- The BYD Seal U and Jetour T2 plug-in hybrid SUVs will launch in India this year
- Both SUVs combine petrol engines with electric motors for hybrid driving capability
- Jetour T2 claims fuel efficiency of up to 139 km in plug-in hybrid testing cycles
The Indian SUV market is preparing to welcome two highly anticipated plug-in hybrid SUVs, the BYD Seal U and the Jetour T2. Both models are expected to arrive in India later this year and promise a combination of strong performance, long driving range, and impressive fuel efficiency. But when it comes to mileage, which SUV has the upper hand? Let's take a closer look.
BYD Seal U Vs Jetour T2: Hybrid Technology Explained
Both the BYD Seal U and Jetour T2 use plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology. This setup combines a petrol engine with an electric motor and battery pack, allowing the SUVs to run on electric power for short distances while also offering the convenience of a conventional engine for longer trips.

Jetour T2: Mileage Figures
Based on international specifications, the SUV is claimed to deliver fuel efficiency figures of up to 139 km under certain testing conditions. However, these figures are measured using a plug-in hybrid testing cycle and include electric driving assistance. Talking about the combined range, the JSW Jetour T2 offers up to 1,000 km.

BYD Seal U: Mileage Figures
The BYD Seal U is also expected to be a strong performer in terms of fuel economy. International figures suggest a claimed mileage of around 20.8 kmpl. The BYD Seal U pairs a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor and an 18.3 kWh battery pack.

One of the biggest highlights of the BYD Seal U is its claimed combined driving range of up to 1,080 km. It can also travel over 70 km in pure electric mode, helping reduce fuel consumption during daily commutes.

JSW Jetour T2 Vs BYD Seal U: Which One Offers Better Mileage?
On paper, the Jetour T2 seems to offer higher efficiency figures than the BYD Seal U, based on the electric-only range. However, both SUVs use different testing standards, making direct comparisons difficult. The BYD Seal U and Jetour T2 are expected to deliver excellent mileage for their size, but the real winner will only be clear once both models are officially launched and independently tested on Indian roads.
