Chinese brand Jetour will appear in Russia

Chery's sub-brand Jetour spoke about its development strategy called "Travel +", in which the brand plans to enter foreign markets, including Russia and Kazakhstan. As the Chinese Automobiles portal writes, in the near future the Jetour brand will develop its model line according to the "4 + 3 + N" scheme. It will be based on four crossovers, three SUVs and hybrid cars.

The first group will be represented by four cars: two of them are already on the market - these are the Jetour X70 and X90, which will dilute the Jetour Dasheng (X-1) and Jetour X-2 model line. Recall that Dasheng should enter the market in the third quarter of 2022. Its gasoline version will be equipped with Chery units of 1.5 and 1.6 liters. The hybrid version will appear later and will be represented by the Kungpeng e + installation from Chery. Almost nothing is known about the model under the symbol X-2, it should enter the market in 2023.

The second group will be represented by SUVs and not only. At first, we are talking about three cars under the code names T1, T2 and T3. The Jetour T1 is based on the previously shown T-X concept SUV. It will acquire a frame structure, an adaptive suspension and a power plant based on 1.6- and 2-liter Chery engines. The novelty will appear in the Chinese market in 2023, its main competitors will be representatives of the Tank brand. But other models will have to wait longer. According to the presentation of Jetour, later the same group will include two pickups (P2, P3) and a pair of minivans (V2, V3).

The number of upcoming Jetour hybrids has not been specified, nor is their debut date. It is known that "mixed" versions should receive the Dasheng and T1 models. However, by 2024, Jetour plans to become a "fully green" brand.

By 2026, Jetour expects to sell 1 million vehicles annually, also in export markets. This brand is already represented in many countries in South America and Africa. And in 2023, the brand plans to enter the markets of 60 countries and achieve export values of 200 thousand cars. Future markets for Jetour include Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Russia and Kazakhstan. What kind of models may appear in our country is still unknown.
