Jetour SUV Launches in South Africa: A New Player in the Automotive Market
As the automotive landscape in South Africa continues to evolve, a host of new names are gaining traction among consumers. One of the latest entrants making waves is Jetour, an exciting SUV brand operated under the larger umbrella of Chery. Jetour is set to make its mark in South Africa, with showrooms expected to open their doors in September 2024, offering a fresh perspective in the SUV market.
What sets Jetour apart? While it operates under the Chery banner, Jetour positions itself as a “brother brand” rather than a subsidiary. This independence allows Jetour to craft unique models tailored to meet the diverse needs of South African drivers, unlike other brands such as Jaecoo and Omoda, which operate as direct extensions of their parent companies.
Currently, two models from Jetour’s promising lineup have been confirmed for local release: the Jetour Dashing and the Jetour X70 Plus. The Dashing is designed with modernity in mind—think sleek lines and cutting-edge features that cater to urban drivers and those looking for style and performance. On the other hand, the X70 Plus is a larger, family-oriented SUV, perfect for those who require more space for adventures with loved ones.

Beyond these two models, Jetour also offers additional vehicles, including the compact T2 SUV, which aims to compete directly with icons such as Suzuki’s Jimny and the SWB Defender. The T2 is poised to attract a younger demographic looking for a fun, stylish, and easier-to-maneuver option in urban settings.
Overall, the introduction of Jetour into the South African market reflects a larger trend of increased brand diversity within the automotive sector. As consumers become more discerning, having a variety of options—from compact SUVs to family-friendly vehicles—will empower them to make choices that best fit their lifestyles.
With such exciting developments on the horizon, it’s clear that South African drivers can look forward to a growing range of innovative vehicles that promise style, functionality, and value for money.
