REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOJetour Georgia / PexelsOur verdict
7.2 / 10The Jetour X70 offers strong value in the UAE compact-to-midsize SUV space, combining a 7-seat layout, modern safety tech, and a segment-leading 10-year engine warranty at a price point well below Japanese and Korean rivals. The more powerful X70 Plus 1.6T variant brings 194 hp and a 7-speed DCT for a noticeably livelier drive, while the more affordable X70 FL 1.5T suits buyers focused on everyday economy. Build quality and infotainment have improved markedly over earlier generations, though some interior materials still trail Hyundai and Kia equivalents.
Who it's for — UAE families wanting a roomy 7-seater with comprehensive active safety, a class-competitive powertrain, and an outstanding warranty at a price significantly below mainstream Korean rivals; also appealing to buyers exploring Chinese-brand SUVs for the first time.
