Recently, Jetour Traveller, a four-wheel drive off-road style SUV, was seen on Chinese streets. It is expected to launch later this month in July. Just like its name, the Traveller targets consumers who travel in light/normal off-road conditions; hence, this car is not suitable for driving under extreme road conditions.

Overall, the Traveller is boxy with big bumpers, wide arches, sidebars, and roof racks. In the front, the headlights are square on both sides and the honeycomb grille is blackened. The Jetour letter logo is displayed across the front grille, making it highly recognizable.

The Traveller will be available with ICE and PHEV powertrains. There will be two ICE options: a 1.6T+7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and a 2.0T+8-speed automatic gearbox. The 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 187 kW and a peak torque of 390 Nm. The PHEV version will use a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and an electric motor. Jetour claims that the PHEV version will be able to achieve more than a 1,000 km comprehensive cruising range. All versions get four-wheel drive.

The rear design is typical for an off-road SUV with a large spare wheel cover and a wide high-mounted brake light. The taillight adopts a vertical layout and uses LED lights. A tow hook is also present.

The rear door is hinged on the left side.

Furthermore, the interior has a large floating central control screen, a full LCD instrument panel, and an oval-shaped flat-bottom three-spoke steering wheel. There is a gear selector, a drive-mode selector, and wireless charging pads on the center console. The computing platform will be supported by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. Jetour Traveller will provide 5-seater and 7-seater versions. The length of the 5-seater version is about 4.8 m, and the length of the 7-seater version is about 4.95 m. Jetour has not yet disclosed the exact dimensions.
