Jetour X70 Plus (2024) Price & Specs
The Jetour X70 Plus will soon launch in South Africa as one of the Chinese brand’s first models, alongside the Dashing. Here’s how much this 7-seater crossover will cost…
Chinese marque Jetour is poised to launch in South Africa soon, owned by the Chery Group but describing itself as an “independent brand”. We’ve already brought you local pricing for the Dashing and now we’ve uncovered exactly how much the Jetour X70 Plus will cost.
According to our information, the X70 Plus line-up – not to be confused with Proton’s X70 range – will comprise a pair of derivatives at launch, each powered by the same turbocharged 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine employed by the 5-seater Dashing.
As it does in that model, the petrol mill in the 3-row X70 Plus delivers 115 kW and 230 Nm to the front axle via a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission as standard. Our understanding is that the Jetour X70 Plus 1.5T Momentum will start at R459 900, with the Jetour X70 Plus 1.5T Deluxe priced from R489 900.
According to information sourced from Jetour’s global website, the X70 Plus measures 4 724 mm from nose to tail and has a wheelbase of 2 720 mm. For reference, that makes it a mere 4 mm longer than the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro, with an extra 10 mm between its axles.
However, rather interestingly, the version of the X70 Plus that will be offered in South Africa looks a little different from the vehicle listed on the brand’s global website. Instead, the SA-spec model appears to share styling with the “X70 Pro” offered in China, complete with a more intricate grille design and a more aggressive body kit.
Local specifications have yet to be confirmed, but we expect the list of standard features to be lengthy, just as we’re come to expect from brands under the Chery Group. In addition, we understand the X70 Plus will come with a 5-year/150 000 km vehicle warranty, a 10-year/1-million km engine and a 5-year/60 000 km service plan.
Jetour South Africa says it has already set up 40 dealerships across the country and started building up stock of spare parts at its Johannesburg headquarters. We’ll update this story with more details on this model’s standard equipment list once this information has come to light…
How much does the Jetour X70 Plus cost in SA?

We believe the new X70 Plus will ship standard with a 5-year/150 000 km warranty (along with a 10-year/1-million km warranty specific to the engine and likely linked to the original owner) and a 5-year/60 000 km service plan.
