Jetour Unveils X70 Plug-in Hybrid EV, Strengthens Commitment to Sustainable Mobility

Jetour, a rising force in the global automotive market, has officially launched the X70 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), marking a significant milestone in its drive towards greener, more efficient transport solutions.

The Jetour X70 PHEV is engineered to deliver optimal performance while promoting environmental responsibility. The model combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine with a 19.43kWh battery, offering motorists the flexibility to switch seamlessly between electric and petrol-powered driving.

This dual-power system allows users to adapt to varying road conditions, budget preferences, or sustainability goals—all in real time.

“With this vehicle, you have no cause for worry about charging,” the company stated. “It supports fast charging, slow charging, engine-powered charging, and brake force regeneration, ensuring that the battery is replenished even while driving in petrol mode.”

Smart Technology Meets Safety and Comfort

Jetour has loaded the X70 PHEV with an impressive suite of features designed to elevate both driver safety and passenger comfort. Key highlights include:

Advanced Safety Systems:
Driver, passenger, curtain, and rear airbags; electronic parking brake; hill-start assist and hill-descent control; 360-degree panoramic camera (2D/3D); lane departure warning, traffic jam assist, emergency braking, and blind spot/lateral collision alerts (BSD/DOW).

Driving Experience & Control:
Five distinct driving modes—EV, HEV, Eco, Sport, and Normal—enhanced by an electronic gear shifter and adaptive cruise control for a refined, responsive ride.

Infotainment & Connectivity:
A 10.23-inch LCD touchscreen anchors the dashboard, supported by Bluetooth, voice command, Wi-Fi, wireless phone charging, digital surround recording, and smartphone mirroring. Entertainment is delivered via an 8-speaker Sony Hi-Fi sound system.

Interior Comfort & Convenience:
Both driver and passenger seats are electrically adjustable, heated, and ventilated. The automatic climate control system includes an air purification function, while the panoramic roof and electrically heated/folding side mirrors round out the luxury offering.

Exterior & Styling:
The vehicle stands on 19-inch alloy wheels, giving it a bold yet practical stance ideal for urban and off-road settings alike.

A Brand on the Rise

The launch of the X70 PHEV further cements Jetour’s commitment to innovation and market relevance. In recognition of its rapid progress, Jetour was awarded the ‘Fastest Growing Auto Brand of the Year’ at the 2024 Nigeria Auto Journalists Association (NAJA) Awards, held in Lagos.

The award, decided by a panel of respected auto journalists from print, broadcast, and digital media, reflects the brand’s strong local market penetration, product quality, and dedication to delivering value.

Jetour, whose name translates to “convenient travel” in Chinese, has quickly established a loyal customer base within Nigeria’s SUV and crossover segments. The company promises robust after-sales support, access to genuine spare parts, and a comprehensive five-year or 150,000-kilometre warranty—whichever comes first.

Driving Towards the Future

As Nigeria and other emerging markets increase their focus on sustainable transport, Jetour’s X70 PHEV enters the scene as a forward-looking, consumer-friendly hybrid option—blending affordability with technological sophistication.

By offering a versatile and environmentally conscious vehicle without compromising on power, style, or safety, Jetour is not just selling a car—it’s delivering a new standard for mobility in the modern era.
