When Jetour made its South African debut in September last year, the SUV brand was on the hunt for influencers who could truly embody its core values—authenticity, passion, and creativity. Among the standout choices was Samantha Wright, widely known as TechGirl. As an international eSports host, content creator, fitness fanatic, and tech enthusiast, Wright was the perfect match for a brand built on innovation and cutting-edge technology.
Jetour’s presence in South Africa is defined by two models: the sleek, five-seater Jetour Dashing and the versatile, seven-seater Jetour X70 Plus. Both are packed with advanced technology, seamlessly blending comfort and connectivity to create an elevated driving experience. With her finger always on the pulse of digital trends, Wright’s passion for all things tech made her the ideal ambassador for a brand that prioritizes state-of-the-art features.
A Smarter Drive: Wright’s Experience with Jetour
For the past six months, Wright has been navigating the roads in her crimson red Jetour Dashing, fully immersing herself in the vehicle’s innovative features. Unsurprisingly, the car’s advanced technology has been her favorite aspect.
One feature that continually impresses her is the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
“Think about how often you forget to check tyre pressure at the petrol station, or you’re in a rush so just don’t do it,” she explains. “My Dashing alerts me when the pressure in one tyre needs attention. I love that the vehicle is intuitive enough to tell me when there’s an issue and monitor it for me. If you’re always on the go, that’s such a big plus.”
The Jetour Dashing and X70 Plus are designed to integrate seamlessly with modern lifestyles. They feature large touchscreen infotainment systems supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as advanced navigation features to ensure a smooth, connected drive.
“The customisation options offered by the technology are incredibly fun for me,” says Wright. “You can adjust the mood lighting, choose what information is displayed, and fine-tune the onboard settings to suit your personal preferences. It’s all about optimising your experience.”
Safety Meets Innovation
Beyond entertainment and convenience, Jetour prioritizes driver safety with an array of intelligent features. Both the Dashing and X70 Plus come equipped with adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automated parking, ensuring a confident and secure driving experience.
Jetour is redefining what it means to drive a technologically advanced SUV. By seamlessly combining cutting-edge technology and innovative design, the brand continues to push the boundaries of automotive excellence. As Wright has discovered over the past six months, driving a Jetour isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s about experiencing a smarter, safer, and more enjoyable journey every time you hit the road.
