Jetour X90 Plus

The Jetour X90 PLUS is a D-segment mid-size SUV from Chery Group's Jetour marque. Positioned as a "Joyful Ride for Big Families", it first opened for pre-orders in August 2021. As a cornerstone model in Jetour's "Travel+" strategy, the X90 PLUS leverages Chery Group’s deep engineering heritage and the Kunpeng Power platform, tapping into the family SUV segment with generous cabin space, versatile seating configurations, and exceptional value for money. The model officially debuted in the Russian market in June 2023, kicking off its global expansion. As of May 2026, the Jetour X90 PLUS has undergone several annual model year updates; the 2026 lineup continues to focus on the family market with five variants, flexible 5-, 6-, and 7-seater layouts across the board, alongside attractive trade-in incentives.

Model Overview

The Jetour X90 PLUS is positioned as a mid-size family SUV that focuses on being a "Joyful Ride for Big Families". Key selling points include class-above cabin space courtesy of its 2,850 mm wheelbase, versatile 5/6/7-seater seating layouts, comprehensive Kunpeng Power engine options, and a lifetime warranty for the first non-commercial owner. The model primarily targets multi-child households, weekend getaway enthusiasts, and budget-conscious buyers shopping within the RM100,000 to RM150,000 range seeking maximum space and value. Direct rivals include mid-size SUVs such as the Chery Tiggo 8 PLUS, Peugeot 5008, and Exeed VX. The 2026 range comprises five variants across three powertrain choices—1.5T, 1.6T, and 2.0T—with official recommended retail pricing from RM100,900 to RM139,900. On the ownership front, purchase perks include a trade-in rebate of RM6,000, low 10% down payment financing schemes, five years of complimentary telematics data, and the continuation of the lifetime warranty for the first non-commercial owner, further lowering the barrier to entry and long-term running costs for family buyers.

Design Language

The Jetour X90 PLUS adopts the brand's signature "hardcore aesthetic" design language, striking a balance between an imposing presence and clean family-oriented styling. Up front, the bold cascading chrome grille serves as the focal point, flanked by sharp LED eagle-eye headlamps that flow seamlessly into the grille surround for high road presence. A smoked front lower bumper trim with chrome garnishes lends an added touch of sophistication. In profile, the SUV sports defined dual character lines, while a floating black roof effect and dynamic D-pillar treatment complement the 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels fitted as standard (higher trims upgrade to 19- or 20-inch alloys) for an athletic stance. Around the back, full-width LED taillight clusters create a striking light signature, complemented by twin chrome exhaust garnishes for a sportier rear end. In terms of exterior dimensions, it measures 4,858 mm long, 1,925 mm wide, and 1,780 mm tall with a 2,850 mm wheelbase—standard proportions for a D-segment SUV that provide a solid foundation for generous interior packaging.

Inside, the cabin features a stylish dual-tone colour scheme, extensively trimmed with soft-touch materials across the dashboard and door cards for a premium tactile feel. A freestanding dual-screen setup integrates a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment display, complemented by a three-spoke flat-bottom leather multi-function steering wheel, an electronic shift-by-wire gear selector, and a touch-panel climate control interface to balance tech appeal with everyday practicality. Furthermore, the X90 PLUS uses 118 carefully selected eco-friendly cabin materials—achieving an interior odour rating below Grade 3.5—and comes equipped with a PM2.5 + negative ion air purification system and CN95 cabin filter elements across the range for a healthier interior environment. A 62-inch panoramic glass roof is standard on all variants, flooding the cabin with natural light and enhancing the airy ambience.

Powertrain and Performance

The powertrain lineup is a headline feature of the Jetour X90 PLUS, offering three Kunpeng Power engine options—1.5T, 1.6T, and 2.0T—tailored to meet diverse family motoring requirements.

The 1.5T variant features a turbocharged petrol engine producing 115 kW (approx. 156 PS) and 230 N·m of torque, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox (6MT), tailored for cost-effective running and daily urban driving.

The 1.6T variant (Kunpeng Power) is driven by a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine (code SQRF4J16) in a transverse front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. It delivers 145 kW (approx. 197 PS) and 290 N·m of peak torque between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm, tuned to run on RON 92 petrol. Power is sent through a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (7DCT) engineered for prompt throttle response and seamless gear shifts. It reaches a top speed of 185 km/h and delivers a WLTC combined fuel consumption rating of 7.9 to 8.15 L/100 km; real-world urban figures hover around 9 to 10 L/100 km, while steady-state highway cruising drops to around 7.5 L/100 km. The engine achieves a thermal efficiency of 37.1%, ranking among the best in its segment.

The 2.0T variant is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 187 kW (approx. 254 PS) and a stout 390 N·m of torque via the 7-speed wet DCT, catering to drivers demanding effortless overtaking performance.

Fuel capacity is rated at 57 litres, and the powertrains comply with China VI-b emission standards.

