JSW Motors is getting ready to launch its own passenger car brand in India as an independent entity, and the Jetour brand is expected to play a key role in the exercise. The company is reportedly working on a launch during the Diwali season 2026 and will be releasing its first SUV in early 2027.
CarLelo reports that the Jetour T2 PHEV is likely to be released in India in January 2027. The plug-in hybrid SUV is expected to be manufactured locally and might offer a claimed range of over 1,200 km on a full tank of fuel and a fully charged battery.
JSW Motors' India launch plan
JSW Motors is anticipated to officially launch the brand name 'Jetour' in India sometime around Diwali 2026. The festive period could also mark the start of customer engagement activities and preliminary interest registrations.
The PHEV is expected to be the first model Jetour markets in India. It might be announced at the Auto Expo 2027, but it has not been officially confirmed yet by JSW Motors.
Jetour T2 PHEV could offer 1,200km range
The T2 PHEV is powered by a 1.5-litre i-DM plug-in hybrid powertrain, which consists of a turbo-petrol power unit, an electric motor and a 26.7kWh battery pack.
The powertrain is claimed to deliver a combined 381 hp and 610 Nm of power. The SUV is said to offer up to 139km of all-electric range, which would enable shorter trips without relying on the petrol engine.
Its standout feature may be the claimed 1,200km range with a full tank of fuel and the battery charged. This could give the T2 an advantage over conventional petrol SUVs while reducing range anxiety associated with pure EVs.
Four SUVs planned by 2027
The T2 PHEV is likely to be a flagship product in the product line of JSW Motors. The company is reportedly going to launch 4 SUVs by the end of 2027.
Lifestyle-oriented SUVs, plug-in hybrids and urban crossovers are expected to be in the upcoming portfolio. JSW Motors is expected to make further announcements regarding its product strategy closer to its brand launch.
