JSW Combat SUV to Debut in India on December 4 with Plug-in Hybrid Technology

JSW Motors has confirmed the launch date for its inaugural vehicle in the Indian market, the Combat SUV. The company is establishing itself as an independent automotive brand with its first model slated to be the Combat plug-in hybrid SUV. The Combat PHEV will be introduced in India on December 4th 2026.

The Combat SUV is expected to enter the Indian market via the CBU (Completely Built Unit) route. This SUV is based on the Jetour T2, a rugged SUV produced by China’s Chery Automobile. While the global version of the Jetour T2 has recently undergone a facelift, industry reports suggest that the Indian-spec Combat will likely be based on the pre-facelift iteration of the vehicle.

The JSW Combat is characterized by a boxy silhouette and an imposing road presence. In terms of dimensions, the underlying platform measures 4,785 mm in length, 2,006 mm in width, and 1,880 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,800 mm. The vehicle offers a ground clearance of 220 mm, a five-seat configuration, and a cargo capacity of 752 liters. Exterior branding adjustments are expected, with the Combat nameplate likely replacing the Jetour badging on the front fascia.
