JAKARTA - The Jetour T1 showed its capabilities through a series of global tests in extreme terrain, ranging from the height of the Andes Mountains to the extreme dry conditions in the Atacama Desert. This model represents an increase in driving performance by combining comfort, technology, and toughness in one package.

Developed within the framework of the global strategy "Travel+", the Jetour T1 is not only positioned as a vehicle, but rather a travel companion designed to support the freedom of exploration without sacrificing the comfort of daily use in urban areas.

When tested in the Andes Mountains with an altitude of over 5,000 meters, the vehicle must face extreme temperatures, low air pressure, and low oxygen levels that have the potential to reduce performance. This situation is used as a direct test to measure cold start capabilities, off-road performance, engine power, and handling.

As a result, the 2.0T turbocharged engine is able to start in just one try even though the oxygen level is around 60 percent of normal conditions, indicating optimal engine adaptation and mature calibration. The ability on extreme tracks is also demonstrated through the XWD Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system which is able to distribute torque in real time, allowing vehicles to cross heavy terrain such as loose sand to steep areas.

In terms of control, the combination of AWD, Electronic Limited Slip Differential, and Bosch ESP 9.3 keeps stability optimal even when facing strong winds and low traction road surfaces. Testing continues to the Atacama Desert, known as one of the driest regions in the world and nicknamed the "driving forbidden zone".

With a humidity level of around 5 percent, extreme temperatures, corrosive salt dust, and daily temperature fluctuations of more than 30 degrees Celsius, this location is a benchmark for mechanical endurance and vehicle system stability. In these conditions, the Jetour T1 is able to get out of a 30 cm deep sand trap thanks to the precise torque distribution of up to 390 Nm to all four wheels, and maintain stable performance while conquering slopes of up to 30 degrees.

On the other hand, the cabin is still protected from dust thanks to the use of CN95 air filters which maintain the quality of air for passengers to remain optimal even when crossing sandstorms. This series of tests confirms Jetour's seriousness in presenting vehicles that have been tested in real extreme conditions, while providing a sense of safety and confidence for users.

"Through testing in various extreme conditions in the world, we want to ensure that every technology and capability we offer is truly relevant and gives consumers confidence in their every journey. This also confirms Jetour's commitment to providing vehicles that are not only innovative, but also safe, robust, and in line with the mobility needs of Indonesian society," said Marketing Director of PT Jetour Sales Indonesia Moch Ranggy Radiansyah, quoted from official statement, Friday, April 10.
