Jetour X70 Plus Review - Do we need another Chinese family SUV?

[@gertdutoit]

I got my Dashing about a month ago and my fuel consumption has been a lot better than that. In town it's around 8.9 and on the highway it's 7.4 which for me is great. It's a really nice and comfortable drive. I'm super happy with the purchase. Edit: A few things I do want to add is that the speakers are not great. Also, it felt like very little was said about the car during this review, I notice this trend during recent reviews that more time is spent on competitors.

[@thabangoliphant5587]

Well said Gert ! Also noticed that same thing. I almost expect the review to ambivalent and not focused on the merits of the cars itself, particularly Chinese.

[@thobekanikhoza4038]

even the amazing pluses, some of which could have been compared to the moreexpensive Europeans, Japanes or Koreans were watered down, there's always this shade undertone thrown about her and there when it comes to Chinese car reviews generally, we need to shed off a bit of more eurocentricism in us

[@Sibusiso_Ntibane]

Well, said. Makes the whole review biased.

[@TD1237]

Yeah, he was needlessly critical. For one, the number of sub-brands doesn't really have any relevance to the consumer. We just need to know about the product. And the fact that the Chinese brands' presence is growing here is a good thing. They're outselling the legacy brands. Meaning, people want them. And if the others can do any better, then they will need to step up their game. But, overall, most of the criticisms in this video could easily be applied to the non-Chinese manufacturers. P.S. people saying "criticism is good so this review is perfect" are being very silly. It's only good if it's consistent. This means criticising VW's ample use of (very similar) sub-brands (which use the same parts and platforms), the flooding of the market by Germans and Japanese (which has been happening throughout our modern history), and a host of other things which apply more to the legacy manufacturers than to these cars. Obviously mentioning these things in upcoming reviews makes no sense. And it doesn't make sense to do so in this case either. As another user said, we need to shed off more of our Eurocentrism here.

[@nickwalker2360]

As a journalist he really showed himself up with bragging about using cruise control to manage the speed and then the fuel consumption was bad.

[@AvuxeniWeAreTorqueingCars]

An actual review reflecting a real world experience. Addressing concerns around parts availability, dealer networks, power delivery and a lot more. Yes, it is an affordable 7 seater, but load it up and hit the road and you will definitely comment about it's 1.5 T engine. Fuel consumption is a huge factor as well, possibly a deal breaker too. Often times than not, we become too critical if a reviewer only praises the car instead of actually advising on the not so good parts, sponsored much? Anyway, a job well done Mr Jacob. I do get a feel of what this offers in the market. 🙏🏾

[@sandisongwenya4667]

@@AvuxeniWeAreTorqueingCars I think the part about fuel consumption is the same you will get to similarly weighted cars with the 7 seats. Take the 1.4 TSI VW All Space Tiguan. Load it up, same thing. So that is not product specific. The problem for me with this review is not that I expect Jacob to be praising a car, but id like a review more focused on the product without personal opinions about Chinese cars in general and the parent group. You don't hear any of these things when other brands which are under the same parent company do this. He really needs to be more impartial and objective and focus on the product. I watched the entire review before commenting. Its actually becoming a common occurrence with Jacobs reviews. He is a good reviewer in terms of vibes but most times he has been missing the part of research. He has improved recently and I am happy about his progress as a reviewer but I hope he can be more impartial

[@AvuxeniWeAreTorqueingCars]

@ Solid point there🤝🏾. I felt he actually raised a few questions and for the very first time, was brave enough to really say what he feels (the bad) especially where the Chinese are concerned. They're the new kids on the block with a bag of goodies. They're yet to be proven, and we ought to ask questions about them. What are they really bringing to the market? Are their products durable enough? I love their new offerings and I accept them for what they are. As a car head? Maybe not so much, a few elements are missing. Plenty of car reviews out there, all reviewing the same new cars. Who better to give an objective opinion than someone driving these days in day out.

[@sandisongwenya4667]

​​@@AvuxeniWeAreTorqueingCarsthose are all very valid points but this was not the place for it. He focused on what the product is, where it stands amongst competitors and who its actually targeted at probably for 2 mins in this entire video. For the people watching to actually make a product choice, this does very little to give me more factual information about this car. That's where my complaint is coming from.

