OFFICIAL RELEASE: Jetour Auto Philippines | PUBLISHER: ADVAI
Pasay City, Philippines — JETOUR Auto Philippines (JAPI) took center stage at the 10th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS), reaffirming its commitment to the future of mobility through electrification and customer-focused mobility solutions.
Under the campaign theme “Time to Switch. Upgrade to Electric,” JETOUR highlighted its rapid global expansion, growing presence in the Philippine market, and continued investment in electrified vehicles designed to meet the evolving needs of modern motorists. As the automotive industry undergoes a transformative shift toward sustainable mobility, JETOUR emphasized its role in helping drive that change through accessible and intelligent electrified transportation.
Strong Opening Day Presence
The opening day of PIMS 2026 saw a strong show of support from the JETOUR community, led by the recent addition of brand ambassadors Ella Cruz and Julian Trono, who officially joined the JETOUR Family and graced the brand’s opening activities at the show.
Also present were celebrity couple Camille Prats Yambao and VJ Yambao, alongside long-time brand partners The Team Kramer, who reaffirmed their continued partnership with JETOUR during the event. Their presence at the Philippine International Motor Show highlights the growing community of supporters behind JETOUR individuals and families who value mobility that fits real lifestyles, not just specifications on paper. Over the years, the partnership with The Team Kramer has evolved into something more organic than a traditional brand collaboration.
It is rooted in shared values around family, travel, and everyday practicality. As a well-known family who regularly shares their real-life journeys, The Team Kramer naturally reflects how JETOUR vehicles are used in everyday situations, from city driving to long-distance family trips. This alignment has made them one of the brand’s most relatable and credible partners in demonstrating how the vehicles perform in real-world family settings. This is also why JETOUR has chosen to renew and continue the partnership. Beyond visibility, it is about consistency and trust, showing how the brand fits into the routines of modern Filipino families over time. Their continued support reinforces JETOUR’s positioning as a mobility partner for families who prioritize comfort, safety, and versatility in their daily lives and travels.
Global Momentum Driving Local Success
What began as a bold vision seven years ago has evolved into a global automotive success story. Today, JETOUR is trusted by more than 2 million owners across 91 countries and regions, supported by a worldwide network of over 2,000 sales and service facilities. The brand’s growing popularity is also reflected in its global community of more than 15 million fans, united by a passion for travel, adventure, and exploration.
In the Philippines, JETOUR continues to gain momentum, earning a place among the Top 3 Chinese SUV brands in the country. This achievement reflects the increasing confidence of Filipino customers in the brand’s products, technology, and after-sales support. This continued growth in the Philippines is driven and supported by UAAGI Auto Group, which plays a key role in strengthening JETOUR’s local operations, dealer network development, and customer experience initiatives. Through this partnership, JETOUR continues to expand its footprint while ensuring that its mobility solutions remain aligned with the needs of Filipino motorists.
Leading the Shift Toward Electrified Mobility
One of JETOUR’s most significant achievements came in the first quarter of 2026, when the brand emerged as one of the country’s leading Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) brands, underscoring the growing acceptance of electrified mobility among Filipino consumers. At PIMS, JETOUR reinforced this leadership by showcasing the expansion of its Lightning i-DM lineup.
Building on the success of the X70 Lightning i-DM and T2 Lightning i-DM, the company introduced the T1 Lightning i-DM, further broadening its range of electrified mobility solutions. The expanded lineup demonstrates JETOUR’s commitment to making advanced hybrid technology more accessible to Filipino drivers while delivering the performance, versatility, and efficiency that modern lifestyles demand.
According to Mr. Miguelito Jose, Managing Director of JETOUR Auto Philippines Corp., the brand’s direction remains centered on making electrified mobility more accessible to Filipino customers: “What we are seeing at PIMS is a clear shift in how Filipinos view mobility. It’s no longer just about getting from point A to B, it is about efficiency, sustainability, and experience. With our expanding Lightning i-DM lineup, we’re giving customers more practical choices without compromising performance or design.”
