The JETOUR T2 is a rugged off roader that will challenge the TANK 300
Yes, the age of rugged off roaders is around the corner for Malaysians. Remember when the JEEP brand held this segment proudly for decades with no real rivals? Yes, there was a Lada and KIA rugged off roader on sale decades ago, but it was the American made JEEP that held the crown.
Now comes a few rugged off roaders from Chinese automakers. It started with the arrival of the GWM TANK 300 which is scheduled to arrive in showrooms very soon. Then there is the BAIC B40 which will be launched next week. But it will be JETOUR that will get more attention. Why? Let us explain.
