Share
Recently, we learned from the official source that the 2026 Jietu Traveler and Traveler C-DM will be officially launched on November 17th. As annual facelift models, there is little difference in design—they still adopt a "square box" styling and offer both pure fuel power and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) power options. It is worth noting that the Jietu Shanhai T2 will be renamed Traveler C-DM. Earlier, during the declaration with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the declaration information of Traveler C-DM had already appeared in the optional configuration diagrams of Shanhai T2.
Exterior
According to the previous declaration diagrams from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, both the Traveler and Traveler C-DM still feature the square box design. The front grille is integrated with the headlight clusters on both sides, and the 6-piece mesh structure in the middle of the grille embeds Jietu's English logo. The front bumper protrudes beyond the vehicle body, with small-sized fog lamp assemblies installed on both sides. A silver lower guard plate and tow hooks are equipped in the middle and lower parts.
Body Side
From the side view of the vehicle, the space between the C-pillar and D-pillar of the Traveler C-DM is much larger compared to the fuel-powered Traveler. Its body dimensions are 5034/2006/1880mm, with a wheelbase of 2800mm. In terms of data, the Traveler C-DM is 249mm longer in overall length than the pure fuel-powered Traveler, while other dimensions remain unchanged. Meanwhile, the declaration information shows that the Traveler C-DM has a rated passenger capacity of 7 seats.
Power
The 2026 Jietu Traveler will still offer 1.5T and 2.0T engine options. The Traveler C-DM will be equipped with a 1.5T plug-in hybrid power system. According to the information from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the maximum power of the engine is 115kW, and the battery pack will have two types of lithium iron phosphate batteries: 43.244kWh and 26.7kWh, corresponding to pure electric driving ranges of 162km, 161km, and 100km respectively.
