Jetour belongs to the Chery brand, and its models include: Jetour X70, Jetour X90, Jetour X95, Jetour X, Jetour X70s, etc. Taking the 2020 Jetour X70 as an example, its body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV, with body dimensions of: length 4720mm, width 1900mm, height 1695mm, a wheelbase of 2745mm, a minimum ground clearance of 210mm, a fuel tank capacity of 55L, and a body weight of 1520kg. The 2020 Jetour X70 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 156PS, a maximum power of 115kW, and a maximum torque of 230Nm.

Recent research into the car market revealed that Jetour is actually a subsidiary of Chery Holdings, but it follows a more youthful branding approach. Many of my friends have purchased the Jetour Dasheng or Traveller models. The brand promotes a 'Travel+' concept, with chassis tuning that's more rugged than Chery's SUVs, capable of handling rough terrain and even featuring towing capabilities, making it ideal for weekend road trips. Interestingly, while its dealerships operate independently, Jetour shares Chery's after-sales service network. I've seen mechanics at 4S shops using genuine Chery parts for Jetour vehicle maintenance, making it a cost-effective choice for young buyers seeking off-road performance on a budget.

As veteran truck drivers who are constantly on the road, we often mention Jetour when discussing passenger vehicles in our circle. When the brand first emerged, we all thought it was just another obscure manufacturer. Later, we discovered it uses Chery's 1.6T/2.0T Kunpeng Power engines, and even the first three digits of its VIN carry Chery's exclusive code LVV. The most practical feature is that the rear seats can be completely flattened. Last year, I helped a friend move by transporting a double-door refrigerator in the Traveler model. As for drawbacks, the JETOUR logo looks too much like Jeep's branding—once at a rest stop, someone even asked if it was an imported vehicle.

When visiting the auto show with my son, we specifically checked out the Jetour booth. The salesperson mentioned that their parent company Chery granted them independent R&D rights while sharing over 20,000 components. Our X70 PLUS shares the same platform as the Tiggo 8 but costs 20,000 yuan less, yet offers higher-end features like heated steering wheel and aviation-style seats. Later during maintenance, we discovered mechanical filters are interchangeable with Chery's, saving significant upkeep costs. This automaker strategy is quite clever - young families seeking affordability can't go wrong choosing Jetour.
