Jetour T1 achieves 5-star rating

The New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries has also completed the evaluation recently of the Jetour’s latest model — the all-new Jetour T1 —  which delivered a strong performance earning a 5-Star Asean NCAP rating of 87.67 points. 

The T1’s accumulated score was based on the four assessment categories consisting of the adult occupant protection category with 38.09 points, the child occupant protection category with 16.18 points, the safety assist category with 17.14 points, and the motorcyclist safety category with 16.25 points.

“Safety remains one of the most important priorities for Filipino car buyers, and this recognition further strengthens our confidence in the Jetour lineup. The 5-Star Asean NCAP rating for the all-new Jetour T1 reflects the brand’s commitment to delivering vehicles that combine innovative technology, everyday practicality, and the highest standards of occupant protection. As we continue to grow the Jetour presence in the Philippines, we remain dedicated to offering vehicles that Filipino families can trust, whether for daily driving or for their next adventure,” Miguelito Jose, the managing director of Jetour Auto Philippines Inc., said.

The new T1 offers standard features across all its variants comprising six airbags, electronic stability control, Anti-lock Braking System, Seatbelt Reminder System for both of its front and rear occupants, rear seat detection, Child Presence Detection, ISOFIX for child safety seats, Blind Spot Detection for the driver- and front passenger-side of the vehicle and Pedestrian Protection. The rugged compact cross-over SUV is also equipped with Autonomous Emergency Braking City, AEB Inter-Urban, AEB Pedestrian, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Auto High Beam, and AEB for motorcycles as optional fitment.

The T1 offers a compelling alternative for consumers seeking a rugged, adventurous aesthetic in a more compact, maneuverable package. We are encouraged to see that Jetour has maintained a high standard of safety technology integration in this smaller model. We look forward to seeing more Jetour models enter the Southeast Asian market equipped with essential safety innovations for our consumers.

ASEAN NCAP is a new addition to the NCAP organizations around the world, targeted to enhance safety standards, raise consumer awareness, and thus encourage a market for safer vehicles in the Southeast Asia region (ASEAN community). This is a collaborative effort by MIROS and Global NCAP, which funded the project’s pilot phase. ASEAN NCAP is also supported by the membership of Automobile Associations from the Philippines, Singapore (AA Singapore), Cambodia, and Thailand.

The first phase of the ASEAN NCAP Roadmap 2021-2030 comprises four pillars: Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Safety Assist, and Motorcyclist Safety. For each of these pillars, there shall be additional elements and improvements to the previous rating systems as we strive toward a higher car safety standard suited to the ASEAN context.
