# JETOUR T2 Launches in Russia, Rugged Boxy SUV Tailored for Diverse Local Travel Needs
Russia stands as one of the most important single overseas markets for Chinese automotive brands. Brands under Chery Group have maintained solid sales performance here. As a product line focused on off-road and adventure-style vehicles, JETOUR has brought the Traveller to Russia, marketed locally as JETOUR T2. Unlike many models that get rebranded for overseas sales, this vehicle is introduced with a highly faithful design for Russian consumers, showing great sincerity.

This article covers the standard JETOUR Traveller, not the newly launched Traveller 7. It retains the iconic rugged boxy design language. The front fascia features the JETOUR letter logo alongside a straight, tough nose section. On both sides sit distinctive four-point headlights for strong recognizability. The front bumper adopts a layered structure with decorative trims and auxiliary lights, while delivering a generous approach angle to support off-road driving.
Its side profile highlights the classic boxy silhouette. The D-pillar rises slightly, paired with roof rails, large-size wheels and sturdy side steps to build a strong adventure vibe. The rear is defined by the externally mounted full-size spare wheel, commonly known as the “rear-mounted spare tire”. The tailgate opens from the left, with symmetrical hinges fitted on the right. Vertical taillights echo the headlight design. The rear bumper balances styling and practicality with a good departure angle for a consistent rugged look.
The interior follows the mature layout of the domestic variant. A floating central display works with a digital instrument cluster to form a dual-screen system. The dashboard is trimmed with special textured panels. An open storage compartment and vertical air vents are arranged on the passenger side. A substantial electronic gear shifter and polygonal four-spoke steering wheel further reinforce the off-road style. Grab handles are fitted throughout the cabin for practical use. The front seats are upholstered in flocked fabric and equipped with an electric leg rest, ventilation and heating functions. The second-row seats also come with heating, well-suited for cold weather in Russia.
The Russia-spec model is powered by a 2.0T petrol engine producing a maximum of 245 horsepower, mated to an 8AT transmission. The four-wheel-drive system adopts BorgWarner’s 6th-generation technology. It delivers smooth performance for urban commuting, while a central differential lock and rear differential lock greatly improve off-road capability on unpaved surfaces.
Positioned for urban commuting, long-distance road trips and off-road adventures, the JETOUR T2 adapts to varied road conditions across Russia. As Chinese brands keep expanding locally, the market performance of this rugged SUV is worth watching.
