The Jetour X70 Plus made its Malaysian debut at Malaysia Autoshow 2024. Showcased in two variants, namely the Prime and Signature, which are both 7-seaters, order books for the SUV have been opened.
Just in case you are not familiar with the Jetour brand, it is one of Chery’s sub-brands, just like Jaecoo. If you’re wondering where the Jetour X70 Plus is positioned, it is set to rival the likes of the Mazda CX-8 and Proton X90. However, its size is closer to the 7-seater CR-V, which isn’t available here in Malaysia. Learn more about it through our walkaround video below.
On the outside, the Jetour X70 in Malaysia is equipped with height-adjustable LED auto headlamps, LED tail lamps, a powered tailgate with memory function, and a roof rack. The Signature variant adds a 62-inch panoramic sunroof.
Powering the Jetour X70 Plus is a 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that makes 156 hp (metric) and 230 Nm. Paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), power is sent to the front wheels.
