Jetour T1 - Off-road review: Does X-Mode actually work?

We are back at Kungwini to put the Jetour T1 through its paces. After our test with the T2, many of you suggested that we didn't give the technology a fair go, specifically the X-Mode. Today, we’re back on a much wetter, muddier track to see if this top-of-the-range Odyssey derivative can truly handle the rough stuff. What’s inside this video: A look at the T1's specs and derivatives. On-road impressions and driver assistance tech. Off-road testing: Rock vs Mud vs X-Mode. Water crossing and articulation challenges. The "Stuck" Story: What happens when the tech runs out of steam?. Is the Jetour T1 worth the R634,900 price tag? If you’re looking for a stable, spacious, and tech-heavy SUV for the city and light gravel, it’s a winner. But if you're planning on hitting the heavy 4x4 trails, you might want to hear our final verdict first. 00:00 - Introduction & Technical Specifications 01:45 - On-road Impressions & Tech Features 02:45 - Off-road Strategy & X-Mode Overview 04:15 - First Incline: Rock Mode Test 05:48 - The Muddy Hill Climb Challenge 06:28 - Testing X-Mode on the Hill 08:55 - Muds, Ruts & Articulation Testing 12:28 - Side Tilt & Camera System Test 14:11 - The Reality Check: Getting Stuck in the Mud 16:35 - X-Mode vs. Rock Mode: Critical Findings 18:15 - Final Verdict: Luxury SUV or True 4x4? 19:40 - Interior Layout & Infotainment Issues 20:45 - Pricing & Competitive Market Comparison
