Jetour opens spec sheet of already priced T1

Having divulged pricing at the end of last month, Jetour has now released complete specification details of the all-new T1.

Four models, two powertrains

Positioned above the Dashing and X70 Plus, but below the T2, the T1 comes in four trim levels; Edge, Aspire, Xplora and Odyssey, with the former pair being front-wheel drive and the latter equipped with the XWD all-wheel-drive system.

Up front, the Chery-owned brand has availed two engine options; the same 1.5 T-GDI as in the Dashing and X70 Plus for the Edge and Aspire and the 2.0 T-GDI from the outgoing Tiggo 8 Pro Max for the Xplora and Odyssey.

Both units are mated to seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions.
