Jetour T2 — the boxy adventure SUV everyone's talking about

The Jetour T2 is the standout of Jetour's "Traveller" off-road line — a squared-off, retro-rugged SUV with clear Land Rover Defender / Ford Bronco energy: upright pillars, a side-hinged tailgate carrying an exposed spare wheel, chunky cladding and a properly boxy silhouette.

Under the adventurous styling sits a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol with an automatic gearbox and available all-wheel drive, plus off-road drive modes for buyers who actually want to leave the tarmac. The cabin swings the other way — big twin screens, a panoramic roof, ambient lighting and a surprisingly plush, tech-heavy layout — so it's rugged outside and modern-lounge inside.

It's pitched at the lifestyle/adventure crowd who want Defender looks and genuine some-terrain ability at a fraction of the price. For our market the talking points are the 4WD hardware and ground clearance for real trails, fuel economy from the 2.0T, and how it stacks up against the GWM Tank 300. Who's putting this on their shortlist?
