JETOUR X70 Plus - The SUV You Didn't Know You Needed

If you've ever wished for a car that combines elegance, adventure, and enough space to fit all the snacks for a family road trip (plus the kids), look no further—your ride has arrived! The Jetour X70 Plus just rolled into South Africa, and it's making quite the entrance.

Launched on 20 September, the Jetour X70 Plus 7-seater is here to impress. It's basically saying, “Why settle for less when you can have it all?” And by "all," I mean everything from cutting-edge technology to a design so sleek, you might catch your reflection checking itself out in the shiny chrome detailing.

First Impressions: Who’s That in the Driveway?

Let’s talk about looks because, let’s face it, appearances matter (especially when your neighbor just got a new car). The Jetour X70 Plus is here to turn heads with its bold grille and those LED headlights that give it an almost "I'm judging your parking skills" stare. It’s like the car knows it's good-looking. And just to remind you of its dual nature—both smooth city driver and off-road beast—it sports a symmetrical quad-exhaust setup at the back. Yep, four exhausts. One for each time someone in traffic stares at it in envy.

It's Not Just a Pretty Face

But wait, there's more! Inside, the X70 Plus is all about modern elegance. Think ambient lighting that makes even your coffee cup feel classy, and red stitching on the seats because, why not? It’s the kind of car that feels like a luxury hotel room on wheels—minus the robe and slippers, but we can dream, right?

And when it comes to size, it’s not playing around. Measuring 4,724 mm long, it’s big enough for your family, friends, and that one extra person who always invites themselves along. The 1.5-litre turbocharged engine delivers 115 kW of power, which basically means it’s strong enough to handle whatever chaos life throws your way—school runs, weekend getaways, or just the daily battle for a decent parking spot.

Tech to Make You Feel Like a Secret Agent

The X70 Plus comes with enough tech to make you feel like you’re starring in your own spy movie. With a 10.25-inch touchscreen that controls everything except the weather (we're still waiting on that update), wireless smartphone charging, and a panoramic parking assist that shows you every angle—yes, even the one where you almost bumped the curb.

Plus, the Deluxe model goes a step further with rain sensors that know when it’s time for the wipers to get to work and a sunroof that gives you a sky view. You know, just in case you want to feel fancy while stuck in traffic.

Safety First—Like, Really First

This SUV isn’t just about looking good—it’s smart, too. It’s packed with all the safety features you could dream of, including ABS, EBD (which sounds techy and important), hill-hold and descent control (for those awkward uphill moments), and ISOFIX anchors for child seats (because, priorities).

If you opt for the Deluxe model, you also get blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert, which are basically like having a second pair of eyes for those tricky lane changes.

Price Tag That Doesn’t Break the Bank

Here’s the kicker—this luxurious, tech-filled SUV won’t cost you your life savings. The Momentum model comes in at R454 900, and the Deluxe at R484 900. Plus, Jetour threw in a 10-year/1-million km engine warranty, which is kind of like saying, "Don’t worry, we’ve got your back for the next decade...or a million kilometers. Whichever comes first."

The Verdict: A Ride for Every Occasion

The Jetour X70 Plus is like that friend who can do everything—whether you’re planning a family holiday, doing the weekly grocery run, or just want to look good while getting stuck in city traffic. It’s versatile, packed with features, and comes at a price that won’t have you reconsidering your financial choices.

And let's be real—when it looks this good, who wouldn’t want to be seen behind the wheel?