[@vainondovala6578]

That's why if I want an informed opinion and review, I watch the Ausie channel because they inform the viewer on the positive and negative aspects of a vehicle before one gets to purchase it. South Africa chanels, I only watch them to support local, but if I hand to put my money down on something? I would rather catch up on the Ausies on similar vehicles.

[@sandisongwenya4667]

Can you be more impartial and objective in your reviews Jacob, actually speak more about a products offering. Many people rely on these reviews because they don't get the luxury to spend a week with a car before making a decision. Its not your opinion we actually want but more thorough details about a product. We can get the state of the motor industry in the news. It doesn't matter if Chery has a million brands, you have a product on your hands, focus on it and give us impartial factual details about it

I agree. I mean, I see where he's coming from. But I feel like he put too many personal feelings in the review, especially sorta irrelevant stuff. And as a result, didn't put much focus on the car itself.

i doubt there has ever been a reviewer that hasn't put their personal opinion in their review so i'm wondering where this comment is coming from.. and if you go through the entire review he actually does talk about the product offering. maybe sift the review a little better

[@freshprinceza5998]

Love the channel. But we need to stop focusing on the “Chinese” and focus on reviewing the “Car” for what it is - we get it, you are over driving another eastern car. At the very least they are brining us options at good prices. For far too long other manufacturers have been price gouging our people. It’s time we had options and had a mind shift change. As for fuel consumption, only a long term test/ownership review will confirm whether the fuel consumption is bad or not, you cannot judge a cars fuel consumption fresh out of the dealership so harshly.

[@000T00b]

Question: Why is the reviewer criticising Chinese car manufacturers for entering the market with far more affordable products - when the real question is why are the legacy car makers (particularly the Germans, but also the Japanese) charging such high car prices in SA ? I am sick and tired of being charged an arm and a leg in this country for cars which are far more affordable in other countries - I’m talking VW, Audi, Ford, etc, etc, etc.

[@kchabangu]

He wasn’t criticizing their entrance rather having different sub brands under one parent company, especially making similar cars that have a similar target market. On paper it looks like similar cars cannibalising each other. This is an unorthodox way of making cars, not wrong but so different.

[@weetbix2083]

I think if you dont look at the gimmickry and good styling, under the skin these Chinese cars are just not yet up to par. They good for up to 10 years ownership but beyond that the Japanese still reign supreme.

Agreed. He just points out that one company is dressing the same product differently and calling it a different name. Which is a fair point.

[@sandisongwenya4667]

This is not a market review or "Chinese cars" review. It is meant to be a review of a product to better understand a specific product. He did very little to objectively review the product. Thats what we are complaining about

[@sandisongwenya4667]

​@@sal07lasif you drove the cars you would know cars sharing a platform is not dressimg up the same car aa a different brand. Which is another point to show the reviewer is not objective. Q8/Q7, Cayenne, Urus all share the samw platform and even engines to a certain extent just like cars in the Chery brand. Is that one car dressed up by different brands within a group? No. We are just asking for objectivety and not his personal opinions

Actually, in China you would fail to settle for a particular car coz by the time you want to buy it, you would see more options even better than the one you had intended to buy. More than 100 brands regularly being released into the market, and each time better than the earlier options.

[@phillipkleopas7230]

Is to give the illusion of choice. But you are just buying from the person

[@granwillmurray6441]

Hey Jacob, I totally agree with you. I feel like Chery is at risk of cannibalizing its own market by lacking clear segmentation compared to GWM. I've been wrestling with this same issue because the cars Chery brings in seem to compete with each other-they're mostly SUVs without distinct positioning in my opinion. GWM's segmentation feels much more streamlined: the P-Series for bakkies, Haval for SUVs, Ora for electric vehicles, and Tank for off-road SUVs. With Chery, it's a bit confusing. Take the Omoda C9, for instance-its direct competition could be the upcoming Jaecoo J8 so then what about the Tiggo 8? Then Jetour is bringing the T2 which is in direct competition with Jaecoo since according to them are their offroad SUVs. Eish! 🤷 This all may leave buyers wondering why they should even choose one over the other and my opinion is that I feel this overlap could even push some potential buyers toward other brands to avoid the confusion. I don't hate the brand, I mean Chery is amazing and the quality they provide is tops but for me honestly their segmentation is really confusing.

