The Jetour X95 is a D-segment SUV launched by Chery Holding's Jetour brand. Positioned as a "flagship family touring SUV", it serves as the halo model in Jetour’s internal combustion engine (ICE) lineup. First introduced to the market in November 2019, the model championed "luxury and generous cabin space" as its core selling propositions, tasked with elevating Jetour into more premium territory. The latest iteration currently on sale is the 2025 model, powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged Kunpeng engine, offering both 5-seater and 7-seater configurations with an official price tag ranging from RM173,800 to RM178,800.
Competing in the D-segment SUV market, the Jetour X95 stands as the flagship offering in Jetour's petrol-powered range. In terms of dimensions, it measures 4,858 mm long, 1,925 mm wide, and 1,780 mm tall, with a generous 2,850 mm wheelbase. Available in 5-door, 5-seater or 7-seater layouts, its kerb weight ranges between 1,631 kg and 1,653 kg. Key highlights include a class-leading 2,850 mm wheelbase, multi-link rear suspension, Kunpeng 1.6T powertrain, and flagship positioning within the RM170,000 bracket. Primary rivals include fellow Chinese D-segment SUVs such as the Chery Tiggo 9, GAC Trumpchi GS8, and Geely Haoyue L.
Market-wise, the Jetour X95 has been plagued by lackluster sales since its inception, making it one of the slowest-selling models under the Jetour umbrella. Industry data indicates that the SUV even logged zero registrations in certain months, leaving it largely sidelined in the market. The latest figures show that in March 2026, monthly sales stood at a paltry 13 units, with a cumulative total of just 14 units over the past six months, placing it near the bottom of Jetour's sales charts—a stark contrast to its flagship status.
Aesthetically, the Jetour X95 incorporates Jetour's signature "Huizhou Architecture" design philosophy. Up front, it features a bold hexagonal grille detailed with a starry chrome dot-matrix motif, flanked by matrix LED headlamps with auto-on and cornering light functions to deliver a commanding road presence. The distinctive quad-point LED daytime running lights (DRLs) embedded in the front bumper serve as an unmistakable styling hallmark of the X95.
Along the flanks, a floating roof design paired with sharp dual character lines gives the SUV a poised and planted stance. The long 2,850 mm wheelbase ensures balanced proportions, complemented by 19-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in 235/55 R19 tyres, well-befitting its large SUV stature. At the rear, the styling remains neat and understated, featuring sleek LED taillights and dual chrome exhaust finishers integrated into the lower bumper.
Inside, the Jetour X95 adopts a wraparound cockpit layout, headlined by a dual 12.3-inch screen setup that combines the digital instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen—the centrepiece of the 2025 model's cabin tech. Leatherette upholstery dominates the interior, with higher-spec variants receiving chrome accents and piano black trim. The leather-wrapped steering wheel offers tilt and telescopic manual adjustment. While the cabin exudes an executive ambience, cost-cutting measures are evident with hard plastics noticeable in several touchpoints.
Under the bonnet, the Jetour X95 is powered exclusively by the SQRF4J16 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, a staple from Chery's third-generation "Kunpeng Power" family. It churns out 145 kW (approx. 197 PS) and 290 Nm of torque across a 2,000–4,000 rpm band, with a 9.9:1 compression ratio and a 37.1% thermal efficiency rating.
Power is channelled to the front wheels via a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (7DCT). Top speed is rated at 185 km/h, with a rated combined fuel consumption of 8.15 L/100 km on the WLTC cycle. Utilizing direct petrol injection, the engine runs on standard RON 92 fuel and meets China VI emission standards. Jetour backs the X95 with a lifetime engine warranty (subject to official terms and exclusions), showcasing confidence in the powertrain's durability.
However, for a hefty D-segment SUV stretching nearly 4.9 metres with a 2.85-metre wheelbase, the lack of larger engine choices beyond the 1.6T and the total absence of an all-wheel-drive (AWD) option is a notable handicap. Rivals such as the Tiggo 9 and Trumpchi GS8 both offer punchier 2.0T units and AWD systems. In the X95's case, while the 1.6T engine is adequate for daily commutes, its power reserves feel strained when fully laden on steep inclines or during high-speed overtaking.
Underpinnings comprise front MacPherson struts and a rear multi-link independent suspension setup. All variants are strictly front-wheel drive (FWD), with no AWD drivetrain available. Braking duties are handled by front ventilated discs and rear solid discs, paired with an electronic parking brake (EPB).
Steering is managed by an electric power steering (EPS) system on a monocoque chassis. Fully loaded, it boasts a minimum ground clearance of 210 mm, offering respectable off-pavement clearance in its segment alongside approach and departure angles of around 20°. Fuel tank capacity is rated at 57 litres. All variants ride on 235/55 R19 tyres and include a space-saver spare wheel.
Drivers can toggle between Sport and Eco drive modes. The chassis is tuned primarily for ride comfort, with the multi-link rear setup isolating road imperfections far better than a basic torsion beam. Nonetheless, the lack of an AWD option severely restricts the X95's rough-road credentials, presenting a noticeable disconnect between its "flagship" badge and "touring SUV" ethos.
