HANTOUR: The Battle of 200,000 RMB New Energy "Box-Style" SUVs: Deep Blue G318 vs. Jetour Shanhai T2

Stuffing tents, scooters, and folding chairs into the trunk, driving all the way, kids in the back seat excitedly pointing out the window: "Can we go to that hillside with the stream today?" — This is probably a scene of life that many young families yearn for. When it comes to travel vehicles, urban SUVs often get their undercarriages "scraped" on gravel roads, while traditional rugged off-road vehicles are discouraging due to their fuel consumption and comfort. Thus, new energy "box-style" SUVs have begun to emerge as a new choice, such as the highly popular Deep Blue G318 and Jetour Shanhai T2.

We focus on car purchases with a budget of 200,000 RMB, because models in this class can meet most people's high requirements for vehicles, and the price is reasonable, within reach for ordinary people with a little effort. Within this price range, the Deep Blue G318 4WD Secret Realm Edition (guidance price: 229,900 RMB) and the Jetour Shanhai T2 4WD Mountain Wild Edition (guidance price: 224,900 RMB) are often compared by consumers. Which one can better balance outdoor traversal and urban commuting, becoming a considerate partner for family outdoor light off-roading? Putting aside boring parameters, we will explore this from real usage scenarios.

Part 1: Comfort Experience

The Deep Blue G318 is born from the EPA1 all-electric digital platform, with inherent advantages brought by its pure electric genes. All seats are equipped with massage/heating/ventilation functions, and additional leg rests and seat cushion angle adjustment functions are added. What is most impressive is the "air suspension + CDC + magic carpet" comfort trio, which precisely adjusts the suspension's height and hardness in milliseconds — the body remains stable and calm when rolling over speed bumps, and provides strong support when cornering at high speeds, balancing comfort and stability. Coupled with six-sided double-layer sound-insulating glass for the entire vehicle, the quietness inside the car is better.

The Jetour Shanhai T2 is developed based on the fuel version of the Traveler, while efforts have been made in terms of comfort. The seat padding is thick, with good wrapping, and the front seats are also equipped with ventilation and heating functions, ensuring basic comfort. However, during long-distance driving, the lack of massage and lumbar support in the front row may test the driver's endurance. The second row is not equipped with ventilation/heating/massage. The chassis adopts a front MacPherson + rear multi-link structure, with tuning biased towards support. When facing continuously bumpy roads, the fine vibrations transmitted into the car body are relatively obvious, and the sound when the engine intervenes is relatively clear.

【Summary】The Jetour Shanhai T2 overall shows a relatively mainstream level. The lack of comfort in the second-row seats is somewhat understandable, because traditionally, rugged off-road vehicles don't need to be that comfortable. Letting the wind and rain be more turbulent, and the journey more bumpy, that's what makes off-roading real. The Deep Blue G318, on the other hand, is indeed practicing the essence of "family" and "outdoor traversal". For example, during a 4-hour round-trip weekend outing with the whole family, it aims to minimize travel fatigue, make the car compartment quieter and smoother, and help children fall asleep more easily. This is based on the consideration of protecting the family.

Part 2: Practical Space

The 5125mm vehicle length and 2880mm wheelbase lay a solid foundation for the large space of the Deep Blue G318. In the 5-seat state, the trunk is regular and spacious, with a capacity of 818L, which can hold 13 20-inch suitcases at the same time. When the rear seats are folded down, the loading space can reach 1747L, which can accommodate 29 20-inch suitcases. It can easily hold large items such as strollers and camping tents. Moreover, the rear seats are almost flat when folded down, making it easy to temporarily transform into a double bed.

The Jetour Shanhai T2 has a slightly shorter vehicle length of 4785mm and a wheelbase of 2800mm, which is also slightly inferior to the Deep Blue G318. However, its box-style design still ensures space utilization. The regular trunk volume of 580L can meet daily needs, and it can also accommodate most camping equipment except for very large items. Similarly, the rear seats support proportionally folding, with good expandability and flexibility.

【Summary】You don't need to worry about the space performance of off-road-oriented models; they can basically meet daily needs. The difference between the two models mainly lies in emergency scenarios such as outdoor camping and moving. Relatively speaking, the Deep Blue G318 has a larger trunk capacity, which can hold the child's bicycle, parents' fishing gear, and the wife's picnic basket all at once. The Jetour Shanhai T2 also performs well; with a little 取舍，it can still accommodate necessary items fairly easily.

