Jetour Shanhai T1 has launched three plug-in hybrid models with a guide price of RMB 154,800 to RMB 174,800. As a new energy box SUV for road trips, Jetour Shanhai T1 is expected to quickly seize the "road light off-road" market. The 1.5T plug-in hybrid engine equipped in Shanhai T1 has a maximum thermal efficiency of 44.5%.

The car adopts the popular square box shape, the headlight group has four-point daytime running lights, the black front grille is integrated with the headlight group, and there is also a through-type light group inside the grille. The overall design style of the family is adopted, equipped with full LCD instrument, upper and lower flat-bottom steering wheels, floating central control screen, electronic gear lever and other elements.

The launch of the Jetour Shanhai T1 model, which competes with the Haval Molong, is expected to challenge Haval's market position in urban light off-road.

The price range of the Raptors is 165,800 to 192,800 yuan. Hi4 102 Pro and Hi4 145 Pro are equipped with 255/60 tires, 19-inch wheels, ETC and other six high-perception configurations. At the same time, Great Wall also provides users with the right to use a 2,000 yuan deposit to offset a 6,000 yuan vehicle payment.

Haval Raptors sold 7,201 units in September, and sales have risen for four consecutive months. In addition, the new Haval Raptors Hi4 was exposed on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's declaration website in August, and the new Raptors Hi4 will soon meet us.

All Haval Raptors are equipped with four-wheel drive as standard, while the Jetour Shanhai T1 is a two-wheel drive version without a rear axle differential lock, which is optional for the Haval Raptors. The off-road performance of the Jetour Shanhai T1 is relatively weak. The top of the Jetour Shanhai series, the T2, is equipped with a rear axle differential lock and is priced at 224,900 yuan.

This article selects Chery Jetour Shanhai T1 2024 1.5TD Xianghai version and Great Wall Motor's Haval Raptor 2024 1.5T Hi4 145 Pro version for readers' reference.

Raptors have more space, Shanhai is cheaper

As can be seen from the above picture, Shanhai T1 is not as long as Haval Raptors, 10 cm shorter, but the former is larger in width, height and wheelbase. In other words, Shanhai T1 is worse than Haval Raptors in terms of riding space. However, Shanhai T1 has not disclosed the luggage compartment volume, but judging from the interior space, it should be almost the same as Haval Raptors.

In terms of power, the comprehensive maximum power of Haval Raptors is higher than that of Shanhai T1, but Shanhai T2 is equipped with Chery's super hybrid C-DM technology, with a maximum thermal efficiency of 44.5%, which is higher than the maximum 41.5% of the Raptors engine. However, fuel consumption depends on the driving scenario and driver style, and the outcome cannot be judged by data.

In terms of pure electric range, the CLTC charging range of the Jetour Shanhai T1 is 110 kilometers, while that of the Haval Raptor is 145 kilometers, which is about the same. In terms of power consumption, the Jetour Shanhai T1 is 5.89L, while that of the Haval Raptor is 6.09L, with a difference of only 0.2L per 100 kilometers. In terms of power consumption, the difference between the two cars is only 0.9 kWh per 100 kilometers, and the energy consumption gap is very small.

The Haval Raptor is equipped with a 2-speed DHT gearbox, while the Jetour Shanhai T1 is a 1-speed DHT gearbox. The Jetour Shanhai T1 has a faster gear response, a simpler structure, and is more fuel-efficient. Since the Shanhai T1 is lighter than the Raptor, its energy consumption performance is better than the Raptor.

In terms of price, the Haval Raptor is 5,000 yuan more expensive than the Jetour Shanhai T1, but the former has more power and more space.

The Raptors are more like an off-road vehicle

Comparing the battery and chassis, the Jetour Shanhai T1 is equipped with a 26.7-degree battery pack from Zhongxinhang, while the Haval Raptors are equipped with Honeycomb Energy batteries, both of which are made of lithium iron phosphate. The pure electric range and fast charging rate are comparable, but in terms of slow charging, the former takes 0.4 hours less to fully charge than the latter. The Shanhai T1's fuel tank is 15L larger than the Haval Raptors. While the fuel consumption is lower than the latter, the fuel tank is also much larger than the latter. The Shanhai T1's full fuel and full charge range is much higher than the Haval Raptors.