The Jetour X95’s digital cockpit revolves around the dual 12.3-inch displays. The central touchscreen runs integrated AutoNavi navigation and supports 4G connectivity, CarLife smartphone screen-mirroring, and voice command functionality for media, navigation, telephony, air conditioning, and the panoramic roof. The infotainment suite also supports telematics via a dedicated mobile app for remote engine start, vehicle health checks, and car tracking.
In terms of creature comforts, the 2025 X95 comes equipped as standard with an openable panoramic sunroof, keyless entry with push-start button, a 360-degree camera system, cruise control, auto brake hold, hill start assist (HSA), and hill descent control (HDC). The side mirrors feature power adjustment, power folding, heating, and auto-folding upon locking. Rain-sensing auto wipers and auto headlamps are also standard.
Seating arrangements include 5-seater and 7-seater configurations (with a 2-3-2 layout on the latter), trimmed in synthetic leather. The driver’s seat gets electric adjustment with power lumbar support, while the front passenger seat is manually adjusted. Seat heating and ventilation are omitted upfront. The rear bench features a split-folding mechanism that folds flat to create a versatile boot space. The air conditioning remains a basic manual unit, missing out on automatic climate control and multi-zone temperature adjustments.
For passive safety, the Jetour X95 utilizes a high-tensile cage body structure. Airbag protection includes dual front airbags and front side airbags as standard, though side curtain airbags are notably absent across the range. Standard active safety tech includes ABS with EBD, brake assist (BA), traction control (TCS), electronic stability programme (ESP), and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) with individual tyre readouts.
When it comes to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the X95 offers only entry-level features. Standard kit includes standard cruise control, a 360-degree camera, rear parking sensors, lane departure warning (LDW), and blind spot monitoring. Full Level 2 ADAS capabilities—such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), autonomous emergency braking (AEB), and lane keep assist (LKA)—are completely missing, leaving it trailing behind mainstream segment benchmarks at this price point.
The Jetour X95's commercial journey has been a talking point largely due to its underwhelming sales rather than its market success. Since rolling out in 2019, sales numbers have languished at the bottom. Industry observers noted that the X95 experienced zero-sales months on several occasions, describing it as a model that fell flat right out of the gate and became quickly marginalized in an intensely competitive SUV market. The latest figures show that in March 2026, it recorded just 13 units, bringing its six-month tally to a negligible 14 units.
Market analysts attribute the Jetour X95's struggle to several core factors:
Mismatched positioning against brand equity: Jetour built its brand image on "value-for-money" and "high-volume budget vehicles", with the X70 series carving out a strong niche in the RM60,000 to RM100,000 price range. In contrast, the X95's jump into the RM170,000-plus territory clashed with brand perceptions. Moving upmarket takes time and brand pedigree, and the X95's steep pricing strategy proved far too ambitious.
Uncompetitive package: For a substantial 4.9-metre D-segment SUV, offering only a 1.6T engine (197 PS) without AWD put it at an immediate disadvantage against rivals like the Tiggo 9 (2.0T / 261 PS) and Trumpchi GS8 (2.0T / 252 PS). Missing features such as automatic climate control and Level 2 ADAS further eroded its value proposition.
Quality concerns and reliability complaints: Consumer feedback on automotive complaint portals like CheZhiWang highlighted recurring quality issues with body accessories, electrical systems, and powertrain components without swift resolution, impacting long-term brand goodwill.
Severe internal product overlap: Jetour’s crowded mid-to-large SUV range—spanning the X70, X70 PLUS, X70 PRO, X70S, X70M, X90, X90 PLUS, and X95—created extensive price overlap, confusing potential buyers and cannibalizing internal sales.
Owner feedback indicates that while early adopters appreciated the spacious cabin and attractive exterior design, there was widespread dissatisfaction regarding the lack of engine punch, sparse premium equipment, and dealership after-sales support.
The Jetour X95 stands as a sobering case study in Jetour’s quest to move upmarket. As a flagship nameplate, it checks the basic boxes in terms of footprint, interior space, and exterior styling. However, it falls noticeably short against rivals in critical areas like powertrain displacement, AWD capability, and modern driver assistance tech. More critically, its RM170,000-plus pricing alienates both Jetour's traditional budget-conscious buyers and mainstream D-segment SUV shoppers who demand stronger brand prestige.
With monthly sales lingering in low double digits, the X95 has essentially been relegated to a niche footnote. Its trajectory underscores that pushing upmarket cannot rely solely on higher price tags; it requires a genuine leap in product substance and a carefully nurtured brand reputation. For consumers looking for a large SUV in the RM170,000 to RM180,000 range, well-rounded alternatives like the Chery Tiggo 9 and GAC Trumpchi GS8 offer superior performance, better kit, and stronger brand credibility. Between the Jetour X95's flagship badge and its actual showroom performance lies an unbridgeable gap.
