Chery mid-size off-road vehicle on-road testing, step by step, no hurry, competition tank 300 is a surprise

The main track of the domestic automobile consumption market is constantly changing, and most manufacturers always focus on traditional sedans and urban SUVs. These products are easy to exert volume, but the competition is also very fierce, and it can even be said to be white-hot. Some niche fields that are not very popular have great potential, such as MPVs and pickup trucks have been rising in recent years, and hard-core off-road vehicles have become a must-fight place for big manufacturers. The independent brand of Great Wall Tank is enough to let other manufacturers feel the future of off-road vehicles. BYD simply established the Yangwang brand to create off-road products, and Chery Jetour has also dug up the former Porsche design master to create a Jetour T-1.

In fact, this car was unveiled in early 2022, but it was displayed as a concept car at that time, codenamed Chery Jetourt tx. Recently, the test models that are close to the mass production version have entered the road test stage. The first batch of Jietu T-1s covered with camouflage clothing frequently appear on the streets of Wuhu, Anhui. You can feel that the overall shape of the mass production version and the concept version are not much different.

At present, the only thing that can be determined is that the positioning of the Chery Jetour T-1 is a medium-sized SUV. The specific length, width and height wheelbase dimensions have not been announced yet, but after the approximate range is determined, it can be expected that the total body length will exceed 4.8 meters and the wheelbase is expected to be more than 2.8 meters. Moreover, after the launch, it is likely to be launched to distinguish between the short-axis version and the long-axis version, and finally form two seat layouts of 5-seat and 7-seat, adapting to general consumers and second-child families.

styling style is a bit similar to Land Rover Defender . It is undeniable that the designers dug from Porsche are quite high-level. The front face is square and provides round retro headlights. The side of the car body is clear, the roof and waistline are very straight. With the suspended roof effect and the full-size off-road schoolbag spare tire at the rear, the hard-core feeling is about to come out.

From the designer's manuscript, it can be seen that the interior also has to take the hard-core route. The entire center console surface line is relatively tough, not the round smell of Tank 300. For example, the air conditioner outlet is vertical striped, the steering wheel is composed of polygons, and the audio panel is also polygons. There is no need to worry about the technological atmosphere. We will definitely provide a suspended navigation and entertainment car system similar to BYD. There is also a separate digital LCD instrument in front of the driver.

According to the product plan of Chery Jietu brand, this hard-core off-road model T-1 will be launched on the market in the second half of 2023 at the earliest. Compared with the pace of Great Wall Tank Off-road Brand or Beijing Off-road Family, Chery Jetu seems to be a little slower, but you can't be anxious as you follow the steps. After all, the hard-core off-road field is a relatively unfamiliar field for Chery, especially power matching and chassis suspension adjustment require slow work and careful work.

actually depends on technical strength. Nowadays, Chery Automobile can produce high-performance engines among the best in the domestic field. This Jetour T-1 is likely to be directly equipped with Chery's independently developed 400T version engine. The 2.0T displacement maximum output power is 261 horsepower and the peak torque is 400 Nm. Both important parameters are stronger than the tank 300. Therefore, after mass production and launch, as long as the price is reasonable, it is possible to compete for the tank 300.
