JETOUR Auto Philippines successfully hosted the JETOUR T1 Lightning i-DM Media Drive on November 25–26, 2025, offering members of the motoring press an exclusive opportunity to experience the brand’s advanced Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) technology.
The two-day drive brought participants from the flagship JETOUR Auto Quezon Avenue showroom to ACEA Subic Beach Resort, with a scenic stopover and luncheon at Rali’s Restaurant, setting the stage for an immersive and hands-on exploration of the T1 Lightning i-DM’s real-world performance.
Set against the relaxing coastal backdrop of Subic, the program highlighted the advantages of JETOUR’s next-generation electrified lineup—underscoring why the JETOUR T1 Lightning i-DM is engineered as a smarter, cleaner, and more efficient alternative to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

With a pure electric driving range of up to 120 km and a total combined range of up to 1,200 km, the T1 Lightning i-DM delivers meaningful fuel savings, flexible long-distance capability, and a reduced carbon footprint—while maintaining the practicality needed for daily use.

JETOUR Auto Philippines also emphasized the exceptional value offered by the T1 Lightning i-DM. Customers will benefit from very competitive pricing versus standard ICE vehicles, allowing them to enjoy more value without compromising on performance, comfort, or technology.
“We are truly proud to introduce the T1 Lightning i-DM to the Philippine market.” said Mr. Miguelito Jose, Managing Director of JETOUR Auto Philippines. “This model represents our commitment to making advanced electrified mobility more accessible to Filipino families. With its intelligent hybrid technology, exceptional efficiency, and highly competitive pricing, the T1 Lightning i-DM delivers unmatched value without compromising performance, comfort, or innovation. Our goal is to empower more drivers to transition to smarter and more sustainable mobility and the T1 Lightning i-DM is a major step toward that future.”

This ensures more Filipino drivers can experience next-generation PHEV mobility at an unmatched value.