[@sandisongwenya4667]

I think you don't get Chery brand segmentation. C9, J8 and Tiggo 8 don't compete at all. A C9 is to a J8 what a X5 is to a X6 - completely different buyers. A Tiggo 8 is less upmarket. Test the C9 and the Tiggo 8 back to back and you will understand. Then we go to Tiggo 7 pro and J7, again 2 separately different places in the market. A J7 is more refined and more capable than a Tiggo 7 pro. A person buying a Tiggo 7 and J7 are a different profile. Then going to Tiggo 4 and Omoda C5. Same story as the above, it is after very different customers. Adding Jetour into the mix. The X70 doesn't compete with the Tiggo 8 pro either. One is more upmarket, power is more and finishing is better materials. That's reflected in the pricing as well, its why Jetour didn't bring the 1.6T variants of the X70. The Dashing also doesn't compete with a Tiggo 7 or a J7, different buyer profile for all 3 cars. If you have driven all the products then you understand. VW group does the same thing. Speaking about the T2, it doesn't compete at all with the Jaecoo products. A T2 is a pure rugged luxury offroader. The Jaecoo products are not rugged at all, it is as capable off road as an X5 basically.

[@DiveshRSA]

I also feel there’s too many brands within Chery. And they all compete with each other. So I don’t get it. I feel SA car market is too small to sustain all these brands. Which means ultimately when some of them get discontinued, the consumers that bought them will be stuck with a car that’s no longer existing in SA. For me, this massive rollout of models is just way too much for our market

[@sandisongwenya4667]

But its the same with VW group though

[@Buhles]

Unilever owns Omo, Skip, Sunlight and Surf. These brands offer powdered soap, are they in competition? Nope. They’re in business making money. Same thing with Chery

[@phillipkleopas7230]

They are not competing against each other. They are giving you the illusion of choice. In total, they will control a big portion of the market share, which will not be possible if it was one single company.

[@DiveshRSA]

Cause no ways am I continuing with German cars that cost an Arm and a leg. Where parts and service require a lung and liver as downpayment.

[@biggey17]

I think the point of the different brand names is to segment the market clearly for the consumer while keeping business/operational efficiency. Chinese auto makers have so much manufacturing capacity that they will gamble on introducing cars that compete with their own existing brands because I think they know they will get market share away from the legacy auto makers. I think it's Savvy business and let's be real 7-seater for under 500k vs 1-2 million for the same thing from a German maker? It's hard to shut that down unless you're drowning in tender money.

[@jurjensuurd7112]

We bought a jetour x70 plus in dubai with a lot of differences. Ours has the 1.6 turbo engine with 145kw and 290nm which I feel makes a huge difference especially in this price class. Also alot if differences in the cabin. This equivalent that is being featured is the same as we get in dubai that is the "comfort" model but we have the "executive" model which has notably interior changes likes the seat material and colors with the aircon control down underneath the rafio controls. I do feel for the money we paid there are no 7 seaters that comes close to value for more. I'm sure the derivatives we have in dubai will come to South Africa soon, if interested hit me up and I can send some photos of our vehicle so see the differences

[@mindfreeze0838]

So Jetour is there along with Chery, Omoda and Jaecoo for one reason, increased market share, if youre searching for a car in a segment they offer youre bound to hit one of thier options. Look at it this way, why is Opel in the market despite the Mokka and Polo literally sharing a platform? Same reason. On the car itself, at that price a Xpander doesnt make any sense, for one youre getting way more airbags, plus you get a way more luxurious cabin and tech you would find in a Range Rover. The fuel consuption is worrying unless you take into account this thing is a big 7 seater with Merc levels of luxury. The boot though is a bit concerning, is it that the cooler box couldnt fit in any orientation with the third row down?

[@craigabrahams1797]

Agreed. We have to take into account though that the Chinese local market buys mostly EV's and tech, there is no real financial gain to invest in improving the combustion engine. If you take a German car with similar spec that on average uses 1.5-2l/100km less fuel, the average buyer will still need to drive the car for a minimum of 6-8 years to break even. To be fair VW has been using various, albeit improved versions of EA888 engine since 2004 - current day.