Part 3: Intelligent Driving Experience

The Deep Blue G318 is equipped with DEEPAL AD PRO intelligent driving assistance, supporting highway NOA. The vehicle can automatically enter and exit ramps, change lanes with a lever, automatically follow the car, etc. During long-distance driving, these functions greatly reduce driving fatigue. It also supports 540° panoramic images, parking assistance, and sentinel mode, so you don't have to worry when traveling in an unfamiliar city, making parking easy and avoiding scratches.

The Jetour Shanhai T2 provides basic L2-level driving assistance, such as adaptive cruise control and lane centering. Although it is not as comprehensive as the Deep Blue G318, it can also effectively reduce driving pressure. Moreover, the fatigue driving reminder function can monitor the driver's state at any time, and the 540° panoramic images and a series of collision warning functions are also relatively complete.

【Summary】If you are a new driver and are interested in or dependent on intelligent driving assistance functions, then the Deep Blue G318 is a good choice. Its intelligent driving level is trustworthy, and intelligent parking can further free your hands. The Jetour Shanhai T2 is more like an "enhanced version of cruise control", which may not be as friendly to new drivers, but experienced drivers who are used to traditional driving will probably prefer it.

Part 4: Power and Range

Deep Blue's Super Extended Range 2.0 technology is the core advantage of the Deep Blue G318. The 4WD version is driven by dual front and rear motors, with a total system power of 316kW, and power is readily available with a step on the accelerator. The CLTC pure electric range is 190km, and it is upgraded with 3C super charging, which can charge from 30% to 80% in 15 minutes.

The Jetour Shanhai T2 is equipped with Chery's Kunpeng 1.5T plug-in hybrid system, with a comprehensive system power of 340kW and abundant power. The CLTC pure electric range is 206km, and fast charging from 30% to 80% takes about 40 minutes.

【Summary】The pure electric range of both cars can meet a week's commuting, and the comprehensive range is also relatively objective, without range anxiety. The main differences between the two lie in system power and pure electric range. Combined with actual usage scenarios and personal driving preferences, the slight gap between them will be further diluted. If you have a sudden idea to travel across provinces on weekends, it will test the energy replenishment efficiency. From this perspective, the Deep Blue G318 has stronger emergency capabilities.

Part 5: Passability

The Deep Blue G318 is equipped with "dual motors, real 4WD, and two locks", with power response more than twice as fast as traditional fuel 4WD. When wading or climbing slopes, the smart 4WD system, two locks, and all-terrain system shine. Moreover, it is easy to operate. For example, in the off-road creep mode, the driver only needs to hold the steering wheel without any throttle or brake operation to stably pass through steep sections.

The Jetour Shanhai T2 inherits rugged genes, with an approach angle of 28°, a departure angle of 30°, and a minimum ground clearance of 201mm, boasting excellent passability parameters. Equipped with a 4WD system + differential lock, it provides 7 + X off-road modes and has strong 脱困 capabilities in complex terrains such as cross-axles.

【Summary】Both cars can handle the muddy dirt roads or shallow streams after rain that are necessary to reach suburban campsites. The Deep Blue G318 excels in intelligent adjustment and comfort, while the Jetour Shanhai T2 shows a more rugged style and has slightly greater potential in extreme off-road scenarios. However, for the positioning of family light off-roading, the passability of both is better than that of urban SUVs.

Part 6: Expansion and Entertainment

The Deep Blue G318 comes with a variety of optional expansion accessories from the factory. The roof has reserved interfaces for installing a luggage rack, and the rear of the car is equipped with a 1.6T tow hook. The 3.3kW internal discharge can power a car refrigerator and a drone. The 6kW external discharge can supply 8 tents. The car can also be regarded as a "power bank", generating 3.63kWh of electricity with one liter of fuel. It can also perform 18kW vehicle-to-vehicle charging to quickly replenish energy for accompanying vehicles.

The Jetour Shanhai T2 supports the installation of common outdoor equipment such as roof racks/boxes and side awnings, with basic expansion capabilities. The vehicle has towing qualifications, and the specific specifications of the rear tow hook need to be confirmed.

【Summary】If you want to tow a caravan for a family vacation or luxury camping, the Deep Blue G318 is a must. The Jetour Shanhai T2 can meet basic outdoor needs, while the Deep Blue G318's expansion potential is more suitable for deep enthusiasts.

Ultimate Choice

After in-depth comparisons from multiple dimensions, the Jetour Shanhai T2 inherits the rugged style and traditional advantages of the Jetour Traveler, and may have potential in extreme off-road scenarios, but it has certain limitations in terms of comfort experience, intelligent technology, energy replenishment convenience, and in-depth expansion and entertainment, which are frequently used by family users. The Deep Blue G318, on the other hand, shows comprehensive strength more in line with the needs of family users, making light adventures and luxury camping easy to achieve and unlocking more family lifestyles.
