The SUV you suddenly see everywhere.

The Jetour T2 only entered the UAE market in early 2024. Two years later, it reached the top of the country's new-car sales ranking. In May 2026, the T2 became the UAE's best-selling new vehicle, moving ahead of established names including the Nissan Patrol. From newcomer to No. 1 in the UAE.

Its success confirms what drivers across the Emirates have already noticed: the Jetour T2 seems to be everywhere.

UAE automotive market, 2026

Built for the Emirates.

The T2 brings together many of the characteristics UAE drivers look for in an SUV: bold design, generous interior space and genuine 4x4 capability. Its 2.0-litre turbocharged engine delivers 390 Nm through a 7-speed DCT, while its four-wheel-drive system and seven driving modes give it the versatility to move from city roads to the desert.

Why the formula works.

Design, capability and value. The T2 combines the visual presence of a rugged off-roader with modern technology and everyday usability — a formula that has quickly found its audience in the UAE.

You see them in Dubai. You see them in Abu Dhabi. And increasingly, you see them beyond the city. The numbers now confirm what UAE roads have been showing for months.

Jetour T2, UAE

More than a passing trend?

The UAE has always been a strong SUV market, traditionally dominated by established Japanese and European names. The T2 arrived with a different proposition: distinctive styling, 4x4 capability and extensive equipment in a package that quickly attracted UAE buyers.

A market shift

From unfamiliar name to familiar sight.

The rise of the Jetour T2 reflects a wider change in the UAE automotive market. Chinese manufacturers are becoming increasingly visible, and the T2 has achieved something particularly significant: reaching the top of the country's monthly new-car ranking.
