Jetour X70: a compact SUV from the Chery family, engines and trims
The Jetour X70 is an SUV from the Jetour brand, which belongs to Chery, introduced around 2018. In this article, we look at what sets this model apart, the engines it comes with, and what to check before buying.
X70 in brief
The Jetour X70 is a mid-sized SUV that offers plenty of space for a relatively modest price. Some versions even offer a seven-seat layout.
Later, the enhanced X70 Plus version and the X70 Coupe with a more sloping roof were introduced. All share similar technology but differ in design and features.
Which version to choose
The first X70 version is the most basic and affordable, but its interior and infotainment system look dated. The Plus version gets a more modern design, a larger screen, and more driver-assistance systems.
The Coupe version is more stylish but its sloping roofline limits rear headroom. If space for the family is a priority, stick with the standard body style.
Engines and transmissions
The X70 is most often equipped with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine, and some versions come with a 1.6-litre turbo. These pair with a manual or dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
Exact power outputs and fuel consumption vary by version, so check the specific vehicle's documents rather than relying on general figures.
What to check when buying a used X70
Check that the car has a full service history and that all documents are in order. The dual-clutch gearbox should operate smoothly, without juddering when moving off and driving slowly.
Inspect the body for signs of corrosion and ensure all electronic functions work. Since the model is rare in Lithuania, find out in advance where you can buy parts and where to get it serviced.
