On May 24, 2025, Jetour Auto officially launched the Traveler Extended Edition in Guiyang and simultaneously kicked off a full-scenario test drive event. As the flagship product of the Jetour brand's "Travel+" strategy, the new car offers a new solution for family travel and off-road adventures with its class-leading dimensions of a 5034mm body length and 2800mm wheelbase, a standard 2.0TD+8AT golden powertrain combination across the lineup, and the XWD fully automatic intelligent four-wheel-drive system. This launch introduced two configurations, the 2.0TD XWD 7-seat Conquer (179,900 yuan) and Conquer+ (189,900 yuan), meeting diverse vehicle-use needs with all-around capability that is "good for the city and the wild."
Configuration and Price: The Only XWD Four-Wheel-Drive 7-Seat SUV in the 180,000-yuan Class
The new car enters the market with a starting price of 179,900 yuan, with core features standard across the lineup including XWD fully automatic intelligent four-wheel drive, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, and a 540° panoramic camera:
Conquer Edition (179,900 yuan): Equipped with L2-level driver assistance, a panoramic sunroof, an electric tailgate, and an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat, offering overwhelming value for money compared with the same class.
Conquer+ Edition (189,900 yuan): Adds front-seat ventilation/heating, a 12-speaker SONY audio system, and a streaming media rearview mirror, with optional electromagnetic induction suspension, taking off-road comfort to the next level.
Powertrain: 2.0TD+8AT Golden Combination Backed by Turbocharged Intercooling Technology
The entire lineup is equipped with Chery Kunpeng's 2.0TD turbocharged engine, matched with a self-developed 8AT transmission and adopting turbocharged intercooling technology, with a maximum power of 187kW, peak torque of 390N·m, and mechanical efficiency of 96%, delivering power output comparable to mainstream 2.5T engines:
Fuel Consumption: WLTC combined fuel consumption is 9.83L/100km, measured urban congested conditions are around 12L/100km, and highway cruising can drop to 9L/100km. Compared with fuel SUVs of the same size, fuel consumption control is acceptable, but the gap with hybrid models is obvious;
Off-road Scenarios: In low-speed four-wheel-drive mode, torque is amplified by 2.48 times, and together with the XWD system's millisecond-level torque distribution, escaping muddy sections is effortless.
Intelligent Configuration: Empowered by the 8155 Chip for Full-Scenario Smart Travel
The 15.6-inch central control screen is equipped with the Qualcomm 8155 chip, with computing power reaching 3.6 million operations per second, supporting a full-scenario intelligent experience:
All-terrain透视 technology: Supported by 17 sensors (5 cameras + 3 millimeter-wave radars + 8 ultrasonic radars), functions such as full-speed-range ACC, lane centering, and automatic parking perform stably in highway scenarios, with delicate following-distance control and no frequent hard braking;
Off-road expert mode: Provides 8 modes including Sport/Eco/Standard/Snow/Mud/Sand/Rock/X Smart mode, automatically adjusting power output and ESP intervention logic;
Camping ecosystem: Supports vehicle-system control of external discharge (maximum 6.6kW), drone tracking shots, and intelligent opening/closing of windows/sunroof, creating a "mobile camping base."
During the test drive, media measurements found that its external discharge function can simultaneously drive an electric grill and a projector, and together with a roof tent fixed to the roof rack, it perfectly replicates a "refined camping" scenario.
Application Scenario Examples: Seamless Switching from Urban to Outdoor
Scenario 1: Long-distance family road trip
The total route from Guiyang to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is about 210km. The seven-seat layout meets the needs of a two-child family, with a second-row child safety seat coexisting harmoniously with adult passengers in the third row; the 8AT transmission runs at 1800rpm during cruising, with highway fuel consumption of 9.2L/100km.
Scenario 2: Light off-road adventure
At the Kaiyang Hou'er Tiankeng scenic area, the XWD four-wheel-drive system drives in "Rock Mode," distributing 70% of power to the rear axle, and together with 220mm ground clearance, easily crosses 40cm-deep gullies; the HDC hill descent control function allows even beginners to handle downhill sections with ease.
Scenario 3: Outdoor camping base
With the third-row seats folded down, a completely flat space is formed, and with a custom inflatable mattress it can sleep two people; the 220V external discharge interface supports simultaneous operation of an induction cooker and a coffee machine, and together with a roof tent, creates a "five-star outdoor bedroom."
Test Drive Summary: A Strong Contender in the 180,000-yuan Class Four-Wheel-Drive 7-Seat SUV Segment
With a starting price of 179,900 yuan, the Jetour Traveler Extended Edition offers three core features—XWD fully automatic four-wheel drive, a 2800mm wheelbase, and an 8AT transmission—redefining the value standard for mid-size SUVs. It does not simply pursue extreme off-roading, but rather, through a precise balance of space, power, and intelligence, covers full-scenario needs such as urban commuting, family outings, and short-distance adventures. In a market surrounded by strong rivals such as the Exeed VX and Haval H9, this "new seven-seat off-road choice" may become a breakthrough player in the segment.
