In recent years, the demand for seven-seater vehicles has surged, driven by evolving lifestyles, growing families, and a renewed focus on versatile travel options. What was once the domain of boxy multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) has now shifted into the realm of sleek, capable SUVs — a trend that has not only transformed how people move but also what they expect from a family-friendly vehicle.
One model that has emerged as a standout in this growing segment is the Jetour X70 Plus, which arrived in South Africa just six months ago. Already making waves with its well-balanced offering of space, style, and affordability, the X70 Plus was named “Best 7-Seater of the Year” at the Egypt Car of the Year Awards — a testament to its global appeal and intelligent design.
A New Era for the Seven-Seater
Historically, seven-seaters were largely utilitarian, designed primarily with function in mind. But as consumer tastes have shifted toward vehicles that blend practicality with premium features, the segment has expanded to include more refined and dynamic options. The SUV has become the natural evolution — and Jetour’s X70 Plus is the perfect example.
With Jetour’s Travel Plus strategy underpinning its development, the X70 Plus isn’t just about getting from A to B. It’s about enhancing the travel experience itself — whether it’s a mid-week school run, a family holiday down the coast, or transporting stock for a small business. The vehicle’s adaptability makes it a multi-purpose solution for South Africans who need more than just seats — they need space, comfort, and performance.
Spacious Comfort, Smart Versatility
The X70 Plus offers generous room for seven occupants, and its adjustable second row means those in the third row aren’t treated as an afterthought. With a simple fold of the third-row seats, boot space expands to 438 litres — ideal for luggage, shopping, or sports gear. Fold both rear rows flat, and you unlock a cavernous 1,680 litres of cargo space, making the X70 Plus as suitable for family adventures as it is for entrepreneurial pursuits.
From a design perspective, the cabin reflects modern elegance and understated confidence. Every element — from materials to ergonomics — is designed to ensure passengers feel at ease and connected throughout the journey.
Confidently Styled, Built for the Road
The Jetour X70 Plus makes a bold first impression with its commanding grille, sleek LED headlights, and chrome-accented detailing. At 4,724 mm long with a 2,720 mm wheelbase, it carries a strong, stable presence that’s well-suited to South Africa’s diverse road conditions.
Under the bonnet, a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers a smooth yet responsive drive, powering the front wheels via a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Whether navigating city traffic or heading off on the open road, the X70 Plus handles it all with confidence.
Safety Meets Innovation
When it comes to family vehicles, safety is paramount — and the X70 Plus doesn’t disappoint. It’s equipped with an extensive suite of active and passive safety systems, including:
- ABS with EBD
- Tyre pressure monitoring system
- Electronic stability control
- Hill-hold and hill-descent control
- ISOFIX child seat anchors
These features ensure peace of mind, no matter the destination.
Affordability Without Compromise
With a starting price of R454,900 for the Momentum model and R484,900 for the Deluxe, the Jetour X70 Plus represents exceptional value in the seven-seater SUV segment. It delivers premium features, a refined driving experience, and a thoughtful layout — all at a price point that makes it accessible to a broad spectrum of buyers.
Ready for the Journey Ahead
As the holiday season approaches and more families take to the roads, the need for reliable, roomy, and comfortable transport becomes more apparent. Whether it’s a trip to the mountains, the beach, or just across town, the Jetour X70 Plus ensures that every seat is the best seat in the house.
With its blend of space, style, safety, and smart pricing, the Jetour X70 Plus is more than just a car — it’s a companion for life’s journeys.
