Verdict
The Jetour T2 is the stronger buy on the numbers: at RM156,800, it is RM3,200 cheaper than the RM160,000 Omoda Jaecoo C7, yet brings 241 hp, 375 Nm and all-wheel drive against 194 hp, 290 Nm and front-wheel drive. It is also 164 mm longer with a 100 mm longer wheelbase. The C7 claws back ground with RM120 annual road tax versus RM439, a meaningful RM319 yearly saving, and its powered boot is handier than the T2’s manual tailgate. Choose based on running cost versus capability.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo C7 if lower RM120 annual road tax and a powered boot matter more than all-wheel drive and outright power.
Pick the Jetour T2 if you want 241 hp, 375 Nm, all-wheel drive and a larger SUV for RM3,200 less upfront.