In terms of drive, the Haval Raptor is a front dual-motor four-wheel drive, while the Jetour Shanhai T1 is a front single-motor front-wheel drive, and its power is weaker than the former.

The entire Shanhai T1 series does not support the installation of rear axle differential lock, but the Haval Raptor supports it for +6,000 yuan. When the vehicle slips in the wild, the differential lock will force the power to be distributed to the wheels with adhesion, assisting the vehicle to get out of trouble quickly and making off-road more convenient. Shanhai T1 is not a four-wheel drive, but it is still no problem for low-intensity outdoor driving.

In terms of chassis, Shanhai T1 and Haval Raptor have the same suspension type, both with front McPherson and rear multi-link suspension. Both have R19 tires, but Shanhai T1 has a tire width of 235, while Haval Raptor has a tire width of 255. Raptor's tires are wider, with better handling and grip, while Shanhai T1 has lower wind resistance and is more fuel-efficient.

Jietu Mountain and Sea is more comfortable

In terms of smart cockpit, the central control screen of Jetour Shanhai T1 is larger than that of Haval Menglong, which is more convenient for screen navigation and car entertainment. In terms of smart cabin chip, Jetour Shanhai T1 uses Snapdragon 8155 chip, while Haval Menglong has not disclosed the chip name. The former has an advantage in car smoothness. The sunroofs of both models are openable panoramic sunroofs.

In terms of intelligent driving hardware configuration, Haval Raptors is weaker than Jetour Shanhai T1. Haval Raptors has 4 ultrasonic radars, while Jetour Shanhai T1 has 8. In terms of the number of cameras, Jetour Shanhai T1 has 6, while Haval Raptors has one less camera. Haval Raptors also has 4 fewer ultrasonic radars.

In terms of intelligent driving, both Jetour Shanhai T1 and Haval Menglong provide L2-level driving assistance functions, including active braking, lane departure warning, 360-degree panoramic imaging, lane keeping assistance, lane centering, road traffic sign recognition and other functions. In terms of passive safety, the two cars have the same functions. The entire Haval Menglong series supports fatigue driving prompts and has additional blind spot imaging. Shanhai T1 has additional steering assist lights and front fog lights.

In terms of comfort configuration, both models have imitation leather seats, and the front seats also support ventilation, heating, and massage functions. The Raptors' driver's seat has additional lumbar adjustment.

In terms of air conditioning, both Haval Raptors and Shanhai T1 are dual-zone air conditioners, but Shanhai T1 has an additional PM2.5 filter and AQS. Haval Raptors 145 Crossing Edition also has an additional air purifier, but the price has also reached 188,800 yuan.

In terms of audio-visual experience, Haval Raptors is equipped with 8 speakers, while Jetour Shanhai T1 is equipped with 9 speakers of Sony Audio. In terms of audio-visual experience, Haval Raptors is slightly inferior to Jetour Shanhai T1. Jetour Shanhai T1 has a seat welcome function, while Haval Raptors does not support welcome lighting effects. In terms of ambient lighting, Shanhai T2 is multi-color, while Haval Raptors top configuration is only single-color. Shanhai T1 has multi-layer soundproof glass installed in both the front and rear rows, while Haval Raptors only has multi-layer soundproof glass installed in the front row.

In summary, Haval Menglong is better than Shanhai T1 in off-road performance and power, but in intelligent configuration, endurance, and comfort configuration, Jietu Shanhai T1 is better than Haval Menglong. However, the guide price of 17.48 is only 1,100 yuan different from the guide price of the basic version of Deep Blue G318. Who wouldn't want to buy a bigger and better-driving one if they can spend 170,000 yuan to buy a "square box"?
