The appearance is eye-catching! Pre-test-drive express traveler

In recent years, the concept of suburban holiday leisure tour has been deepened, including but not limited to tent camping, beach barbecue, lawn frisbee and other light tourism projects. Along with this concept, SUVs with a hard-core style have gradually become popular.
As far as the new hard-core cars listed in the past year or two are concerned, there are no fewer than ten models, which shows the popularity of such sub-models. In my opinion, these hard-core style SUVs are on fire, but it is better to say that everyone’s mentality has changed. The pressure of employment and life in cities is great, and there is no better way to decompress in cities. With off-road vehicles, you can get closer to nature. For yourself, you have found a new way of life, so correspondingly, the demand for off-road vehicles has started to increase, and off-road vehicles have naturally become popular.
In addition, in the past, the SUV with hard-core style was either too expensive or uncomfortable to drive, but now the price of the model has become very close to the people and the comfort has been qualitatively improved. Today, the Jetway I test-drive is such a model, so what about the answer sheet it handed over?

In terms of appearance, Jetway Traveler, as its name implies, adopts the popular hard-core design and adds many outdoor elements to the details. And the most surprising thing is that the production model has highly restored the design of the previous T-X concept car, so the new car still looks very bright.

In the front face, the front of the car is tall and straight, and the front face is rich in layers. The blackened grille also integrates the ""brand logo that can be lit with the headlights, and the headlights on both sides adopt square elements. In addition, the front bumper and front and rear wheel eyebrows are equipped with LED light sources, and additional light sources can also be provided during travel or parking and camping.

The overall shape of the headlights is square, but the LED strip with longitudinal arrangement is adopted in the interior cavity, which not only creates a tough style, but also has strong scientific and technological attributes. This design is also the mainstream design of the current hard-core SUV, which is very pleasing.

Looking down again, you can see that the overall black bumper is very thick, and the tough lines have a little mecha design style. The details are also very rich. First of all, the trailer hook is common in hard-core models, but travelers paint it fluorescent, and in addition to fog lights, the bumper is also equipped with fill lights, which provide additional light sources in poor lighting conditions or camping.

Viewed from the side of the car body, Jietu Traveler adopts the square design used by many hard-core SUVs. The window frame is angular, and the large black wheel eyebrows protrude outward, which is very consistent with the positioning of the whole car. In the transition from C-pillar to D-pillar, the window line began to rise gradually, which increased the fashion sense of the side.

Jetway Traveler’s original factory is equipped with a very wide pedal, which is tough enough. However, for people who are taller, it is easy to get dirty without stepping on the pedal. If the pedal is slightly narrowed, the effect is expected to be better.


In addition, the front and rear rows are equipped with wide handles, which makes it more convenient for the elderly or children to get on and off.


In the details, the front and rear wheel eyebrows are also equipped with lights, and the roof rack is also decorated with fluorescent colors. In terms of body size, the new car is positioned as a medium-sized off-road SUV with a length, width and height of 4785×2006×1880mm and a wheelbase of 2800mm respectively.

In terms of rims, in order to cater to the hard-core modeling, the 19-inch blackened rims also adopt a thick multi-spoke style, and the details such as the hub cover are also painted in fluorescent color. And today’s test drive models are also equipped with Jiatong brand AT tires, which are 255/60 R19 in tyre size.

A large number of rounded rectangular design elements are also applied to the tail, and the outline is relatively rough. Above the tailgate, a small square schoolbag is hung with an external rear spare tire, which is also the standard configuration of the main hard-core style models.

At the same time, the vertical taillights are wrapped in a black frame and integrated with the black decoration on the upper part, showing a strong off-road temperament. The tailgate is also in the form of side opening. It is worth mentioning that the tailgate has a borderless design and looks more textured. Moreover, the tailgate also has an electric suction function, which is definitely a plus item.

The design of the rear bumper is consistent with the front of the car, and the shape is very strong. At the same time, the rear of the car also has LED fill light.

In the interior part, Jetway Traveler adopts the popular minimalist design style as a whole. The center console has a traditional T-shaped layout, but the interior looks more powerful through angular lines. At the same time, the four-spoke steering wheel with flat bottom up and down and the suspended large-size multimedia screen add a strong sense of science and technology to the interior.

In terms of materials, the car is also wrapped in soft and leather materials in a large area, and the interior color matching of the double fight looks fresher and more energetic. In addition, the square air conditioning air outlet, the handrails on both sides of the gear handle and the door handrails all create a sense of strength for the interior.

In addition, the decorative board in front of the co-pilot is composed of self-driving routes, which is more in line with the positioning of the model. This small detail is still very careful.

In terms of intelligent configuration, the screen size of the car is 15.6 inches, and 8155 chips are built in, so the response speed of the system is completely unnecessary to worry about. Moreover, the functions of the interior app application and intelligent voice control are also consistent with the mainstream models, and it is still very easy for young people to get started.


In other aspects, the new car is also equipped with 50W mobile phone wireless charging, fatigue driving reminder and other functions.

The shape of the electronic gear lever is very strong, which is very consistent with the positioning of its hard-core SUV, and the grip is also very comfortable, and the damping feeling of the lever is also very advanced.

Behind the handlebar are the shortcut buttons for driving mode, air conditioning A/C and panoramic image system, which is convenient for blind operation.

The chair is generous in shape, covered with suede material, delicate in touch and high in texture, and the letter LOGO "JT" is also marked on the back of the chair. Moreover, the fabric is soft and comfortable.



