On the C-DM model, battery capacity ranges from 27.2 kWh (giving a CLTC pure-electric range of 129 km) to 43.24 kWh (delivering 211–212 km of electric range). The regular Traveller retains the boxy “cube-style” body with minor updates: the front grille receives a micro-adjustment, each grille segment now features a single Jetour letter, decorative lighting is darkened, and optional wheel sizes have expanded to 18”, 19”, and 20”. The C-DM variant further differentiates itself with a special matte “road-grey” paint, vertically arranged transparent rear light cluster, side-opening tailgate, spare wheel mounted externally with brand-centre cover, and a new deep-sea-blue paint option.

Inside, the 2026 Traveller upgrades to a higher-spec Qualcomm 8255 chip (the previous fuel version used a 8155), adds physical buttons for mirror control and on-centre console, features finer decorative trim on the pillar grab handles, and introduces new diamond-quilt-pattern seats with dual-row stitching. In terms of standard equipment, the regular Traveller offers a tyre-pressure display, cruise control, selectable drive modes, an electric soft-close tailgate, keyless access, remote start, 50:50 split-fold rear seats, an eight-speaker audio system, multi-layer insulating front glass, and automatic air conditioning. The C-DM features include a roof luggage rack, a built-in dash cam, a 6.6 kW VTOL mobile power station, a four-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, and a built-in karaoke function.

Competition in the Chinese market for the Traveller includes models such as the Haval Big Dog (starting from 123,900 yuan, approximately 17,500 USD) for the fuel variant and the Haval Menglun PHEV (from 165,800 yuan, approximately 23,300 USD) and while the C-DM targets the Haval Raptor PHEV and the Beijing BJ40 for the hybrid segment.
