The Jetour T1 is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Jetour since 2024. In China, it is marketed under two names, the Jetour Freedom (Chinese: 捷途自由者; pinyin: Jiétú Zìyóuzhě) and the Jetour Shanhai T1 (Chinese: 山海T1; lit. 'Mountain sea T1') for the plug-in hybrid version.[1]
Overview
The Jetour Shanhai T1 was shown at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show.[2] and was first introduced on 27 October 2024 in China as a plug-in hybrid only model.[3] Later in February 2025, a non-hybrid petrol engine version went on sale in China as the Jetour Freedom.[4]
The Freedom was designed with mild off-road capabilities with an approach angle of 28 degrees, a departure angle of 29 degrees, a minimum ground clearance of 200 mm (7.9 in), and a claimed wading depth of 700 mm (27.6 in).
The Freedom is equipped with a 12.8 or 15.6-inch central infotainment screen with a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 system on a chip, and a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel.[3]

Saudi Arabia
The T1 had its global launch in Riyadh on 20 February 2025. It comes with two turbocharged engine options all equipped with all-wheel drive: a 1.5-litre making 125 kW (170 PS; 168 hp) and 270 N⋅m (199 lb⋅ft; 28 kg⋅m) of torque, and a 2.0-litre making 180 kW (245 PS; 241 hp) and 375 N⋅m (277 lb⋅ft; 38 kg⋅m) of torque.[7]

The T1 was launched in South Africa on 27 October 2025, alongside the Jetour T2. It is available with four trim levels: Edge, Aspira, Xplora and Odyssey. For powertrains, it is available with either 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engines, with all-wheel drive standard on the latter.[8]
UAE
The T1 was unveiled in Dubai on 16 December 2024, with deliveries of the sole petrol version with the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol expected commenced in April 2025, and the plug-in hybrid version arrived later in late 2025.[1]
Powertrain
The plug-in hybrid powertrain consists of a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine outputting 115 kW (156 PS; 154 hp) and 220 N⋅m (162 lb⋅ft; 22 kg⋅m) of torque paired with a single-speed dedicated hybrid transmission, along with a 150 kW (204 PS; 201 hp) front motor and 26.7 kWh LFP battery pack.[3] An all-wheel-drive version was announced in November of 2025 and consists of the same engine and front motor but adds a new 175 kW (238 PS; 235 hp) rear motor. It also uses a slightly larger battery that is half a kilowatt larger than the battery used in the front-wheel-drive version, with the electric-only range being 3 kilometers less than the front-wheel-drive version.[9]
The petrol-only powertrains include a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission with two-wheel drive and a two- or four-wheel drive 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with an 8-speed torque converter automatic.
