Jetour Traveller 7 C-DM images released. Mid-size boxy SUV at 4,827mm length, 2,800mm wheelbase, 5/7-seat layouts, 1.5T PHEV with 1,300km+ range. Gasoline versions also planned.
Exterior Design Fully Revamped
On August 12, Chery Executive Vice President Li Xueyong officially released the Jetour Traveller 7 C-DM official images. This mid-size boxy SUV retains its rugged off-road DNA while adopting a more simplified and modern overall design. The front fascia features a new full-width light bar paired with circular LED daytime running lights, with the brand letter logo repositioned above the grille. The bottom retains a robust front bumper, significantly improving overall aesthetics.
The side profile continues the classic boxy shape, with A/B/C/D pillars blacked out to create a floating roof visual effect. The vehicle rides on new 19-inch five-spoke sport wheels with 255/60 R19 tires, complemented by roof rails and a panoramic sunroof. The rear retains the iconic "spare tire" external mount and side-hinged tailgate typical of rugged SUVs.

- Blacked-out A/B/C/D pillars for floating roof effect

- Reference: motor maximum power 165kW
- System combined power 280kW, combined torque 610 N·m
- 3-speed DHT transmission
- Two battery options: 27.2kWh and 43.24kWh

Beyond the PHEV version, gasoline variants with 1.5T and 2.0T engines will also be offered. The current Traveller C-DM is priced between 159,900 and 239,900 yuan, and the Traveller 7's pricing strategy is expected to remain in a similar range.
Market Positioning and Competitive Analysis
Jetour Traveller 7 C-DM targets the 150K-250K yuan mid-size SUV market with its rugged boxy design + new energy powertrain combination. Key competitors include:
- Tank 300: Similar rugged boxy style, but Traveller 7 leads in PHEV technology
- Haval Raptor: Similar price range, but Traveller 7 offers larger dimensions and space
- BYD Song PLUS DM-i: Mature NEV technology, but Traveller 7's rugged off-road character stands out
The Traveller 7's core competitive advantage lies in the triple combination of rugged styling + PHEV powertrain + 7-seat layout, creating differentiated competitiveness in its price segment.
