Jetour celebrates first 100 days in the local market /Announces new models

Jetour celebrates its first 100 days in the local market with the motoring media.

Jetour has made significant strides in their first 100 days in the Philippine market. They've opened 6 dealerships with another 6 currently under construction. They aim to open a total of 26 dealerships by the end of 2023.

They've put 300 Jetour vehicles on Philippine roads in their first 100 days. They aim to sell 50k vehicles in the next 5 years.

That seems like a lofty goal but after personally seeing their upcoming products on a recent trip to China, I don't think it's completely unrealistic as they have some game-changing products in the pipeline. At least 2 of those are scheduled to launch this year.

First would be the Land Rover-sized and shaped Jetour T2 which will come in both PHEV and ICE variants.

I was able to film a walk-around of the T2. You can watch it here:

They will also likely launch the Jetour Dashing PHEV this year which we also got to drive in China. That one comes with 326hp and 545Nm of torque which should complement its sporty looks quite nicely.

Also something to look forward to although probably not this year is the massive T3. It was easily the most impressive looking SUV at the Shanghai Motor show.

Jetour is serious about Electtification with 2 PHEV models coming soon. There will be no mild hybrids in their lineup

Jetour Unveils the Off-road Focused, T3 SUV

Shanghai, China. Jetour unveils the T3, an off-road focused, 4x4, body on frame, hybrid SUV at the Shanghai Auto Show. It features a 2.0L turbocharged engine coupled to dual electric motors which send power to all four 22inch wheels. Currently we dont know the total power output or the battery capacity but Jetour did show-off the naked chassis of the T3 and the battery appears to be quite massive, as well as the dual electric motors. Total range in EV mode is 200Kms. The body sits on a steel ladder frame chassis. It has a robust double-wishbone suspension setup on all four corners. It also appears to have air suspension, at least from what i can tell visually ( there was no english spec sheet at the time of this writing) The T3 has a pretty innovative steering system which can rotate the wheels in different directions and allows it to achieve a very tight turning raduis or even to rotate in place -A useful feature in tight off road situations.

Mazda Launches the CX60 in the Philippines

Many have touted Mazda as the BMW of Japan as both brands focus heavily on the driving experience. Mazda's vehicles tend to be more driver-focused than their Japanese mainstream competitors. But from a BMW driver’s point of view, there's one important thing that differentiates Mazda from BMW and other premiere German brands. Most BMWs are rear-wheel drive or rear biased AWD. Mazdas, with the exception of their dedicated sports cars, are front-wheel drive or heavily front biased all-wheel drive. That affects their driving dynamics as it’s hard to get them to oversteer under power. It also affects the balance of the car as most of the weight is at the front. That changes with Mazda's current generation of crossovers. Mazda just launched the CX60 in the Philippines, their first rear-wheel drive biased crossover with a longitudinally mounted inline 6 engine and near 50/50 weight distribution. The CX60 will come in diesel and petrol variants. Both have 3.3L 6-cylinder engines. T...

We're probably going to get the successor to the Strada early next year and it's gonna be called the Triton. Mitsubishi unveiled the new Triton (currently called the XRT Concept) at Mitsubishi's 60th Anniversary Expo. The Concept model should look very close to the production model So far we have no details about the Philippine-spec model apart from the exterior styling which now looks more rugged and boxier looking. Also at the show is Mitsubishi's XFC concept which should also get a production model very soon See the new Triton, the XFC as well as other old and new Mitsubishi models at Mitsibhsi's 60th Anninversary Expo taking place from aug 11-13, 10am to 9pm at the World Trade Center, Pasay #mitsubishi #mitsubishitriton #newmitsubishitriton #2024mitsubishitriton
