Jetour announces new model launches at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show

The 2024 Beijing Auto Show saw Chinese carmaker Jetour announce its plans to solidify its vision of ‘Travel+’ series of off-road-centric hybrid vehicles and collaborative strategies. The ‘Travel+’ range of vehicles already boasts T1 and T2 plug-in hybrid SUVs with 2024 slated to witness the arrival of the T5 SUV with an enhanced chassis and a 2.0-litre engine exclusively designed to work as a hybrid setup. The announcements further hinted towards the arrival of a seven-seater iteration and a four-wheel-drive derivative of its T2 SUV courtesy of public demand soon. Jetour aims to expand its off-road-centric product series with the launch of a T7 SUV with the ability to sail for up to 40 minutes on water with the same ease as it does on land. Going forward, Jetour will continue to offer a combination of traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) models alongside advanced Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV). Reflecting on the progress made by this new automaker, Ke ChuanDeng, Vice President of JETOUR Auto said, “With ‘One World, One JETOUR’ we have laid down in our ‘Travel+’ footprints across the globe, extending our reach through 600 sales and service networks in over 50 countries and regions.”
