Traditionally, most automakers have limited their new-car warranties to between three and seven years, or up to 200 000 km, leaving owners responsible for repair costs once that period ended. Over the past five years, however, some brands have raised the bar by introducing 10-year, one-million-kilometre engine warranties, reshaping customer expectations and building trust for new market entrants.
Jetour South Africa is at the forefront of this trend, demonstrating confidence in the quality and durability of its vehicles. Across its Dashing and X70 Plus models, Jetour offers a 5-year / 150 000 km warranty alongside a 5-year / 60 000 km service plan. Complementing this is the flagship 10-year / 1 000 000 km engine warranty, applicable to the first owner, providing unmatched peace of mind.
The T-Series models take this assurance further, offering a 7-year / 200 000 km warranty with a 7-year / 75 000 km service plan, and the same extensive 10-year / 1 000 000 km engine warranty. These warranties cover factory defects in materials or workmanship, ensuring major components are repaired or replaced if they fail under normal use, while wear-and-tear and misuse remain excluded.
Routine maintenance is fully accounted for through the service plans, which include oil and filter changes, inspections, and general upkeep, covering both parts and labour. This transparency gives owners a clear view of servicing costs upfront and ensures vehicles remain in peak condition.
The extended 10-year engine warranty offers long-term protection and demonstrates Jetour’s confidence in its engineering. By combining high-quality vehicles with comprehensive warranties, widespread dealership access, and readily available parts, Jetour has seen consistent growth. Monthly sales of the Dashing and X70 Plus have steadily increased, with the newer T1 and T2 models further establishing Jetour as a preferred choice among South African buyers. January marked a record month with over 1 550 vehicles sold locally.
Jetour’s approach to warranties sets the brand apart, assuring customers that quality is not only built in but maintained over time. Buyers can now enjoy greater coverage and reliability than ever before, selecting vehicles with confidence knowing that both performance and longevity are backed by real protection and trust.
