Jetour Traveler 7 tipped to become T2 Ultra in export markets
Unlike in China, the export market T2 Ultra is expected to replace the current T2 instead of being sold alongside it in a dual-model capacity.
Following its on-sale in China last month, a new report suggests that the Jetour Traveller 7 will be designated as the T2 Ultra in export markets, rather than becoming the T2 as previously speculated. The T2 Ultra will be launched alongside the existing Traveler model in its home market. At the Chery International User Summit in Wuhu, the T2 Ultra was unveiled for international markets, with the T2 Ultra expected to eventually replace the Traveler in export markets.
The T2 Ultra's domestic release is likely to take place in 2028, as production is currently limited to left-hand drive vehicles. However, a right-hand drive version may debut next year, with distribution spanning key right-hooking nations throughout 2027 and into 2028. The Traveller 7/T2 Ultra features a restyled exterior and retains most of the previous physical buttons inside.
However, it loses the aircraft-style gear lever and replaces it with toggle switches on the redesigned centre console. The interior has been extensively revised, featuring the X-Mode off-road selector dial, new cupholders, a 15.6-inch infotainment system, steering wheel, dashboard, door handles, electric window and mirror switches on door cards, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
Underneath the hood, the Traveller 7 retains the same combustion engine options as the T2, including the 1.5 T-GDI producing 135kW/290Nm and the 2.0 T-GDI that generates 187kW/390Nm. Transmission options include a seven-speed dual-clutch or an eight-speed automatic, with the latter option offering the XWD four-wheel drive system.
The rear-end styling of the Traveller 7 has received subtle changes, with the Traveler 7 badge indicating the C-DM model. This model comes with two plug-in hybrid powertrains, both based on the 1.5 T-GDI engine reduced to 115kW/220Nm for the base model and 115kW/220Nm for the tri-motor version with three electric motors. The tri-motor offers an all-electric range of 108km and 173km, respectively, and has a reported output of 575kW/835Nm and all-wheel drive.
