The national automotive market officially receives a new brand from the Grupo Chery, the Jetour, which debuts its operations with the launch of the S06 PHEV. The plug-in hybrid sports utility vehicle was presented this Monday, January 26th, and aims to intensify competition in the growing segment of electrified vehicles, taking direct aim at already established models from other Chinese manufacturers.
The model will be available in two different configurations, the Advance and the Premium, with special launch prices starting at R$199,900. The most complete version, Premium, will be sold for R$229,900 during this promotional period, which has no end date announced by the automaker. The strategy aims to quickly consolidate the SUV’s presence in the market.
For interested consumers, the pre-sale period will begin next week. A unit can be reserved at any authorized point in the network upon payment of a deposit of R$5,000. The first deliveries to customers participating in this initial phase are scheduled to occur at the end of the first quarter, more specifically in March 2026.
Performance and powertrain of the hybrid set
The Jetour S06 PHEV is equipped with a propulsion system that combines a combustion engine and an electric engine to deliver performance and efficiency. The combined power reaches 315 hp, while the torque reaches an expressive 52 kgfm, figures that guarantee agile responses for a vehicle of its size. The thermal engine is a 1.5 four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine, which alone develops 135 hp, working in conjunction with a 203 hp electric unit. According to the manufacturer, this configuration allows the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.8 seconds, with the force managed by a DHT (Dedicated Hybrid Transmission) type transmission, which offers multiple gear variations in a smooth and optimized way.
Autonomy is one of the main highlights of the model, which has a 19.4 kWh battery. Essa capacity allows the driver to travel for up to 70 kilometers in purely electric mode, ideal for daily urban journeys without pollutant emissions. The recharging process is flexible, accepting fast charging stations (DC) with up to 40 kW and alternating current (AC) points with power up to 6.6 kW. Quando the two engines operate in an integrated manner, fuel consumption is impressive, reaching 36.2 km/l in the urban cycle, according to measurements from the Programa Brasileiro and Etiquetagem Veicular (PBEV).
Generous dimensions and optimized internal space
With an imposing design, the S06 PHEV stands out for its robust dimensions, which guarantee both a striking presence on the streets and excellent comfort for the occupants. The SUV measures 4.61 meters long, 1.91 m wide and 1.69 m high, with a wheelbase of 2.72 meters. Essas measures translate into ample internal space for legs and shoulders, in addition to providing greater stability at high speeds. The trunk offers a capacity of 416 liters, a volume suitable for a family’s needs, whether for everyday use or travel. Construído on a modern platform shared with other vehicles in the group, the utility vehicle ensures high torsional rigidity and structural reliability, while its external design was designed to optimize aerodynamics and, consequently, reduce energy consumption.
Embedded technology and standard items in the versions
From its entry-level configuration, the S06 PHEV offers a complete technological package. The Advance version comes standard with a 12.8-inch multimedia center, dual-zone digital air conditioning and a 360-degree camera system, which makes maneuvering in tight spaces easier.
The interior finish uses high quality synthetic materials, seeking to convey a feeling of sophistication. Além Furthermore, the vehicle offers wireless connectivity for the main smartphone operating systems, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring full integration with user applications.
By opting for the top-of-the-line version Premium, the customer receives significant upgrades. The multimedia center display is enlarged to 15.6 inches, and the front seats now have heating and cooling systems, providing greater comfort in different weather conditions.
The technology package of the Premium version is reinforced with the inclusion of front parking sensors and a camera system with a 540-degree view. Essa innovative technology allows you to visualize obstacles that are under the vehicle’s chassis, offering an extra layer of safety and practicality.
Driver assistance and active safety
The Premium version of the Jetour S06 PHEV stands out for its advanced safety package, which includes level 2 vehicle automation features. Entre available systems include adaptive cruise control (ACC) and autonomous emergency braking (AEB), which help prevent accidents.
The system is also capable of monitoring blind spots, alerting the driver about possible frontal collisions and correcting the trajectory in case of involuntary departure from the lane. Passive protection is ensured by a reinforced body structure and multiple airbags distributed throughout the cabin.
Extended warranty and customization options
Jetour bets on the durability of its products to gain consumer trust, offering warranty conditions above the market average. The electrical package, including the engine and battery, is covered for eight years or 160,000 kilometers.
For the other components of the vehicle, the warranty period is seven years or 150 thousand kilometers, whichever comes first. Essa policy demonstrates the brand’s commitment to the quality and reliability of its automobiles.
The customer will be able to choose between five color options for the body, ranging from classic white and black to more exclusive tones, such as aurora green and rock gray. The interior can also be customized with two different color combinations.
Parts infrastructure and manufacturing plans
To ensure efficient after-sales, the brand has already established a parts distribution center in Cajamar, in the state of São Paulo. The location stores an initial stock of more than 90,000 components to quickly meet the demand of the dealership network.
The logistics for importing vehicles and parts are carried out through the port of Vitória, at Espírito Santo. The company is already studying the feasibility of starting local production between the end of 2026 and the beginning of 2027, with an initial SKD assembly system to accelerate its insertion into the domestic market.
Expansion of the customer service network
Jetour’s launch strategy includes rapid expansion of its service network. Até the end of February, the brand plans to open four exhibition points in high-traffic shopping malls to present the new SUV to the public. The goal is to reach 60 authorized points in March, covering the country’s main capitals and offering complete sales and service support. Negotiations for the installation of its own factory in Brasil are at an advanced stage, which would reinforce the brand’s commitment to the national market in the long term.
