A Brief History of Jetour

JETOUR first hit the global stage in 2018 and has since become one of the fastest-growing vehicle brands in China. Underpinned by Chery’s proven technology and powertrains, JETOUR was created to appeal to growing families, road-trippers, and upwardly mobile drivers who want more car for less cash. While the name might be new to Mzansi ears, the pedigree is solid — backed by the same engineering that powers the Chery Tiggo range, but with its own distinctive flavour. In South Africa, JETOUR launched in 2024 with the spacious X70 Plus and the sleeker, sportier Dashing — both aimed at buyers who want stylish SUVs without the euro-brand markup.

Owners must service on time to keep warranty cover, with a short grace period at dealer discretion.
