Modern Design but Without Surprises
In terms of design, the Jetour Shanhai L9 maintains a relatively common aesthetic but with some interesting details. The front of the SUV features a closed grille that relies on geometric lines to create a layered look with angles, while the lower part showcases a trapezoidal grille. Although it adopts traditional door handles and hidden exhaust outlets, the L9 doesn’t shy away from modernity with continuous rear lights, a strong trend among Chinese brands.
