On October 27, the Jietu Shanhai T1 officially launched. Its price ranges from 154,800 to 174,800 yuan (24530$). The trade-in price is 122,800 to 142,800 yuan (20040$). The car maintains the “boxy” design. It targets the compact plug-in hybrid SUV market. Compared to the Shanhai T2, the overall size remains similar. Only minor detail changes occur. A four-wheel drive version will be available.
The new car features a family-style design. The headlights adopt a clover shape. The inwardly recessed daytime running lights enhance the three-dimensional and technological feel of the headlights. Compared to the T2 model, the Shanhai T1 replaces the original logo on the grille with a continuous light strip. This change improves the vehicle’s recognition.
The new car measures 4706x1967x1845mm. Its wheelbase is 2810mm. It is classified as a compact plug-in hybrid SUV. The side design emphasizes off-road attributes. The black paint on the front and rear wheel arches and door trim enhances this look. The front and rear bumpers connect seamlessly. Additionally, the new car includes side steps for easier access.
The new car features petal-shaped 19-inch wheels. It looks very stylish. The wheels pair with 235/60 R19 tires. This combination ensures comfort and off-road capability. The car does not use hidden door handles. It comes with a complete roof rack.
The rear design shows depth. It removes the “small backpack” from the Mountain Sea T2. It uses the same taillights as the front headlights. Two black decorative strips connect them. This enhances the rear’s recognition. It also boosts the tech feel and youthful elements.
The interior design reflects the car’s elegance and stability. It retains some physical buttons, but most functions integrate into the 15.6-inch floating central touchscreen. This screen features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 automotive-grade chip. The processing speed is very fast, and the UI layout is more logical.
This screen supports online navigation, online entertainment, phone connectivity, voice interaction, and OTA upgrades. The voice interaction recognition rate, processing speed, and capability are impressive. Below the screen, it retains traditional air conditioning buttons. Using these buttons is very convenient.
The new car will use a fully digital dashboard. It will display driving information clearly. The flat-bottom steering wheel feels great. The multifunction buttons are physical. This design minimizes accidental presses. Once familiar, drivers can operate them without looking.
The car retains the electronic gear lever design in the center console. It features a stylish crystal design. This design excels in aesthetics and tactile feel. Behind the gear lever, a knob allows the driver to select from four driving modes. These modes meet our daily usage needs.
The seats in this car are quite comfortable. The front seats offer good support, firmness, and comfort. I am very satisfied with them. The rear seats also perform well. They provide ample legroom and headroom. There is no feeling of confinement. The angle of the second-row seatbacks is more ergonomic.
The Jietu Shanhai T1 features Chery’s Kunpeng super hybrid C-DM technology. It uses a 1.5T hybrid engine with a maximum power of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 220 N·m. The two-wheel drive model has a single motor, delivering 150 kW and 310 N·m. The four-wheel drive model includes dual motors, producing 320 kW and 620 N·m. In summary, the Jietu Shanhai T1 targets urban, young, and fashionable consumers. It may lack the wildness of the T2, but its refined design enhances its unique attributes. The overall configuration remains competitive, and the distinctive appearance stands out. The four-wheel drive variant offers consumers more choices.
