JSW is preparing to enter the Indian SUV market with the upcoming JSW Combat PHEV, a five-seat premium SUV expected to arrive before the end of 2026. The model is expected to combine a petrol engine with electric motors and offer an electric-only driving range of around 90 km.
The JSW Combat PHEV is expected to feature a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with two electric motors. Other highlights could include a large 15.6-inch touchscreen, premium cabin features and advanced safety technology.
JSW Combat PHEV Design and Powertrain
The upcoming Combat PHEV is expected to have a bold and boxy exterior, with styling similar to the Jetour T2. Its upright proportions and squared-off body are designed to give the SUV a rugged appearance.
The front could feature LED headlamps, while roof rails and large 20-inch alloy wheels are expected to add to its overall design. The SUV is expected to use a monocoque chassis.
The powertrain is likely to be one of the main highlights of the JSW Combat. The SUV is expected to combine a 1.5-litre turbocharged direct-injection petrol engine with two electric motors, forming a plug-in hybrid system.
The India-bound version is expected to use an 18.4kWh battery pack, which could provide around 90 km of electric-only range. The global Jetour T2 PHEV uses a three-speed dedicated hybrid transmission
