Jetour Auto PH May 2026 YTD retail performance shows 177% growth

MANILA: Jetour Auto Philippines Incorporated (JAPI) sold 1,553 units on the first five months of 2026.

The Chinese automaker’s arm in the country announced that its January-May retail performance is 177 percent higher than the 561 units examples delivered to customers during the same period last year. 

Last month alone, JAPI delivered 484 Jetour vehicles to buyers—representing significant growth from the 163 units rolled out in May 2025.

The company’s latest performance followed the string of gains that it posted in April and March wherein it experienced increases of 283 percent (from 105 to 402 units) and 197 percent (from 105 to 362 units), respectively—further reinforcing Jetour’s consistent month-on-month growth trajectory for the year.

JAPI attributed its strong performance to the robust demand for its electrified offerings. Around 90 percent of its total sales—1,399 of the 1,553 units sold—for the initial five months of 2026 were nameplates that push sustainable mobility.

Spearheading the sales rally is the Jetour T1 Lightning i-DM, which combines modern hybrid technology, strong road presence, premium features, and competitive value. 

To note, Jetour’s electrified journey in the Philippines commenced with the launch of the Dashing Lightning i-DM and X70 Lightning i-DM in March 2025. This was followed by the introduction of the T1 Lightning i-DM and T2 Lightning i-DM.

Furthering its reach, JAPI started to tap the premium market with the unveiling of the Jetour Gaia subbrand—bannered by the G700.

“Consumers are clearly responding to JETOUR’s direction and our growing electrified vehicle line-up,” JAPI Sales Director Nikko Sayson explained.

“The strong performance of the T1 Lightning i-DM proves that the market is ready for smart and accessible hybrid mobility, while the introduction of the Jetour Gaia reflects Jetour’s commitment to expanding into the premium segment with products that combine innovation, technology, and lifestyle appeal,” he added. 

Relatedly, JAPI is inviting the public to visit its booth at the upcoming 10th Philippine International Motor Show, which will start tomorrow (June 4) until Sunday (June 7) at the World Trade Center, Pasay. There, the company will showcase its electrified range, test-drive select models, and enjoy special trade-in offers and event-only promotions.
