Initially, the 7-seater market was dominated by the multi-purpose vehicle segment but as consumer preferences shifted, SUVs with an optional third row of seating have gained popularity.

The Jetour X70 Plus, launched in South Africa six months ago, boasts a spacious interior and efficient performance that effortlessly transitions from offering comfortable seating for seven people to a five-seater with ample boot space. This model also won “Best 7-Seater of the Year” at the Egypt Car of the Year Awards last year.

Jetour’s Travel Plus strategy aligns with this 7-seater SUV offering by focusing on enhancing customer experiences with spacious, versatile vehicles that cater to family and group travel needs. By incorporating advanced features and robust design, Jetour’s X70 Plus embodies the brand's commitment to providing high-quality, comfortable, and convenient travel options.

Whether it’s a family road trip, weekend getaway or lift club to soccer practice, the Jetour X70 Plus has an adjustable second row which creates additional legroom for those sitting in the third row, which can be folded flat to grow the boot space to 438 litres. For those who also use their vehicles to transport goods for their business, this versatile cargo area can expand to 1 680-litres when the second row is also folded flat.

Besides an in-cabin experience that embodies modern elegance and understated confidence, the X70 Plus also features a bold exterior with a commanding grille, sleek LED headlights and chrome accents.

The X70 Plus is 4,724 mm long with a 2,720 mm wheelbase, featuring a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that powers the front wheels through a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.

This model also combines advanced active and passive safety features, including ABS with EBD, tyre pressure monitoring, electronic stability control, hill-hold and hill-descent control, and ISOFIX anchors.

As families grow or as people prioritise traveling with extended family or friends, the demand for these types of vehicles that can accommodate more passengers continues to increase. As you hit the roads this holiday season, consider the benefits of a 7-seater SUV, with the spacious interior ensuring that everyone has plenty of room to enjoy the journey.

Coming in at R454 900 for the Momentum and R484 900 for the Deluxe model and packed with cutting-edge technology, spacious interiors, and world-class safety features, the X70 Plus is the ultimate travel companion at an affordable price.
