JETOUR Automotive made a grand statement at their press conference by highlighting their "Travel+" series of products, with the spotlight on their hybrid electric T-series lineup. The series is specifically crafted for off-road enthusiasts, including the flagship A+ class T1 plug-in hybrid SUV, which is expected to make a grand entry in 2024. It is equipped with a 1.5TGDI engine that's been fine-tuned for hybrid applications. The T2 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), an innovative travel-oriented hybrid SUV designed for off-road adventures, plans to make its international debut in the fourth quarter. It features a substantial battery capacity for on-the-go charging, enhanced safety features, and efficient performance across all speed ranges, ensuring quick acceleration, stable cruising, and fuel savings for daily commuters.

In addition, the T2 model, a leader in China's light off-road vehicle market segment, is set to conquer the Middle East market in early 2024. In response to market demands, JETOUR is set to release an extended seven-seater version of the T2, as well as a specially modified four-wheel-drive version, aiming to provide an enhanced off-road experience and convenience.
JETOUR is also set to expand its innovative product lineup with the introduction of the T7, a vehicle that redefines the boundaries between land and water travel. "Looking ahead, JETOUR is poised to revolutionize the concept of travel with our upcoming T7 model, capable of navigating waters as easily as it cruises on land," Dai announced. "This extraordinary vehicle will not only take on challenging terrains but will also have the ability to sail for up to 40 minutes, offering an unparalleled travel experience."
In alignment with global market trends and consumer preferences, JETOUR is also charting its course in the international arena with a strategic approach to technology adoption.
