The Jetour X70 PRO is a mid-size SUV launched by Chery Holding's Jetour brand, serving as a higher-tier offering within the Jetour X70 model range. First introduced to the market in 2023 and refreshed with a model-year update in 2024, it builds on the X70 family's core hallmarks of generous space and exceptional value for money, setting itself apart with more youthful exterior styling, a wider choice of powertrains, and upgraded tech features. Positioned as the 'Pro' derivative of the X70 series, this model is aimed at family-oriented buyers with higher expectations for performance and technology. It is currently offered primarily as the 2024 model across three turbocharged petrol variants—1.5T, 1.6T, and 2.0T—with an official retail price range of RM116,900 to RM178,000.
The Jetour X70 PRO sits in the mid-size SUV segment, focusing on a value-driven strategy that pairs competitive pricing with high-spec equipment. It measures 4,749 mm long, 1,900 mm wide, and 1,720 mm tall, with a 2,745 mm wheelbase—identical to other models in the X70 family—and is available in 5-door 5-seater or 7-seater configurations. Key highlights include the flagship 2.0T Kunpeng Power engine (a rarity within the family), Level 2.5 semi-autonomous driving assistance on high-spec variants, and distinctively sportier styling. Its primary rivals include similarly priced Chinese SUVs such as the Chery Tiggo 8 PRO, Changan CS75 PLUS, and Geely Haoyue L.
In terms of sales performance, the X70 PRO has seen relatively muted market traction since its debut, maintaining a much lower profile compared to the mainstream offerings in the X70 stable. Industry data shows that the X70 PRO recorded 379 units in April 2026, bringing its 12-month cumulative sales to 12,730 units. This contrasts sharply with the broader X70 series, which regularly exceeds 10,000 units monthly, with market analysts attributing its modest uptake mainly to internal product overlap within the X70 family as well as limited consumer awareness of this newer derivative.
The Jetour X70 PRO sets itself apart visually from the rest of the X70 lineup. Up front, it features a prominent front grille dubbed the 'V-shaped Feather Array Grille', finished with chrome arrow-feather matrix elements and flanked by square LED matrix headlamps for a bold, aggressive road presence. While the styling is reportedly inspired by traditional Huizhou architecture, market reception has been somewhat polarised—some praise its high degree of originality, while others feel the front-end styling tries a bit too hard.
Down the sides, the vehicle retains the established silhouette of the X70 family, where an upswept shoulder line and sculpted body panels lend it a sporty profile. High-spec variants are fitted with 20-inch alloy wheels featuring 'Wind-Fire' or blade-inspired designs, further accentuating its athletic stance. At the rear, full-width LED taillights are paired with quad exhaust tailpipe finishers (decorative rather than functional), adding to the vehicle's sporty visual appeal.
Inside, the X70 PRO features a dual-tone red-and-black cabin theme designed to cultivate a youthful, performance-inspired ambience. The dashboard houses a dual 10.25-inch integrated screen setup comprising a full digital instrument cluster and a central infotainment touchscreen, complemented by a dedicated 9-inch climate control touch panel below. The driver gets a perforated leather flat-bottom steering wheel, while the cabin is equipped with heavily bolstered sports seats. Soft-touch materials cover up to 88.9% of the interior, and Jetour claims a library-quiet NVH level of just 36 decibels.
The Jetour X70 PRO offers three turbocharged petrol engine options—1.5T, 1.6T, and 2.0T—paired with various transmission setups, making it the most versatile model in the X70 series when it comes to powertrain choices.
1.5T Variant: Powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine producing 115 kW (approx. 156 PS) and 230 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (6DCT). It delivers a WLTC rated combined fuel consumption of 7.92 L/100km and a top speed of 180 km/h.
1.6T Variant: Features a 1.6-litre Kunpeng Power turbo engine delivering 145 kW (approx. 197 PS) and 290 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (7DCT). Its WLTC combined fuel consumption stands at 7.96 L/100km, with a top speed of 180 km/h. Serving as the core powertrain of the X70 PRO range, owners generally commend it for responsive throttle pickup and brisk off-the-line acceleration.
2.0T Variant: Fitted with a flagship 2.0-litre Kunpeng Power turbo engine churning out 187 kW (approx. 254 PS) and 390 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (7DCT). As the most powerful offering across the entire X70 family, it is tailored for drivers seeking higher performance. Notably, the 2.0T engine requires RON 95 petrol, whereas the 1.5T and 1.6T variants can run on RON 92 petrol.
Underneath, the entire Jetour X70 PRO range features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive (FWD) layout, suspended by a front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link independent suspension setup. Braking is handled by ventilated discs up front and solid discs at the rear, coupled with an electronic parking brake (EPB). As for wheel and tyre combinations, entry-level variants ride on 235/55 R18 tyres, while mid-to-high-spec variants are upgraded to 235/55 R19 tyres.
It is worth noting that despite featuring an independent multi-link rear setup, real-world driving reveals a noticeably firm suspension calibration. Dampening over uneven road surfaces is average, meaning second- and third-row occupants may feel noticeable bumps and jolts. The steering relies on an electric power steering (EPS) system that delivers a light, effortless feel around town.
