Hosted by renowned automotive personality James Deakin, the event gathered nearly 400 esteemed guests, including top executives, dealer partners, brand ambassadors, media representatives, and the first batch of JETOUR T1 Lightning i-DM owners. The day began with an exclusive press conference, where JETOUR leaders Ke Chuandeng, Rommel Sytin, and Miguelito Joseshared the brand’s vision of making intelligent mobility accessible to every Filipino.

Guests were also treated to a test-drive experience at Okada Manila’s Boardwalk, allowing them to witness firsthand the T1 Lightning i-DM’s hybrid performance and refined driving dynamics.

The highlight of the night was the dramatic unveiling of the JETOUR T1 Lightning i-DM, led by Managing Director Miguelito Jose, who introduced the model’s groundbreaking features. Powered by a 1.5L gasoline engine and a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Electric Motor, the SUV produces a combined output of 150 kW and 310 Nm of torque, supported by a DHT Hybrid-Dedicated Gearbox and a 26.7 kWh battery capable of fast DC charging. Inside, it offers a luxurious tech-driven cabin with a 15.6-inch touchscreen, adaptive ventilation, and advanced comfort features that redefine the hybrid SUV segment.

Adding a modern lifestyle touch, James Deakin also introduced the JETOUR ACTIVLife Smartwatch, a wearable device designed to connect seamlessly with the T1 Lightning i-DM, enabling smart controls such as remote engine start, keyless entry, and window operation.
