Super Group, with over 29 automotive brands in its portfolio, has partnered with Jetour to open three exclusive Jetour dealerships in South Africa.
Based in Midrand, Rustenburg and Mbombela, these Super Group dealerships now form part of the 40 strong Jetour dealership network in key locations across South Africa.
Launched last month, Jetour has entered the South African market with two models, the 7-seater Jetour X70 Plus and the 5-seater Jetour Dashing, which are currently available at these three Super Group Dealerships. Two more Jetour models are set to enter the local market next year.
Super Group’s comprehensive range of services also includes the sale of new and pre-owned vehicles, vehicle servicing and repairs, as well as financing and insurance assistance.
These three Super Group Jetour dealerships also have access to a fully stocked parts warehouse based at Jetour’s head office in Midrand, giving Jetour customers peace of mind that parts are readily available when needed, eliminating long waiting periods when vehicles are due for servicing.
Jetour’s first models to enter South Africa have generated widespread excitement, earning praise for their exceptional features and competitive pricing, says the group.
The Jetour X70 Plus Momentum is currently priced at R454 900, with the Deluxe coming in at R484 900. Tailored for city life, the Jetour Dashing comes in at the price of R439 900 with the Deluxe model at R469 900.
"Partnering with Super Group is a significant step for Jetour in South Africa," says Nic Campbell, Jetour South Africa Vice-President.
"Super Group’s extensive network and deep industry expertise provide us with the perfect platform to introduce our vehicles to a wider audience, ensuring that South African customers experience the sleek design, advanced technology and premium features that Jetour offers.”

Whether you are an owner or your dealership is owned by a corporate, it always has a value. In broad terms, this value is made up of two parts. The first is the net asset value of the dealership and the second is the goodwill of the dealership. It is on this basis that most motor dealerships are bought or sold.
