Jetour T-Series Sales Soar Past 700 000 as South Africa Joins the Movement
Jetour’s popular T-Series has passed 700 000 in global deliveries since its 2023 debut, a milestone that the Chinese automaker confirmed back in May.
The figure is driven largely by the T2, which alone accounts for more than 500 000 units and, according to Jetour, is now the fastest-selling boxy SUV in history to reach that scale.
South Africa has become part of that growth story, with 4 910 T2 units sold locally since the model’s October launch.
Local Production Confirmed for Next Year
Jetour will manufacture both the T1 and T2 in South Africa from next year.
Production will take place following Chery’s acquisition of Nissan’s Rosslyn assembly plant. Local manufacturing is expected to shorten delivery times and improve parts availability for South African buyers, alongside more competitive price points.
Jetour operates independently from Chery in South Africa.
Globally, the two brands fall under the same Chery Group umbrella, giving Jetour access to established manufacturing and supply chain infrastructure while retaining its own local identity.
The Full South African Lineup
Both models were evaluated in a CAR Magazine road test published in the February issue last year, and this was the result of the evaluation:
| Model | Positioning | Notable Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Jetour T2 | Rugged boxy off-roader | Fastest-selling boxy SUV globally |
| Jetour T1 | Off-road focused SUV | Set for local production from next year |
| Jetour Dashing | Compact crossover | Road tested by CAR Magazine |
| Jetour X70 Plus | Family-focused SUV | Road tested by CAR Magazine |
Accessory Demand Rising Alongside Sales
As T2 ownership numbers grow, demand for tailored Jetour T2 accessories is rising in step, covering load bin protection, interior fittings, and equipment suited to South African road and weather conditions. Industry sources note that sourcing genuine, correctly fitted accessories helps new owners protect factory warranties and resale value.
With global sales past 700 000, a rising local sales count, and domestic production confirmed for next year, Jetour’s T-Series is positioned for continued growth in the South African market.
