Verdict
The RM6,000 step from the RM156,800 Jetour T2 XWD to the RM162,800 Jetour T2 i-DM PHEV changes the brief rather than merely adding trim. The XWD brings all-wheel drive and a 241 hp, 375 Nm 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, while the PHEV trades that for front-wheel drive, an 18.4 kWh battery and a quoted 100 km EV range. Its RM120 annual road tax versus RM439 also matters. Choose the XWD for driven-wheel traction; choose the i-DM if you can charge regularly and want the lower running tax plus extra driver-assistance kit.
Pick the Jetour T2 XWD if all-wheel drive and the 241 hp, 375 Nm 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine matter more than plug-in charging.
Pick the Jetour T2 i-DM PHEV if you can use its quoted 100 km EV range and want RM120 annual road tax, extra safety functions and an electric tailgate.
