Recently, Chery’s Jetour brand announced that its upcoming Shanhai L6 plug-in hybrid SUV will be officially launched on August 25 in China. Shanhai (山海 – literal translation means mountain sea from Chinese) is a new energy vehicle series under Jetour.
For the next two years, in addition to the Shanhai L6, Jetour plans to launch the Shanhai L7, T-L, T1, and T2, covering two vehicle use scenarios: family travel and off-road travel. The T2 was launched in April this year and the T1 will be launched in the fourth quarter.
The length, width, and height of the Shanhai L6 are 4630/1910/1684 (1690) mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2720 mm. The declared curb weights are 1756 kg, 1787 kg, and 1796 kg. The approach and departure angles are 19° and 22°, respectively.
From the side, the car runs on Giti tires with a size of 255/45 R20, paired with fluorescent yellow calipers. Black roof racks and traditional door handles are present.
In the front, the appearance of the Shanhai L6 largely follows the front face design of the Jetour Dasheng with a closed face and sharp headlights, except the logo has been changed from the “‘JETOUR” letters to the brand sign and the bottom grille design has been adjusted.
The rear has a through-type taillight group with the two ends adopting a step design as well as an electric tailgate. Additionally, the right side has a C-DM plug-in hybrid logo to indicate the vehicle’s identity.
Furthermore, in terms of safety, advanced driving assistance functions such as automatic emergency braking and driver fatigue monitoring are present, which is supported by a camera on the A-pillar.
Power comes from a 1.5T plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T four-cylinder engine and an electric motor, according to declaration information by the Chinese MIIT. The maximum power of the 1.5T engine is 115 kW (154 hp). Two ternary lithium battery pack options with capacities of 10.9 kWh and 19.43 kWh are available, providing a corresponding pure electric range of 48 km and 91 km, respectively (assuming CLTC conditions). The top speed is 180 km/h.
Inside, the cockpit is equipped with a double-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, a floating central control screen, a rectangular instrument panel, and wireless charging panels. The dimensions are not yet revealed at this time. At the same time, the air conditioning control area contains numerous physical buttons.
Other configurations include a panoramic sunroof, atmosphere lighting, a Sony brand audio system, electric adjustment of driver and passenger seats, rear air-conditioning vents, electric adjustment of the exterior mirrors (including automatic folding when locking the car), and voice control capability.
