The Jetour T1 and T2 now have a revised payload rating of 475kg.
Jetour’s T-Series SUVs were an instant hit after being launched in South Africa in 2025, particularly the rugged-looking T2, which also scooped the country’s official Car of the Year title in early 2026.
However, controversy has surrounded the payload ratings for the T1 and T2 models, with quoted figures of between 300kg and 375kg – depending on the model and calculation method – seeming unusually low for a five-seat midsize SUV.
These figures could easily be exceeded with five occupants on board, and that’s before factoring in any luggage.
However, Jetour has now revised the official payloads of the T1 and T2 models to 475kg. The company says this follows engagements with its head office as well as the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS).
