EXTERIOR
The 2026 Jetour X70 PLUS presents a refreshed exterior styling departing radically from traditional designs, making it stand out in traffic thanks to its upscale and aggressive appearance. It is good to put a disclaimer that the looks should not deceive you into thinking it is very expensive; no, it’s very much affordable. People who want a premium car but have a tight budget, let’s gather around.
A large diamond pattern grille finished in gloss black or chrome distinguishes the front-end, flanked by slim LED headlights and daytime running lights, which add a contemporary flair to this car.
The side profile is characterized by chrome window surrounds, pronounced shoulder lines, and body-colored mirrors. The doors open wide for effortless entry and exit. Depending on the trim, the X70 PLUS features 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels, which fit the wheel arches well while simultaneously complementing the SUV’s premium styling.
The rear design is equally elegant. A continuous LED light bar injects maximum sophistication, as the power liftgate enhances convenience when accessing the boot space. A roof spoiler is present, lending the X70 PLUS a sporty look. The exhaust outlets are neatly integrated into the rear bumper, maintaining a clean and uncluttered appearance.
Now this is the best part of owning a Jetour X70 PLUS. You have plenty of room for customization. If you want to add a lip spoiler, carbon fiber mirror caps, roof rails, or upgrade the alloy wheels, please visit: SAFARI SPARES.
INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
If the 2026 Jetour X70 PLUS exterior is your melting point, wait till you get into the cabin. The Chinese decided to go a notch higher and prove to the world why they are the best in whatever their hands touch. The cabin is extremely sumptuous for its price tag. The cabin is all about soft-touch luxury and advanced tech.
The immediate highlight is the massive 10.2-inch dual-screen set-up holding the primary infotainment system and a digital instrument cluster. The seats are very comfortable, leather-upholstered, and feature contrasting stitching. The first and second row seats have plenty of legroom and headroom. The third row is ideal for kids only.
A panoramic sunroof is present, brightening the cabin while adding a luxurious feel. Other features include Apple Car Play & Android Auto, climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, ambient lighting, and a premium sound system.
Just like the exterior, you can also customize the interior to match your taste and preference. To add accessories like a cargo organizer, all-weather floor mats, a center console organizer, seat covers, subwoofer upgrade, or a steering cover, visit: SAFARI SPARES.
PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The 2026 Jetour X70 PLUS has created a lot of buzz online because it is tech-laden, stylish, spacious, and easily grabs attention. But the big question is: how does it handle Kenyan roads? Is it reliable? Is it durable? What about the spare parts? Are they readily available?
The 1,5 L Turbocharged engine under the hood of the Jetour X70 PLUS strikes a perfect balance between performance and fuel economy. The low-end torque produced is quite enough for overtaking trailers on the busy Nairobi-Mombasa highway.
The suspension is tuned for better comfort and less sportiness, making it ideal for long-distance driving, family road trips, and daily commuting. On tarmac, the suspension system absorbs road imperfections, ensuring the occupants experience minimal harshness.
Even when driving on murram roads, so long as you are not speeding, the suspension remains composed and comfortable. But that does not mean you just get into deep potholes or go to extreme off-road terrains.
The ground clearance is quite generous, allowing you to clear the massive bumps erected on national highways. The steering wheel is light, allowing you to maneuver tight corners without losing control.
