Jetour T1: Dubai’s Go-To SUV for Weekend Adventures & Road Trips in 2026

19 January 2026

As the work week winds down and the weekend is just around the corner, the idea of a spontaneous or planned getaway becomes appealing. In Dubai, that often means swapping city skylines for mountain trails, serene coastlines, or sweeping desert landscapes, making weekend trips a perfect excuse to recharge and explore.

To make the most of these escapes, you need a vehicle that offers space, comfort, and a dependable driving experience, without compromising on capability. This is where the Jetour T1stands out with its design that handles daily commutes just as well as varied terrain.

Engineered for Adventure, Power, and Capability

In the UAE, a weekend drive can take you from open highways to winding mountain trails and off-the-beaten paths that lead to quiet, scenic escapes.The Jetour T1 is designed for this exact mix. It brings power and control that fit into both city life and off-road escapes.

Confident Power for Highways and Climbs

Under the bonnet, the Jetour T1 runs on a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 254 horsepower and 390 Nm of torque. On the road, this translates into smooth acceleration on highways like Sheikh Zayed Road and steady performance when overtaking or climbing steep inclines.

This becomes especially noticeable on routes where consistent power matters more than outright speed. The T1 stays steady on long ascents, allowing drivers to focus on the road rather than managing the vehicle.

When the paved road ends, the T1 is equipped to keep going. With 200 mm of ground clearance and well-balanced off-road angles, it handles gravel paths and uneven surfaces with confidence. 

Effortless Control with Adaptive AWD

One of the T1’s strengths lies in how it manages traction. The BorgWarner XWD system works quietly in the background, shifting between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive as conditions change. Power is distributed automatically, so there is no need to stop and manually adjust settings.

For added control, the T1 offers dedicated driving modes that suit common UAE landscapes, including:

• Sand mode for desert tracks and loose surfaces
• Mud mode for low-grip terrain after rain
• Rock mode for uneven or rugged paths

Each mode fine-tunes throttle response, gear shifts, and traction control to maintain stability. Drivers who plan to explore more challenging routes will appreciate the added reassurance offered by the Jetour T1 Luxury 4WD.

Comfort and Connectivity: A Cabin Built for Long Drives

When the hours add up and the road keeps going, a comfortable cabin makes all the difference. The Jetour T1 ticks the boxes even in this regard. 

Comfort That Holds Up Over Long Drives

Weekend road trips often mean hours behind the wheel, and the Jetour T1 is built to make every minute enjoyable. Instead of relying solely on soft-touch materials, its cabin prioritizes ergonomic support, advanced climate control, and noise reduction, creating a space that feels effortless to spend time in.

Built for the UAE Climate

• Ventilated front seats help regulate body temperature during the summer months
• Dual-layer sunproof glass reduces heat and glare, keeping the cabin cooler under direct sunlight

Designed to Reduce Fatigue

• Ergonomically shaped seats provide proper support on longer drives rather than sinking into softness
• A wide seating layout gives both front and rear passengers room to settle in comfortably
• A premium Sony audio system fills the cabin with rich sound, especially noticeable thanks to the quiet interior

Space That Adapts to Your Plans

Whether your plans involve hiking, cycling, or a simple overnight stay, the T1 offers flexible space that adjusts easily and allows you to pack all your gear without sacrificing passenger comfort.

• Boot capacity ranges from 574 to 1,455 liters
• With the second row folded, cargo depth extends to 1,940 mm
• 45 storage compartments throughout the vehicle to help keep smaller items organized

Technology That Supports the Drive

The Jetour T1’s digital features are designed to support navigation, visibility, and comfort without pulling attention away from the road.

• A Central Hub for Navigation and Control - A 15.6-inch touchscreen sits at the center of the cabin, powered by the Snapdragon 8155 Smart Chip
• Seamless Smartphone Integration - Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow drivers to use familiar navigation and music apps easily, reducing the need to switch between systems while driving
• Confidence in Tight or Unfamiliar Spaces - A 540-degree panoramic camera system provides a full view of your surroundings. This would especially come in useful when manoeuvring at remote campsites or navigating busy parking areas
• A Brighter, More Open Cabin: The panoramic sunroof floods the interior with natural light, making scenic drives even more enjoyable.