The rear seats are also spacious and comfortable, the rear backrest supports two angle adjustments, the central floor is also very flat, and it is equipped with air conditioning outlets and power interfaces. In terms of seating space, after the front seat is adjusted to the position of 1,9m adult male, the back seat will be an adult male with a height of 1.9m. The head and leg space still have more than one punch, and the space performance is excellent.


In terms of storage space, there are more than 50 storage spaces in the car, which are very rich. There are spacious storage spaces in front of the co-pilot, under the bumper and in the armrest box, which is very convenient for placing personal belongings.


In terms of trunk space, the overall volume is basically the same as that of the hard-core SUV of the same level, mainly because the lateral width is average, but the overall space is very regular, and after putting down the rear seats, it can form a very flat space, plus the shape of the generous box, which makes the storage space in the car very regular, and it is no problem to cope with daily family trips.


It is worth mentioning that the configuration of the trunk is very rich, with 12V cigarette lighter, 220V power supply, net bag and anchor point. Moreover, there are two hooks and two folding cup holders in the rear door, which are very practical for long-distance travel or camping in the suburbs.

In terms of power, the models of this test drive are all equipped with 2.0T Kunpeng power, the maximum power of the engine is 187kW, and the maximum torque is 390 Nm. In terms of transmission, it is matched with the 7DCT gearbox. In addition, Jetway Traveler also offers a 1.5T version to choose from.

This time, our main experience is its four-wheel drive performance. The 2.0T version of Jetway Traveler comes standard with Borgwarner’s sixth-generation four-wheel drive system, which can automatically switch four-wheel drive modes and intelligently distribute rear wheel torque. At the same time, it provides six driving modes: economy, standard, sports, snow, sediment and rock. It is worth mentioning that in addition to the above six driving modes, Jetway travelers also provide X mode, which can intelligently identify the road conditions, switch the corresponding modes, and always ensure the best driving state. In my opinion, this mode can be understood as a fool camera, and all the parameters are adjusted for you. Just click on it, which is a very practical function for off-road white. (And this cross-country experience is completed in X mode.)

In addition, Jietu travelers also have a approach angle of 28, a departure angle of 30, a minimum ground clearance of 220mm and a wading depth of 700 mm. For an SUV built with a load-bearing body, it can be said that the hardware is almost full.

In the actual experience, the four-wheel drive system can sense the tire idling in time and quickly lock the idle wheel, and the electronic slip-limiting intervention is also timely. It is no problem to get out of trouble in the face of the occasional challenges of the subject of experience, and it can also get out of trouble in time when the single rear wheel has adhesion. With the help of the car body data and the four-wheel drive system, its passability is indeed better than that of the general urban SUV.

During the 28 climbing experience, Jetway Traveler’s 2.0T engine has enough torque output, and it is easy to climb to the top of the hill with continuous and steady oil supply. Moreover, the AT tires equipped by the original factory did not slip too much during the constant climbing process, and the whole process was very easy. In addition, agile travelers also have the ability to cross a 45 slope.

It is worth mentioning that there is also a "cross-country dial" function in the car-machine interface. The left half can display functions such as compass, altitude, pitch angle, roll angle and wading radar, while there is a 3D model on the right, which can display tire pressure, tire temperature, front and rear power distribution, etc. The function is very comprehensive, and it is very playable and practical for hard-core positioning models.
The steering force is moderate, and it will be easy to get used to it. When passing on rough off-road roads, the steering will not flick. The gentle steering force is very easy for fine exercise and more controllable.

On the unpaved road section composed of gravel roads, the chassis of Jietu Traveler gave me a big surprise. On the high-frequency continuous vibration, the chassis inside the car felt very tight, and there was no unnecessary shaking. Moreover, after the vibration was resolved by the suspension and seat, it was not stiff to be transmitted into the car. In addition, there is no abnormal sound of any decorative parts in the car during high-frequency bumps, and the overall performance can be satisfactory.

With the timely four-wheel drive of Borgwarner, the system can accurately brake to lock the skidding wheels according to the road conditions. In the cross-axle test, it can be seen that Jietu travelers have a good suspension stroke, and the four wheels have no skidding phenomenon. As long as the throttle output is stabilized, they can easily pass.

When passing through the road surface composed of continuous tires, with strong torque output, Jietu travelers can also easily complete the challenge.

Although it is a load-bearing body, its body stiffness is greater than that of a general urban SUV, and its torsional stiffness reaches 31,000 nm/deg, which is enough to ensure that its body deformation is more controllable when facing road conditions such as cross shafts, so as not to make the car squeak. Moreover, it has a longer absorption time and more sufficient rebound absorption when experiencing some uneven roads, thus increasing the ability to get rid of difficulties.
In the actual experience, the four-wheel drive system can sense the tire idling in time and quickly lock the idle wheel, and the electronic slip-limiting intervention is also timely. It is no problem to get out of trouble in the face of the occasional challenges of the subject of experience, and it can also get out of trouble in time when the single rear wheel has adhesion. With the help of the car body data and the four-wheel drive system, its passability is indeed better than that of the general urban SUV.
From the actual experience, the passing ability of Jetway travelers is worthy of recognition, but I prefer to call it a light off-road vehicle, and this kind of vehicle will become more and more popular. Because in most families, most of them only have one car, so it is impossible to make a pure hard-core off-road vehicle+daily commuting model. Moreover, it is very rare for a large number of people to contact extreme cross-country The light off-road positioning car such as Jetway Traveler is a very balanced choice. The load-bearing car body can ensure enough comfort in daily commuting in the city, and the appearance of hard personality combined with good passing ability can also make you more comfortable and relaxed during the journey. Looking at the test price, it can be said that it is a new category of SUV within 150,000-200,000, which is worth a try for friends who like go on road trip.
