First Impressions: Driving the Jetour T2 SUV Off-road

However, it should be noted that drivers with a height of around 160 cm or less may feel less comfortable and confident when tackling offroad terrain.

Visibility feels more limited, compounded by the small rear window. However, this shortcoming is compensated by the presence of a 360-degree camera.

Unlike many Chinese cars, there are still many physical buttons to control features like the AC.

However, the side mirror function, which must be controlled via the head unit, is quite cumbersome and requires getting used to.

Meanwhile, in the second-row seats, the cabin feels very spacious. The interior is dominated by black, giving it a strong sporty feel.

Driving Sensation

Due to time constraints, the offroad route we tried was quite short but it could somewhat satisfy our curiosity.

Due to heavy rain, the offroad area was flooded with water and mud, causing the car's tires to slip easily. 

However, the Jetour T2 handled this thanks to its Mud driving mode, which is integrated with its adaptive four-wheel drive (4WD) system.

The power distribution to each wheel can be adjusted so that the Jetour T2 does not lose traction on the muddy road.
