After the Shanhai T2, the Shanhai T1 – Chery Jetour’s second light off-road plug-in hybrid SUV, was revealed in more official images ahead of launch in the fourth quarter of this year.

In the front, the square headlights are decorated with four-point dual rectangular light units, matched with eight double rectangular light strips inside the grille.