Ride and Handling

The Jetour X90 PLUS is configured purely as a front-wheel-drive SUV (with no AWD variant offered). Underneath, it rides on a fully independent suspension setup comprising front MacPherson struts and a rear multi-link system, offering solid underpinnings for a mid-size SUV in this price bracket. The suspension effectively cushions road imperfections while ensuring dependable tyre contact. The Electric Power Steering (EPS) system features speed-sensitive weighting, remaining light and effortless at parking speeds while weighting up progressively at highway speeds for composed cruising. Braking is handled by ventilated front discs and solid rear discs (with all-round disc brakes on upper grades), supported by an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) with Auto Hold as standard. Wheel and tyre packages feature 235/55 R19 tyres on the 1.6T variants, stepped up to wider 255/45 R20 tyres on 2.0T models for enhanced grip and stopping power. The chassis setup is tuned predominantly for family comfort, soaking up minor road bumps on city roads and providing reassuring high-speed stability; however, body lean is noticeable during spirited cornering or brisk lane changes due to the comfort-biased damping and tall ride height. In-cabin NVH insulation is commendable overall, though owners note that wind and road tyre roar become more audible at speeds above 100 km/h. Its rigid monocoque body structure combined with a high-strength steel safety cage provides essential passive crash protection.

Cabin Space and Equipment

The Jetour X90 PLUS is available in 5-, 6-, and 7-seater layouts. The second-row backrests feature a wide recline adjustment range of 25° to 41°, while ingress and egress to the third row are straightforward. Thanks to the 1,925 mm width and generous 2,850 mm wheelbase, shoulder and legroom across the rear rows are commendable. In five-seater guise, the boot offers a standard cargo volume of 1,130 litres; folding both the second and third rows completely flat opens up a cavernous, flat-floor loading bay 2.21 metres deep—ideal for car camping, bulky lifestyle gear, or long road trips. A total of 41 storage compartments are thoughtfully distributed throughout the interior to hold daily family odds and ends.

On the connectivity and tech front, dual 12.3-inch widescreen displays (instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen) come standard. The centre screen runs Chery's Lion Smart Cloud OS, offering responsive intelligent voice commands, smartphone screen projection (including Huawei HiCar, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity), and pre-loaded entertainment apps such as NetEase Cloud Music and iQIYI. Higher variants gain a 360-degree surround-view camera (with selected trims upgraded to a 540-degree transparent chassis view), cruise control, Auto Hold, and Hill Start Assist. Cabin comforts include plush leatherette power-adjustable seats with heating and ventilation functions (on high-spec grades) as well as an air-conditioned central armrest coolbox. Practical essentials such as automatic LED headlamps, rear windscreen wiper, and smart keyless entry with push-button start are standard across the range.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The Jetour X90 PLUS provides a well-rounded suite of active and passive safety features. On the passive safety front, it is built on a high-strength steel cage-type monocoque, with high-strength steel accounting for 75% of the body structure and ultra-high-strength hot-stamped steel deployed in critical load paths. Six airbags (front dual, front side, and full-length side curtain airbags) and ISOFIX child seat anchors are standard across the lineup to deliver multi-directional impact protection. The 100-0 km/h braking stopping distance is kept neatly within 39 metres.

Active safety is anchored by a Bosch Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), incorporating Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Traction Control System (TCS), and Hill Hold Control (HHC). Standard exterior lighting safety includes LED daytime running lights, manual/auto headlamp levelling, and automatic on/off functionality.

For advanced driver assistance, premium grades come equipped with Level 2 semi-autonomous driving features. Key ADAS functionalities include: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go (operational from 0–150 km/h), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with forward vehicle and pedestrian detection, Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Speed Limit Sign Recognition (SLA), and High Beam Assist (HMA). Top-tier variants like the Manor Edition also integrate Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) and Integrated Cruise Assist (ICA), which provide steering guidance and low-speed follow functionality in heavy traffic to reduce driver fatigue.

Market Performance and Verdict

The Jetour X90 PLUS serves as a vital pillar in Jetour's "Travel+" product offensive. In terms of sales volume, the Jetour X90 nameplate (including the X90 PLUS) recorded 26,473 units in 2023, climbed to 38,732 units in 2024, and registered 13,522 units in 2025. At the brand level, Jetour delivered 27,607 units in February 2026, marking a 34.7% year-on-year contraction amid six consecutive months of decline, reflecting broader competitive headwinds. Nevertheless, backed by its cavernous cabin and accessible pricing, the X90 PLUS continues to command a dependable following among larger families.

Owner feedback for the Jetour X90 PLUS has been largely favourable. Commendations focus on the plush and supportive front seats, multi-recline middle-row seating, and the class-leading cargo utility offered by its flat-folding cargo bed. Owners widely praise the first- and second-row legroom as "exceptionally spacious", noting that the third row provides adequate room for passengers when fully loaded, making its value proposition stand out against domestic rivals in its class. On the flip side, reported drawbacks include: a slightly sluggish initial step-off in the 1.6T with noticeable throttle delay (around 1–2 seconds), requiring a deeper stab at the pedal for urgent acceleration; relatively short front seat bases offering modest thigh support over long journeys; average high-speed cabin noise insulation, where wind and tyre roar at 110 km/h prompt owners to turn up the stereo; and minor gripes such as occasional chassis rattles and slight dead-centre play in the steering. On balance, the Jetour X90 PLUS—armed with its 2,850 mm long wheelbase, robust Kunpeng powertrains, dual 12.3-inch digital displays as standard, and first-owner lifetime warranty—cements its reputation as a standout "space-for-money" family SUV in the RM100,000 to RM140,000 bracket, catering spot-on to multi-child families and road-trip enthusiasts.
