Jetour T2 secures five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating, report says CKD, two variants, ADAS top variant only?

Jetour T2 secures five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating, report says CKD, two variants, ADAS top variant only?

It’s not even launched yet, but the Jetour T2 already has five ASEAN NCAP stars in the bag. The crash test took place at the China Automotive Engineering Research Institute (CAERI) in Chongqing on November 25, although ASEAN NCAP says final evaluations were conducted in December “to conclude our 2025 calendar”. Last car to be tested under the outgoing 2021-2025 protocol? We’re now into the 2026–2030 protocol, which should have more emphasis on ADAS.

One of two Malaysia-bound Jetours (see the other one here), the T2 achieved 37.17 out of 40 points for adults, 15.94 out of 20 for children, 17.14 out of 20 for safety assist and 16.25 out of 20 for motorcyclists, resulting in a 86.5-point total score.

Crucially, the ASEAN NCAP report reveals some details – Malaysia is listed under ‘other ASEAN production’, suggesting that our T2 could be locally assembled (CKD), as are the Dashing and VT9 at Berjaya’s Tampoi plant. Also, ‘2’ is the number of variants, and AEB, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keep assist and auto high beam are listed as ‘available as optional’. If this is true, it means we’ll only get ADAS on the top variant.

“Achieving a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating is a significant milestone for the Jetour T2 and a strong validation of its overall engineering and safety performance. From its robust body structure to its comprehensive safety systems, the T2 is designed to protect occupants and help drivers avoid collisions.

“As we prepare for the Malaysian launch in Q1 2026, this result gives customers added confidence that safety is built into the T2 from the start,” Jetour Auto Malaysia CEO Fu Yong said in a release.

Both variants should have six airbags, seatbelt reminders for all occupants, rear seat occupant detection, blind spot detection, pedestrian protection, child presence detection and ISOFIX. Open for booking at an estimated RM178,888, Q1 launch, 254 PS/390 Nm 2.0 litre turbo engine, seven-speed wet DCT – scrutinise the Malaysian-spec Jetour T2 here.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.
