TL;DR
The JSW Group's Jetour T2 SUV has been spotted testing in Pune, indicating it is nearing its launch in the Indian market as a plug-in hybrid.
The JSW Group, in collaboration with Chery, appears to be making significant strides towards its official entry into the Indian automotive market, with the Jetour T2 SUV recently spotted undergoing testing in Pune. This sighting is particularly crucial as test mules in Pune often indicate ARAI-related testing and homologation work, suggesting that the Jetour T2 is nearing its official launch in the country.
The Jetour T2 has garnered attention for its rugged and assertive design, which bears a resemblance to premium off-roaders like the Defender. Internationally, the SUV is larger than the Tata Safari, promising a commanding road presence. Expected to arrive as a plug-in hybrid, local testing of the T2 hints at its potential to disrupt the premium SUV segment. While an official price is yet to be announced, it is anticipated to be in the range of Rs 35 lakh to Rs 45 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it against models like the Jeep Meridian and Skoda Kodiaq.