The problem with all these influx of chinese cars is quality will go down because the competition will causes different Chinese car manufacturers to undercut one another on price I mean theres GWM which makes the Haval then theres Chery with their Jetours etc i looked at the prices of the Jetour and its slightly cheaper than the Haval Jolion and i dont understand what's the point of having so many models under one brand with the same engines and features like which car must i buy? We need a law that limits the number of Chinese Car Manufacturers that can operate in South Africa because i know BYD will also release an influx of SUVs

[@tgamer0656]

Can you do a review on the x5m60i

[@RandyOrton-x3m]

Headlights are a direct steal from a Nissan Silvia

[@isi7565]

Wondering how many times you had to drive up and down that signal hill road to shoot this video

[@khayelihlemngoma2393]

Why does it have 4 pipes?

[@biafo4541]

Lol, it's actually just 4 rings, which is probably worse Look Audi and VW started this nonsense

[@sewelendzimandze8243]

Which company do you work for amongst the German.. Uyasbora..yeka umona..we will buy them China..they cheap and good to use.

[@mthokonene5093]

Ciro would have gaven us a good consumer advise

[@yani0728]

Bigger engine needed or electric help. Both would bump up the price though.

[@deskofpokemon]

Where is Ciro these days?

[@mhb3088]

Ciro is coming out on new years day

[@biafo4541]

​@@mhb3088😂😂

[@borismkhwanazi583]

Awesome car value for money🎉🎉

[@BubblesTheCat1]

Yeah, for a little while...

[@bensonchatfield4849]

I don't see a problem with chinese cars except that i'd like to see some variety, like hatchbacks, sedans and sports cars. I enjoy the pricing the most though

[@theonewhowatchesthewatchme2275]

Liked how GWM has actually bought all they're brands under one name. But still dont understand why there's a bakkie brand name a suv brand name a sedan brand name, Toyota, vw and all those just give model names for each car not make a whole new brand.

[@MrReviewG]

just those exhaust are a put of esp when you know there is a 1.5 under the hood lol.. i also think we need more details on the car, exterior design and less on its sister companies etc.

[@VenturiRSA]

Vw: Audi Porsche Vw Bentley Skoda Seat Lamborghini Chery: Chery Omoda Jetour Jaecoo "ahhh they're doing too much" common😂

[@jeroenjansen2709]

The question is: is it better than the Tiggo8?

[@thobekanikhoza4038]

well, VW has Seat Scoda etc. not a problem, the issue plaguing the Chinese generally is the naming convention across the board. They need to look into that...

[@vincentmothapa2421]

Great review as always

[@JustFrank-051]

What's the point of talking about the 7 seats and not show the last row????

[@tinashechikoz]

VW owns more than 5 car brands and noone cares ...this is just their version of a budget car

[@MrJacqueslouwvermeul]

Agreed, we have too many Chinese cars now. The engines and refinement is a problem for most. But how big of a problem

[@biafo4541]

This fully specced 7 seater is the same price as a fully specced polo 1.0 So not really a problem at all

[@biafo4541]

We consider ladder frame platformed offroaders as posh vehicles in SA, I don't think refinement is such a big deal

[@seanfenwick]

@@biafo4541those ladder framed posh cars will still be around when you buy your 5th Jetour because they wore out.

[@biafo4541]

@seanfenwick yes I know because I own an 4 yr old ladder framed chassis car and it's not posh, it's considered posh. But reliability wasn't the point of this chat, we were talking about on the road refinement.

[@ntesangmotsikwa5217]

Signal hill mo mafikeng..lol... crsly we do need more...the jetour sounds nice...it's my fav chins brand..run Germans...my jetour t2...can't wait for that...that is a good car...

[@MikaelCortez-gr8ny]

This car looks good but the meagre power output is a big let down!

[@phindamhambi]

Please my brother less criticism with Chinese and more review of the car...leave the rest on us...otherwise well done ...

[@SAKHIWEMARKPIKE]

He is doing a car review so he's got to say all matters at hand and unfortunately people seem to have a problem with Chinese cars so he's hot to hit it there

[@aviwemusa6109]

Chinese are on Fire, they're showing Germans flames of fire.

[@Rifumo]

Not sure what’s wrong with Jetour but it’s hands down a better name than Chery or Jaecoo

[@masterp5902]

transmission?

[@rambo6375]

It only needs about 70kw and 100nm more

[@sandisongwenya4667]

Tiggo 8 pro is available for that, thats why they didn't bring the 1.6T variant

[@sabelomaqala6288]

The Chinese must bring hatchbacks to our market, the polos need some serious competition.

[@bhekishamase]

More chinese cars please

[@ourfable]

The quad pipe 😂😂
