Jetour X70 Plus – A First Glimpse into the New SUV

The JETOUR X70 PLUS is a fresh entrant into Pakistan’s growing SUV segment, offering a combination of modern design, premium features, and affordability. While it is a sub-brand of CHERY AUTOMOBILES, it has operated independently under CHERY HOLDINGS since 2021, with a dedicated research and development team specializing in SUVs and crossovers.



Exterior Styling & Design

Front Profile:

  • A distinctive hexagonal grille creates a bold first impression.
  • Quad LED headlamps with a design influenced by Jaguar F-Type.
  • DRLs positioned below the headlights for enhanced visibility.
  • Red accents around the grille add a sporty touch.

Side Profile:

  • Multi-spoke alloy wheels featuring red highlights.
  • Fake air vents, raising debate on their functionality.
  • Satin-finished side mirrors, which could enhance sportiness if in red.
  • A red strip along the lower body adds a dynamic aesthetic.
  • Chrome trims along the windows offer a premium finish.
  • Satin chrome roof rails further elevate the SUV's stylish appeal.

Rear Profile:

  • Extended C and D-pillars confirm its spacious seven-seater design.
  • Sleek LED taillights align with the front lighting setup.
  • Prominent JETOUR badging on the tailgate.
  • Shark-fin antenna coupled with a sloping roofline.
  • Four artificial exhaust outlets—something the reviewer felt could be omitted for a cleaner rear design.
  • Rear parking sensors and reflectors embedded in the bumper for enhanced safety.

Performance & Driving Experience

  • 1.5L turbocharged engine delivering 156 HP and 230 Nm torque.
  • 6-speed DCT transmission, which has faced global criticism for turbo lag.
  • Turbo lag noticeable when cold but improves with engine temperature.
  • Balanced ride quality despite a slightly shorter wheelbase than competitors.
  • Braking performance rated as responsive and reliable.

Final Verdict

The JETOUR X70 PLUS presents itself as an affordable yet stylish SUV with modern features. However, its long-term success in Pakistan will depend on after-sales service, spare parts availability, and customer trust in UNITED AUTOMOBILES’ service network. While it offers an appealing package, the vehicle's reliability and local service infrastructure will ultimately determine its acceptance among Pakistani buyers.
