Jetour is renaming its Traveler 7 SUV to the T2 Ultra for all international markets following its October 2026 debut at the Chery International User Summit. The new model is set to replace the existing T2 vehicle in export regions.
Why it matters
The transition to the T2 Ultra signifies Jetour's intent to streamline its global branding and interior design across international territories. This strategy focuses on providing a uniform vehicle experience for overseas customers.
The T2 Ultra measures 4,785mm in length and 2,006mm in width, supported by a 2,800mm wheelbase. Its technology suite includes a 15.6-inch infotainment system paired with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
The players
Jetour

The details
The T2 Ultra features a redesigned centre console that replaces the previous aircraft-style gear lever with toggle switches, moving the gear selector to the steering column. Jetour offers multiple powertrain options, including a 2.0 T-GDI engine producing 187kW and 390Nm, and a flagship plug-in hybrid model with three electric motors.
