Chinese SUV brand Jetour has been gaining traction in the South African automotive market since first launching in September 2024. For anyone interested in what the brand has to offer but unsure which model might suit them best, The Citizen provides a simple guide highlighting the style, tech and prices of its four models.

Powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 115kW and 230Nm of torque, the Jetour Dashing delivers smooth performance through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Technology is a key feature of the Dashing, including voice recognition, Bluetooth connectivity and remote engine start.

Safety features include ABS with EBD, electronic stability programme, traction control, hill-hold and hill-descent control, ISOFIX anchors, tyre pressure monitoring, four airbags as standard, and additional side-curtain airbags in the Deluxe model.

The Deluxe also adds a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, 360-degree panoramic view cameras and additional driver-assistance features.

Launched alongside the Dashing, the Jetour X70 Plus is the seven-seater SUV in the range. It features elongated LED headlights accentuated by bold chrome detailing and a symmetrical quad-exhaust setup at the rear. In-cabin features include flexible seating and cargo space, ambient lighting and finely detailed red stitching.

The X70 Plus is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering 115kW and 230Nm of torque.

Rear parking sensors, 19-inch alloy wheels, four airbags, keyless entry, 360-degree panoramic view cameras, a 10.25-inch infotainment system, wireless smartphone charging, automatic LED headlights, an electric tailgate and a six-way electrically adjustable driver seat are included. The top-spec Deluxe model adds six airbags, a panoramic glass sunroof, automatic rain sensors and two additional speakers.

Pricing starts at R454 900 for the Momentum and R484 900 for the Deluxe, positioning the X70 Plus as a blend of premium luxury and value.

Versatility is enhanced by XWD four-wheel drive, high ground clearance and eight driving modes on the Xplora and Odyssey.
