A recently launched plug-in hybrid SUV has made its debut in Nigeria’s automotive market, offering a combination of tough performance and fuel-efficient technology as more people show interest in eco-friendly transportation options.

The Jetour T2 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle merges rugged off-road capabilities with electric innovation, offering a choice for drivers who want reliability without compromising on comfort.

Spanning 4,785mm in length, 2,006mm in width, and 1,875mm in height, the SUV exudes a strong, impressive appearance that is ideal for both city environments and rugged landscapes.

Commenting on the progress, Kemi Adeola from Jetour Nigeria stated that the model was created to address the challenges of Nigerian roads, providing adaptability for various driving situations.

She observed that the vehicle offers a combination of performance, fuel efficiency, and cutting-edge technology, in line with the nation’s progressive move toward cleaner energy sources.

As per the company, its certified dealers — Elizade Nigeria Limited, New Era Autovehicle Services Limited, Kojo Motors, Germaine Auto Centre, Tab Autos Limited, R.T. Briscoe Motors, and Mandilas Autos — are spread across the country to guarantee accessibility and post-purchase assistance.

A notable characteristic of the vehicle is its ability to operate in two driving modes. The hybrid technology enables it to function on gasoline or transition smoothly to electric power, aiding in lowering fuel use and pollution.

Jetour mentioned that the model also tackles worries about electric vehicles by offering various charging methods, such as rapid and standard charging, engine-based charging, and energy recovery from braking, all aimed at reducing range anxiety.

Equipped with a 26.73kWh battery, the SUV is designed to manage urban traffic, highways, and challenging landscapes. When the battery level decreases, a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine acts as a power generator, providing energy to maintain the vehicle’s operation.

Safety features consist of various airbags, state-of-the-art emergency braking, anti-roll control, and a 360-degree camera system. Additional driver assistance systems like lane departure alerts, blind-spot monitoring, and collision warnings are also available.

Within, the car includes a 15.6-inch display that works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as elements like adaptive cruise control, a sunroof, cooled seats, and a high-end sound system.

The performance is driven by a three-speed hybrid transmission system that ensures optimal energy efficiency and quick responsiveness, whether operating in electric or hybrid mode.

The launch of the model comes after Jetour’s recent acclaim within the Nigerian automotive sector, such as being named the fastest-growing brand in 2024 and winning the Car of the Year title in 2025.

The firm mentioned that the sport utility vehicle includes a five-year or 150,000-kilometre warranty, showcasing belief in its longevity.

Industry experts believe the launch indicates growing rivalry within Nigeria’s SUV market, particularly as car manufacturers keep looking into electric alternatives that fit local requirements.