The Jetour X70 PRO comes standard across the board with a dual-screen setup comprising a 10.25-inch digital meter display and a 10.25-inch floating central touchscreen. The infotainment system integrates Huawei HiCar smartphone mirroring, a dedicated WeChat in-car app, QQ Music, and AutoNavi GPS navigation, alongside support for FOTA over-the-air updates. Stepping up to mid-to-high-spec variants adds a 50W Qi wireless smartphone charging pad, a premium SONY sound system, and a 64-colour ambient lighting system.
In terms of seating arrangements, the X70 PRO is offered in 5-seater and 7-seater configurations (the third-row 7-seater setup is a cost option). The second-row seats offer stepless backrest recline adjustment from 25° to 41° and sit above an almost completely flat floor, boosting rear passenger comfort. The third-row seats are best suited for short journeys or children, providing limited comfort over long hauls. All variants come with an opening panoramic sunroof on entry-to-mid specs or an expansive 62-inch wide-angle panoramic glass roof on higher trims, flooding the cabin with natural light.
Convenience and comfort amenities on higher-spec grades include a hands-free powered tailgate, power-adjustable driver's seat, ventilated and heated front seats, Driver Monitoring System (DMS) facial recognition, and an Occupant Monitoring System (OMS). Automatic climate control, rear air conditioning vents, and a CN95-grade cabin air filter are standard across the entire range.
Advanced driver assistance is one of the standout upgrades distinguishing the X70 PRO from its sibling models. Flagship variants boast a Level 2.5 semi-autonomous driving assistance suite, encompassing full-speed Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR). For enhanced situational awareness, it features a 360-degree surround-view monitor paired with a 180-degree transparent chassis display to give drivers a comprehensive view in tight or tricky driving conditions.
For passive safety, the X70 PRO is constructed with a high-strength cage body structure using 75% high-tensile steel. Front airbags and front side airbags are fitted as standard across all variants, while higher-spec models gain full-length curtain airbags for both front and rear rows. Standard active safety kit across the lineup includes ABS with EBD, Brake Assist (BA), Traction Control (TCS), Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
It should be highlighted that entry-level variants omit most active safety aids, offering only standard cruise control, a reverse camera, and rear parking sensors—Level 2 ADAS capabilities are reserved for mid-to-high-spec models. On the reliability front, some owner complaints have cited occasional transmission jerking at low speeds, cabin resonance, instrument screen blackouts, and suspension noises.
The Jetour X70 PRO's modest market performance stands in contrast to its strong on-paper specifications. Since its introduction, the model has played second fiddle within the Jetour X70 family, commanding far less market presence than the bread-and-butter X70 and X70 PLUS. Sales figures show just 379 units sold in April 2026, with a 12-month cumulative total of 12,730 units. Market analysts attribute its sluggish sales to several key hurdles: first, an overcrowded internal lineup where the X70 PRO overlaps heavily in pricing and positioning with the X70 and X70 PLUS, causing buyer confusion; second, a polarising design language that lacks universal appeal; and third, Jetour's limited brand equity, which struggles to justify the Pro version's higher price tag.
Owner feedback on consumer platforms (such as 12365auto) is largely positive regarding the X70 PRO's value proposition, with many noting that getting a mid-size SUV at around RM110,000 represents unquestionable value. The styling has also earned praise for looking 'modern, imposing, and distinctively youthful', while the 1.6T powertrain is commended as 'praiseworthy, offering eager throttle response'. On the downside, complaints centre around the underfloor-mounted spare tyre being cumbersome to access, the heavy use of red trim clashing with the black cabin panels, tight third-row usability, and occasional quality control issues like DCT low-speed hesitation and chassis knocks.
Within Jetour's own portfolio, the X70 PRO competes alongside the larger X90 PLUS (which boasts a 2,850 mm wheelbase), with the latter having the upper hand in cabin space. Broadly speaking, the X70 PRO makes its mark in the sub-RM200,000 7-seater SUV segment thanks to its roomy interior, generous spec sheet, and decent fuel efficiency, though its overly firm ride quality and slightly sluggish infotainment response remain notable drawbacks.
The Jetour X70 PRO represents an ambitious push upmarket by Jetour, capitalising on the success of the standard X70. Armed with a punchy 2.0T Kunpeng engine, Level 2.5 ADAS, and sharper styling, it aims to capture family buyers in the RM100,000-RM150,000 bracket who desire more performance and sophisticated technology. However, internal model overlap within the X70 line, divided opinions on its exterior design, and brand pricing limitations have ultimately held back its sales momentum.
From a product standpoint, the X70 PRO offers commendable competitiveness in terms of powertrain breadth, safety tech, and seating flexibility—with the 254 PS 2.0T variant being an especially rare find at this price point. However, prospective buyers will need to weigh the X70 PRO against stablemates like the X70 PLUS and X90 PLUS, as well as formidable segment rivals such as the Chery Tiggo 8 PRO and Changan CS75 PLUS. For family buyers with a budget between RM120,000 and RM150,000 who need occasional 7-seater practicality, robust performance, and active safety tech, the X70 PRO is well worth a look; but for those prioritising stronger brand heritage and a more supple, refined ride, mainstream rivals may prove to be the more well-rounded choice.
