The T2’s i-DM system is composed of a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, two electric motors, and a 26.7 kWh battery. These power sources can combine to deliver 375-hp and 610-Nm of combined total output. It’s capable of a 139-km (NEDC) electric-only range and a total combined range of over 1,000 km. Power is routed through a three-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) to the wheels.
In addition, the T2 Lightning i-DM will also boast of a BOSS interior. This is composed of dark teal leather seats, boldly accented by neon orange branding and matching seatbelt detailing.
Finally, the new variant will also have key features like L2 intelligent driving assistance, a 15.6-inch central screen, and a 540° panoramic image system.
Camille Prats-Yambao as brand ambassador
The very first unit will be released to Camille Prats, highlighting her continued trust and belief in the Jetour brand.
Prats recently renewed her contract as a brand ambassador for Jetour Auto following a successful year of partnership and ready to usher in an exciting new chapter for both Camille and the brand.
"I am incredibly thrilled to continue my journey with the Jetour family," said Camille. "It's more than just a brand; they truly make you feel cared for, from the moment you inquire to the long-term after-sales support. My experience with the JETOUR Dashing Lightning i-DM has been amazing, and it has shown me the real-world value of hybrid technology. In fact, seeing the practicality and savings, I had to let go of some of our older vehicles to switch to a Jetour plug-in hybrid. That's a real testament to the brand, and now, I'm so excited to be the first to drive the JETOUR T2 Lightning i-DM with BOSS Interior. It's the perfect upgrade for my family's adventures."
Prats’ contract renewal and switch to a T2 Lightning i-DM is timed with the T2’s second year in the Philippine market. As JETOUR Auto Philippines prepares for the official launch of the JETOUR T2 Boss Edition, the brand invites everyone to stay tuned for what promises to be another game-changer in the Philippine automotive market.
