With so many choices, how should consumers choose the right new car for them? This issue of "Car Buying Guide" will give you detailed answers.

First, the model description
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a "square box" shape, and its own English logo is embedded in the front grille, which complements the square elements and matches the light clusters on both sides of the front of the car, making the vehicle look more coordinated. In addition, the T2 also thickens the front bumper to make it more tough.
On the side of the body, the new car adopts a simple design, outlining the body with only one waistline, creating a simple and fashionable feeling. The wheel eyebrows have also been widened to give it a stronger look. At the rear of the car, the off-road atmosphere of the Jietu Shanhai T2 is more obvious, with an external "small school bag", a side door design and a heavy bumper all highlighting its off-road attributes.
Wheels are available in 19-inch and 20-inch wheels, with 255/60 R19 tyres for the 129KM Wilderness and 129KM Wilderness models, and 255/55 R20 tyres for the top-of-the-line model.
In terms of body color, the new car provides 4 exterior colors to choose from, of which 3 colors of Polar Night Black, Snow Mountain Silver and Yanyu Blue are standard for the new car, and the road gray color is optional at a separate price of 3,000 yuan. Although there are not many color options, they all have their own characteristics, and consumers can choose according to their preferences.
In terms of interior, the new car adopts a "T" shaped layout and retains a large number of physical buttons, which is convenient for users to operate blindly while driving. The 15.6-inch floating central control screen also integrates most of the operating functions in the car, and is also equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip to enhance the smoothness of the car. In terms of details, the rounded rectangular air outlets, the flat-bottomed four-spoke steering wheel and a variety of leather materials make the vehicle look more textured.
In terms of power, the 2024 Jietu Shanhai T2 is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5T turbocharged engine and front-mounted dual motors, and is matched with a 3-speed hybrid transmission. Depending on the model configuration, the CLTC has an all-electric range of 129 km and 208 km, respectively, and the combined WLTC fuel consumption is about 1.41 L/100 km and 0.93 L/100 km.
2. Highlights and recommendations of model configuration
The entry-level model of the 2024 Jietu Shanhai T2 is the 2024 C-DM 129KM Wilderness Edition, priced at 179,900 yuan. Even if it is an entry-level model, its equipment performance is still remarkable, such as keyless entry for the driver's seat, electric trunk, multi-function steering wheel, electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, front side airbags and other equipment are equipped to meet daily use. However, in terms of driver assistance and comfort equipment, the performance of the entry-level model is not satisfactory, so it is not highly recommended.
3. Analysis of the difference in the configuration of recommended models
In terms of comprehensive configuration and price, I personally recommend the 2024 C-DM 129KM Forest Edition with a guide price of 189,900 yuan. In terms of comparative configuration, although the recommended model is 10,000 yuan more expensive than the entry-level model, it has been greatly upgraded in terms of active safety, assisted driving and comfort configuration, such as active braking/active safety system, L2 level assisted driving, front seat heating/ventilation, front mobile phone wireless charging and other configurations, which are equipped with high cost performance.
The top model is 20,000 yuan more expensive than the recommended model, although the CLTC pure electric mileage has increased, but it does not have many new functions compared with the recommended model, such as negative ion generator, in-car fragrance device, etc. are the icing on the cake configuration, dispensable, so the cost performance is not high.
To sum up, the 2024 C-DM 129KM Woodland Edition model is relatively cost-effective, and consumers can give priority to it when buying a car.
