On April 25, at the Beijing Auto Show, Chery’s Jetour brand officially unveiled its Shanhai T1 and Shanhai T5 off-road SUVs. The T1 will launch in the fourth quarter of this year while the T5 will launch in 2025 or 2026.
According to Jetour’s product roadmap, the brand’s models fall into three major categories: urban SUV, light off-road vehicle, and hardcore off-road vehicle. Currently, among the urban SUV series models, the X70, X90, and Dasheng have been launched. Among the light off-road series models, the Traveller (T-1) ICE version and Shanhai T2 (Traveller plug-in hybrid version) have also been launched.
Shanhai T1
The Shanhai T1 is positioned as a compact SUV, adopting the classic square shape as an off-road vehicle, and has a body length of about 4.7 meters and a wheelbase of about 2.8 meters. The car also runs on 19-inch two-color five-spoke petal-shaped rims paired with all-terrain tires.
When lit up, the front face is highly recognizable with the four-point headlight group.
The powertrain may be based on Chery’s Kunpeng Super Performance Electric Hybrid C-DM system, equipped with Chery’s fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI hybrid engine. Official data shows that the car has a combined maximum power of 450 kW and comes with an XWD four-wheel drive system.
Shanhai T5
The Shanhai T5 belongs to the hardcore off-road series. Again, since it is a hard-core off-road model, it retains the iconic square box shape, thick bumpers, rugged roof racks, all-terrain tires, and a rear external spare tire.
The Shanhai T5 has a size of 5403/2050/1936 mm, and the wheelbase is 3100 mm, positioned as a medium-to-large SUV. The powertrain will be equipped with a 2.0T engine and dual electric motors. The total system power and torque will be 560 kW and 795 Nm, respectively; and the official comprehensive range is 1,400 km on a full tank and full battery.
