Overview
editThe Traveller was introduced in February 2023 in China.[2] Pre-sales were opened in August 2023, and the price was announced in China the following month.[3][4]
The Traveller was designed under the guidance of former Porsche designer, Hakan Saracoglu. It is based on Jetour's Kunlun architecture. Designed with mild off-road capabilities, the Traveller has an approach angle of 28 degrees, a departure angle of 30 degrees, a ground clearance of 220 mm (8.7 in), and a claimed wading depth of 700 mm (27.6 in). It is equipped with a BorgWarner torque manager and electronic limited-slip differential, which allows the vehicle switch between different modes according to the conditions. The vehicle uses MacPherson struts for the front suspension and multi-link suspension for the rear.[5]
Available powertrain options include a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 7-speed dual clutch transmission with two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, a four-wheel drive 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 7-speed dual clutch, and a four-wheel drive 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 8-speed automatic torque converter. A plug-in hybrid version called the Traveller C-DM was announced, but delayed, according to Jetour general manager Li Xueyong.[6]
The Traveller is equipped with a 15.6-inch central infotainment screen with a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 system on a chip, a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel, and a 64-inch panoramic sunroof.[4] It is also available with front soundproof glass, 128-color ambient lights, 10 airbags, and a 12-speaker Sony audio system.[3]
The Silver Dragon Wings (Chinese: 银龙之翼; pinyin: Yín lóng zhī yì) trim level, marketed under the Jetour JMK (Jetour Makers Kingdom) modification sub-brand went on sale in China in January 2024. It is equipped with a raised bonnet, a new grille and front bumper design, roof luggage racks, and all-terrain tires.[7][8]
Jetour also plans to release an extended-length, three-row version of the Traveller in mid-2024.[6]
