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.”

New-Gen Bentley Continental GT Debuts Next Month

It’s been only a few days since Bentley confirmed a few juicy details about what will replace its iconic W12. The Brits have now confirmed the new powertrain’s first project – the fourth-generation Bentley Continental GT. And it isn’t far from shedding its cover, as you can see here. In fact, we’ll get to see it in full next month.

As you’d expect, not much has been unveiled as of now. But we know the “Ultra Performance Hybrid” powerplant will deliver a whopping 782ps of power and a mammoth peak torque of 1,000Nm. Courtesy of the electric motor and a battery to back it up, the new-gen Continental GT will also be capable of travelling 80km with zero local emissions. Another astonishing figure for the brand is a WLTP-certified CO2 figure of less than 50 g/km.

Backing up the new powertrain and its massive power reserves will be an active all-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring, four-wheel steering, an electronic limited-slip differential, 48V electric active anti-roll control and new dual-valve dampers. Of course, new design and a variety of modern-day creature comforts will also play their part. Put all those facts together, and the takeaway is this: the new-gen Bentley Continental GT will be the most powerful, dynamically capable and sustainable luxury grand tourer in the company’s history.

Exciting times ahead!
