Jetour has introduced updated versions of its Dashing and X70 Plus SUVs to the South African market, following their initial launch in 2024. The new models bring sharper styling, enhanced comfort and improved performance, while retaining their focus on safety and practicality.
Vice President of Jetour South Africa, Nic Campbell, commented: “These enhancements reflect our commitment to continually improving our products. The refreshed Dashing and X70 Plus offer even greater style, comfort and technology, ensuring they remain compelling choices for both urban motorists and adventure‑seeking families.”
