The JETOUR T1 is a compact SUV with off-road looks and capabilities sold in Panama in three versions: Comfort ($32,000), Sport 2.0T XWD ($38,000), and Plug-in Hybrid ($38,000), including ITBMS. It enters the most competitive segment in the country, where the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, and Hyundai Tucson have been benchmarks for years. The Sport version arrives with 251 HP, all-wheel drive, a 15.6-inch screen, and a seven-year warranty. Here are its figures compared to the leaders.

C-segment SUVs are the heart of the Panamanian market. The JETOUR T1 arrived in Panama in March 2025 and was presented for all of Latin America at the Panama Convention Center in May of that year. Its proposition is different: that of a compact SUV with off-road looks and capabilities.

How much does the JETOUR T1 cost in Panama?

The JETOUR T1 costs $32,000 for the Comfort version and $38,000 for the Sport XWD and Plug-in Hybrid versions, including ITBMS, according to the September 2026 offer prices published by Petromotors.

What makes the JETOUR T1 stand out?

  • Power: With 251 HP, the T1 Sport outperforms all versions of the RAV4, CX-5, and Tucson listed in the specifications published in Panama. The plug-in hybrid version reaches 342 HP.
  • The most accessible 4x4 with autonomous braking in the group: The T1 Sport XWD, with autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control, 540° camera, and hill descent control, costs $38,000. This is less than the CX-5 Signature AWD ($39,250) and the RAV4 Hybrid AWD ($44,995), the all-wheel-drive versions with autonomous braking from its rivals.
  • Off-road capability: Driving modes for snow, mud, sand, and rock, central differential lock, electronic limited-slip differential, and wading detection.
  • Size: It is the widest (1,967 mm) and tallest (1,843 mm) of the four.
  • Warranty: 7 years or 200,000 kilometers on all versions.

Where do the rivals remain the benchmark?

An honest comparison also mentions the other side. The RAV4 offers a slightly larger trunk (580 L), a self-charging hybrid version, and Toyota's service network. The CX-5 has seven airbags and a 15.6-inch screen in its Signature version, starting at $27,995 for the Advanced version. And all three have years of reliability and resale history in Panama, something the T1, on sale in the country since 2025, is still building.

Who is the JETOUR T1 for?

For those who want a compact SUV for the city but do not want to give up going off-road: a weekend at the beach, a dirt road to the farm, or a trip up to Boquete. Japanese and Korean compacts remain excellent options for the city. The T1 Sport adds power, all-wheel drive, and a seven-year warranty in the same price range. And those who mainly drive urban routes can choose the plug-in hybrid version, with 150 km in electric mode according to the NEDC cycle. The T1 will be at the Panama Motor Show 2026, from October 2 to 4 and 7 to 11, at the Panama Convention Center in Amador.
