Jetour revealed the T-X, a rugged off-roader with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The model is still in concept form but it previews the TX series of production SUVs that will follow in the future. Design-wise the Jetour T-X is borrowing elements from popular off-roaders like the Ford Bronco (front end) and the Land Rover Defender. It comes with illuminated Jetour lettering on the grille, LED headlights, boxy fenders, blacked-out pillars, and A/T tires. The yellow accents and the roof rack with integrated LEDs enhance the concept’s adventurous style.
Judging from the black windows, the Jetour
X-T was likely a static full-scale prototype built for show purposes which
means it doesn’t have an interior or a powertrain. However, Jetour said that
the X-T is based on the brand new Kunlun architecture developed by Chery, using
the “Kunpeng” plug-in hybrid powertrain. This will allegedly allow a combined
range of 1,000 km and average fuel consumption of just 1.0 lt/100km
(235 mpg). The concept is also featuring adaptive suspension and an
all-wheel-drive system with a differential lock.
If the X-T evolves into a production model
then it will fit in Jetour’s upcoming T series of models which will have a
price range between ¥ 150,000-300,000 (US$ 23,586-47,172) starting from 2023.
Jetour is a sub-brand of the Chery Holding group that was founded in 2018 and
is now selling more than 150,000 units per year. The Chinese company, which is
also represented in other markets outside China, will be launching one or two
new models every year in the SUV, pickup, and MPV segments.
