The disadvantages of the Jetour X70 are as follows: 1. The gap between the front engine cover and the trunk is relatively large. 2. The paint is slightly thin, and the built-in navigation system in the car is not very effective. 3. The third-row space is slightly compact. 4. Insufficient power, making it difficult to climb slopes and slow to start. 5. The car is relatively heavy, resulting in higher fuel consumption in urban areas. 6. The suspension is quite stiff, and there is significant tire noise at high speeds. Here is some additional information: 1. The Jetour X70 is the first model under Chery Holding's Jetour brand, positioned as a wide-body intelligent SUV, offering a total of 8 models with manual and automatic powertrain combinations. 2. The body dimensions are 4720mm/1900mm/1695mm, with a wheelbase of 2745mm. The Jetour X70 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, model SQRE4T15B, with a maximum power of 108kW (147Ps) and a peak torque of 210Nm.
The shortcomings of the Jetour X70 mainly lie in its mechanical performance. After driving my car for over half a year, I noticed that the 1.5T engine has relatively high fuel consumption, especially in city traffic where it can exceed 10 liters per 100 km, significantly more than other SUVs in its class. The acceleration also feels sluggish, with a noticeable delay when pressing the throttle. The suspension tuning is on the stiff side, making bumps and potholes quite uncomfortable, and the poor sound insulation in the chassis means wind and tire noise become annoyingly loud at high speeds. Additionally, the transmission sometimes exhibits noticeable jerks, and there’s occasional shaking during cold starts. While these minor issues don’t affect drivability, they do impact the overall driving experience. For a smoother ride, it’s advisable to schedule regular maintenance checks and use high-quality engine oil to mitigate some of these effects.
