, and the electric motor powered by the Ternary lithium battery. With the i-DM Intelligent Drive System packaged into the JETOUR Dashing PHEV’s Kunlun hybrid design, power and efficiency are optimized, and awe-inspiring performance is achieved. The vehicle’s engine produces 545 Nm of torque, enabling the JETOUR Dashing PHEV to accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in just 7 seconds. Meanwhile, its pure electric drive range is up to 100 kilometers.
The JETOUR Dashing PHEV is now available in the country for just P1.95 million. However, buyers need to act fast, since the Dashing PHEV is a limited edition, good only for the first 10 customers.
‘Not your ordinary SUV’
On JETOUR T2, Jose remarked: “This is not your ordinary SUV. It’s a powerful 4X4 beast that can conquer any terrain, and combines rugged capability with refined aesthetics.”
The “beast” is the JETOUR T2’s 2.0-liter Kunpeng Turbo Gas Direct Injection mated to the Magna 7DCT 3rd-generation wet dual-clutch transmission with intelligent execution system, which generates up to 251 horsepower and up to 390 Nm of torque. Managing the 4-wheel-drive system of the JETOUR T2 is the Smart XWD Intelligent 4WD (four-wheel drive).
Inside and out, the JETOUR T2 oozes confidence and strength. The realization of the T-X concept car, the JETOUR T2 combines the aesthetics of ruggedness and the functionality of high-technology. The exterior touches give the T2 the ideal physique of an SUV that’s ready to play hard in any urban and outdoor setting.

In terms of safety, the JETOUR T2 is fully loaded. The chassis comes standard with metal underbody shields for stronger protection. The 8-point full-frame front subframe has better overall integrity. Overall, the design safety factor of linkage-type parts has been ramped up by more than 20 percent.

These safety design qualities, combined with the Bosch 5+3 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) uses fifth-generation radars/sensors and third generation cameras that enhances the detection of objects within its surroundings.
The radars can detect objects up to 210 meters and cameras have a field of view of around 150 meters for vehicle detection and 70 meters for pedestrian detection that goes with the more than 17 Intelligent assisted driving functions, such as the adaptive cruise control, and active emergency braking.
