When dealers contact us about Jetour for the first time, the first question is almost always: "Which model should I actually bring in?" Not an unreasonable question. Jetour currently runs four actively exported model lines, and picking the wrong one for your market can mean slow inventory turns and frustrated customers.
This guide covers the four main export-ready Jetour models for 2026 - T2, Shanhai T1, X70 Plus, and Zongheng G700 - with honest assessments of where each one fits and where it does not.
The Complete 2026 Jetour Export Lineup at a Glance
| Model | Seats | Powertrain | FOB Price (approx.) | Best Market Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jetour T2 C-DM | 5 / 7 | PHEV (1.5T + Electric) | $26,500 | Middle East, East Africa, Europe |
| Jetour Shanhai T1 | 5 | PHEV (1.5T + Electric) | $21,800 | West Africa, rough terrain markets |
| Jetour X70 Plus | 5 / 7 | Gasoline (1.5T) | $22,500 | Saudi Arabia, UAE, Southeast Asia |
| Jetour Zongheng G700 | 5 | Gasoline / Diesel | $26,500 | Gulf fleet buyers, luxury off-road |
Jetour T2 C-DM 2026 - The Flagship Hybrid
From $26,500 FOB Shanghai
The T2 is the model Jetour is betting its global reputation on. The C-DM version (their plug-in hybrid system) pairs a 1.5T turbocharged engine with an electric motor for a combined output that handles both city crawl and motorway cruise without complaint.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Engine | 1.5T + DHT Electric Motor |
| System Power | ~245 kW combined |
| Electric Range | ~150 km (WLTC) |
| Total Range | ~1,050 km combined |
| Wheelbase | 2,720 mm |
| Dimensions | 4,745 x 1,930 x 1,760 mm |
| Ground Clearance | 195 mm |
| Warranty | 8 years / 1,000,000 km (powertrain) |
Who should import the T2?
Dealers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria (urban Lagos/Abuja), Kenya (Nairobi metro), and Eastern Europe (Poland, Czech Republic) are currently moving T2 units fastest. The 5-star safety rating opens doors in markets where government fleet procurement has safety score requirements. The PHEV powertrain is a genuine selling point in countries with patchy fuel supply - buyers can run mostly electric and use gasoline as backup.
The T2 is also the model Jetour is most actively co-marketing globally right now, meaning brand awareness support (social media, partnerships) is strongest here.
Jetour Shanhai T1 2025 - Entry Off-Road PHEV
From $21,800 FOB Shanghai
The T1 is the most accessible entry into the Shanhai (Mountain-Sea) off-road sub-brand. It is smaller than the T2, seats five, and trades the T2's panoramic roof drama for more practical off-road posture.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Engine | 1.5T + Electric Motor (PHEV) |
| Max Power | ~115 kW |
| Torque | ~230 N.m |
| Ground Clearance | 210 mm |
| Drive System | AWD optional |
| Fuel Capacity | 53L |
Who should import the T1?
Markets where the road network is genuinely rough - northern Nigeria, rural Kenya, parts of West Africa - the T1's 210 mm clearance and AWD option are meaningful advantages. The lower FOB price also helps in markets where $26,500 is at the ceiling of what retail buyers can finance.
One thing to flag: the T1 is a 2025 model year, and the 2026 update has not been widely exported yet. Confirm with us on model year availability before placing a large order.
Jetour X70 Plus 2026 - The Family Volume Mover
From $22,500 FOB Shanghai
The X70 Plus is Jetour's most straightforward family SUV - no hybrid complexity, no off-road pretension, just a spacious, well-equipped mid-size SUV that does what most families actually need. It is the easiest to service, which matters in markets where PHEV technicians are hard to find.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Engine | 1.5T Turbocharged (gasoline) |
| Max Power | 115 kW |
| Torque | 230 N.m |
| Wheelbase | 2,720 mm |
| Seating | 5 or 7 (configurable) |
| Infotainment | 12.3 inch dual screen, wireless CarPlay |
| Charging | 50W wireless charging pad |
Who should import the X70 Plus?
Saudi Arabia and the UAE are the sweet spot. The 7-seat configuration meets the practical needs of Gulf family buyers, and the gasoline-only powertrain is simpler for markets where after-sales infrastructure is still developing. Southeast Asia (Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam) is also a growing market for this model.
If you are new to importing Jetour and want to minimize technical risk on your first shipment, the X70 Plus is the lower-complexity starting point.
Jetour Zongheng G700 - Premium Off-Road Statement
From $26,500 FOB Shanghai
The G700 is Jetour's answer to the question: "What if a Chinese brand took the Land Cruiser Prado seriously?" It is the biggest, most imposing vehicle in the Jetour lineup, with a high-belt-line presence, heavily bolstered front fascia, and interior finishes aimed at buyers who want to communicate status as well as capability.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Body Style | Ladder-frame inspired body-on-frame SUV |
| Powertrain | Gasoline 2.0T / Diesel option |
| Torque | >400 N.m (diesel) |
| Seating | 5 seats, leather trim |
| Ground Clearance | 220 mm+ |
| Approach Angle | ~30deg |
Who should import the G700?
Gulf fleet managers and government procurement buyers looking for a Land Cruiser alternative at roughly half the price. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Oman are the primary markets. The G700 also moves in East Africa among NGO and commercial fleet buyers who need ground clearance and diesel efficiency. Lead time is typically longer than other models - factor in 8-12 weeks from order to departure.
Model Selection Matrix: Matching Vehicle to Market
| Market | Recommended Model | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Saudi Arabia | X70 Plus 7-seat · G700 | Family size, status purchase, gasoline preferred |
| UAE | T2 C-DM · X70 Plus | Tech-forward buyers, fleet diversity |
| Nigeria (urban) | T2 C-DM · X70 Plus | PHEV backup range, urban roads |
| Nigeria (rural) | Shanhai T1 | Ground clearance, AWD, lower price |
| Kenya / East Africa | T2 · Shanhai T1 | Mixed road conditions, fleet use |
| Ghana / West Africa | X70 Plus · T1 | Price sensitivity, simpler servicing |
| Thailand / Philippines | X70 Plus | Established Chinese car market, family SUV demand |
| Poland / Eastern Europe | T2 C-DM | PHEV regulations, European delivery ongoing |
Q: Which Jetour model is best for African markets in 2026?
A: For most African urban markets, the Jetour T2 C-DM offers the best combination of price, practicality, and reliability. At approximately $26,500 FOB, it provides 5 or 7-seat flexibility, PHEV efficiency, and the brand's strongest safety certification. For dealers prioritizing lower entry cost or servicing simpler gasoline vehicles, the X70 Plus at $22,500 FOB is a solid second choice. For rural or rough-terrain markets, the Shanhai T1's higher ground clearance and AWD option are worth the trade-off in space.
