Jetour, a Chery Group subsidiary, plans to launch seven models in South Africa by 2026-2027, including two Shanhai sub-brand vehicles rebadged as Jetour:
Jetour T5 (2026):
Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) SUV with 2.0L turbo engine + dual electric motors (claimed 560kW/795Nm).
Targets adventure SUV segment, rivaling Nissan Patrol/Toyota LC300.
5,400mm length; pre-production model showcased in Beijing (2024).
Jetour P5 (2027):
Mid-size PHEV pickup to compete with Ford Ranger/Toyota Hilux.
Specs unconfirmed, but design cues likely from Zongheng F700 concept.
Additional Notes:
Jetour may rebadge Shanhai models (T5, P5) under its own brand, mirroring Omoda’s strategy with the C9.
Shanhai’s L6 PHEV (based on Dashing SUV) could become SA’s most affordable PHEV (est. R600k-R800k vs. BMW X1 30e’s R1.05M).
Other Jetour models (T0, T1, T2) will use non-hybrid turbo-petrol engines.
