The Jetour T1 is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Jetour since 2024. In China, it is marketed under two names, the Jetour Freedom (Chinese: 捷途自由者; pinyin: Jiétú Zìyóuzhě) and the Jetour Shanhai T1 (Chinese: 山海T1; lit. 'Mountain sea T1') for the plug-in hybrid version.

Overview

The Jetour Shanhai T1 was shown at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show. and was first introduced on 27 October 2024 in China as a plug-in hybrid only model. Later in February 2025, a non-hybrid petrol engine version went on sale in China as the Jetour Freedom.

The Freedom was designed with mild off-road capabilities with an approach angle of 28 degrees, a departure angle of 29 degrees, a minimum ground clearance of 200 mm (7.9 in), and a claimed wading depth of 700 mm (27.6 in).

The Freedom is equipped with a 12.8 or 15.6-inch central infotainment screen with a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 system on a chip, and a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel.

Jetour Freedom 7

On 4 November 2026 the Chery launched as the Jetour Freedom 7 (Chinese: 捷途自由者7; pinyin: Jiétú zìyóuzhě 7) in China, which is similar to the original petrol-powered Freedom but has a 10 mm (0.4 in) shorter wheelbase of 2,800 mm (110.2 in) and 55 mm (2.2 in) shorter overall length of 4,651 mm (183.1 in). It shares its overall styling and front-wheel drive 1.5-liter petrol powertrain with the Freedom, but Chery says it is positioned to better meet the needs of urban commuters, while the original Freedom is now marketed as the Freedom 7 Plus and is intended to target those with off-road needs and is available exclusively with the 2.0-liter four-wheel drive powertrain. The Freedom 7 Plus C-DM launched the same day is identical to the Shanhai T1 but is only available with the front-wheel drive powertrain.

Powertrain

Plug-in hybrid

The Shanhai T1 plug-in hybrid powertrain consists of a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine codenamed SQRH4J15 outputting 141 hp (105 kW; 143 PS) net and 220 N⋅m (162 lb⋅ft; 22 kg⋅m) of torque paired with a 1-speed series-parallel dedicated hybrid transmission initially available exclusively in front-wheel drive, along with a 150 kW (204 PS; 201 hp) front motor codenamed KPTZ220YMDA0 and 26.7 kWh LFP battery pack, which provides 117 km (73 mi) WLTP electric range rating and can recharge from 30–80% in 30 minutes at a peak charge rate of 41 kW.

In May 2025, two new front-wheel drive variants were added using the same engine and motors but with different battery packs. A smaller 18.3 kWh pack supplied by Gotion offers 76 kilometres (47 mi) of WLTP electric range and can also recharge from 30–80% in 30 minutes at a peak charge rate of 41 kW. The larger 43.2 kWh LFP pack supplied by CATL provides 175 kilometres (109 mi) of electric range and can recharge from 30–80% in 37 minutes at a peak charge rate of 41 kW.

The all-wheel-drive version was also launched in May 2025 and consists of the same engine and front motor but adds a 175 kW (238 PS; 235 hp) motor codenamed TZ190XYCY2 to drive the rear axle, for a combined output of 577 hp (430 kW; 585 PS). It uses either a slightly larger 27.2 kWh battery with the WLTP electric-only range of 115 kilometres (71 mi) or the same 43.2 kWh battery for 170 kilometres (106 mi) of electric range.

In June 2026, the all-wheel drive variants were updated to use a more powerful 190 kW (258 PS; 255 hp) rear motor codenamed TZ190XY3L1, for a new total output of 597 horsepower (445 kW; 605 PS).

In November 2026, the Jetour Freedom 7 Plus C-DM launched with a near identical powertrain as the front-wheel drive Shanhai T1, but it uses a 26.6 kWh LFP battery pack supplied by Chery-backed Anhui Deyi. Like the Shanhai T1's battery pack, it provides a WLTP electric range rating of and can recharge from 30–80% in 30 minutes at a peak charge rate of 41 kW.
