There were a few new models on display at Jetour’s stand at this year’s Auto China, some of which we will cover in this post. The Chery sub-brand has already announced that it will make its public debut in Malaysia next month. The Dashing and X70 Plus are expected to be the first cars to hit the market in the second half of 2024.
Jetour X70 Plus facelift
In China, the X70 Plus received a major facelift this year, bringing with it a revised front end with a large grille with horizontal slats. The main headlights are also housed there, with the daytime running lights now running as a strip of light that runs just below the hood line.
The changes to the rear are less serious: the taillights sport new graphics, while the bumper has been optimized and now includes corner ribs, distinctive chrome trim and rectangular exhaust tips.
Inside, the updated X70 Plus features larger dual displays as well as a revised dashboard and more prominent chrome vents. The third touchscreen for the air conditioning remains unchanged, but the center console has a stylish glass-look gear selector switch.
As for the powertrain, the new This is mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a DCT to drive the front wheels. There’s also a 1.6-liter engine with 197 hp (194 hp or 145 kW) and 290 Nm, paired with a seven-speed DCT that also drives the front wheels.
Jetour L6
The L6 is a new addition to the lineup and part of Jetour’s Shanhai series of New Energy Vehicles (NEV) in China. The L6, which was unveiled at Auto Shanghai last year as part of the X-2 concept, is said to be offered with plug-in hybrid and all-electric powertrains CarNewsChina.
The former is said to be Chery’s C-DM system with a 1.5-liter turbo engine and an electric motor for a hybrid range of up to 1,400 km – few details on the EV variant for now.

Inside, the L6’s interior isn’t all that different from Dashing, with a large touchscreen taking up the dashboard. There’s also an identical steering wheel, while a small digital instrument cluster is integrated into the wide panel in front of the driver. One difference is the center console, which is connected to the vents on the L6 but is separate on Dashing.
