JETOUR Malaysia continues to strengthen its footprint in the local automotive landscape with the official launch of its latest SUV, the JETOUR VT9.
Unveiled at the Malaysia Autoshow 2025 held at MAEPS, Serdang, the VT9 is the brand’s newest entry in its growing portfolio, promising a dynamic blend of design, practicality, and innovation.
Positioned as a smart and versatile SUV, the VT9 embodies the essence of adventure and the spirit of JETOUR’s “Travel+” philosophy — creating vehicles that support experience-rich, meaningful journeys. The “VT” stands for “Venture,” while the “9” reflects its focus on spaciousness and comfort, making it ideal for families and long-distance travel.
Built on a solid platform, the VT9 commands attention with its wide 1.9-metre stance and sculpted profile. Its bold exterior is characterised by the signature JETOUR X-Face grille, sleek LED lighting, and dual twin exhaust tips. Notably, the design draws inspiration from traditional Chinese aesthetics, incorporating features such as lantern-style daytime running lights and a feather-patterned grille that fuses heritage with modern sophistication.
According to Mr. Fu Yong, Chief Executive Officer of JETOUR Malaysia, the VT9 marks a significant step in the brand’s expansion strategy. “This launch is a reflection of our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of Malaysian consumers. The VT9 combines functionality with premium design, delivering on performance, practicality, and innovation,” he said.
Inside, the VT9 offers a flexible 7-seater layout with foldable second and third-row seats, providing up to 1,680 litres of cargo capacity. The cabin is enhanced with premium details such as a leather-wrapped D-shaped steering wheel, aluminium accents, and ventilated, perforated seats designed for comfort.
The interior also features a 10.25-inch high-resolution twin-screen infotainment setup that supports multi-touch, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with intelligent voice command functionality. Other comfort and connectivity highlights include a 62-inch panoramic sunroof, powered tailgate, 50W wireless charging, and a CN95 air filtration system to maintain cabin air quality.
In terms of safety, the VT9 is equipped with six airbags, a high-strength steel frame, 360-degree HD camera system, and advanced driver assistance features including Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Hill Hold, and Hill Descent Control.
Under the hood, the VT9 is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission (6DCT), engineered to deliver smooth performance and efficiency. With over two million kilometres of durability testing, the VT9 aims to provide reliable performance for modern families and professionals alike.
Two variants are available: the Comfort variant, priced from RM118,800, and the Prime variant from RM123,800. The Comfort variant offers LED auto headlamps, 19-inch alloy wheels, ambient lighting, and wireless charging.
The Prime variant adds premium features such as a panoramic sunroof, 6-speaker audio system, memory seats, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and a full suite of safety technologies including Lane Change Warning (LCW) and Door Open Warning (DOW). Colour options include Star Black, Khaki White, Phantom Grey, Tech Grey, and Aurora Green.
“After the positive reception of the JETOUR Dashing, the VT9 represents the next chapter in our journey in Malaysia. It reflects our vision for SUVs that go beyond transportation — delivering smart mobility, elevated design, and rich experiences,” Mr. Fu added.
JETOUR entered the Malaysian market in 2024 and has rapidly expanded its presence, with over 15 sales and service centres currently in operation. Looking ahead, the company aims to deepen localisation efforts, explore strategic partnerships, and introduce more future-ready vehicles tailored to Malaysian consumers.
