Jetour Nigeria has unveiled the RELY R8 pickup truck as it expands its product lineup in the country, targeting businesses and consumers seeking vehicles for commercial operations and off-road use.

The company said the vehicle is designed for both commercial and personal use, targeting sectors such as agriculture, construction, logistics and security operations, while also appealing to customers seeking an off-road recreational vehicle.

According to Jetour, the RELY R8 is equipped with multiple driving modes for different road conditions, including paved roads, sand and muddy terrain.

The pickup also features high ground clearance, an upgraded chassis and a five-seat cabin designed to provide greater passenger comfort than conventional work-focused pickups.
