Jetour T1 i-DM Review | Range, Efficiency & Is The T1 PHEV Worth It Over The Petrol T1?

I spent a full week with the Jetour T1 i-DM — the plug-in hybrid version of the T1 — and put it through everything: daily school runs, a long-distance 700km+ road trip, highway cruising, and a proper gravel stretch in rural Mpumalanga. This is my honest, real-world take. In this video I cover: ✅ How the i-DM differs from the petrol T1 (exterior, interior & drivetrain) ✅ Real-world EV range vs the claimed 100km ✅ Real-world fuel consumption vs the claimed figures ✅ What it actually costs to charge vs fill up with petrol ✅ The 3 driving modes explained — and which one I used most ✅ How it handles gravel ✅ The missing spare tyre problem ✅ Whether the R689,900 price tag is worth it over the top-spec petrol T1 ✅ My honest verdict 💰 QUICK NUMBERS: Price: R689,900 Real-world EV range: ~60km Real-world combined range (full tank + full charge): ~800km Best consumption achieved: 5.4 L/100km Charging cost (20–100%): approx. R74–R103 at a DC fast charger Full tank cost: approx. R1,960 (70L @ ~R28/L) 🚗 PETROL T1 RANGE FOR COMPARISON: 1.5T Edge — R514,900 1.5T Aspire — R544,900 2.0T Xplora XWD — R594,900 2.0T Odyssey XWD — R634,900 2.0T Odyssey Dark Knight XWD — R659,900 ⚠️ BIGGEST CATCH: The i-DM is FWD only — no AWD option available in SA.
