The vehicle is powered by a 1.5 Litre Turbo/Plug-in Hybrid engine, with a battery power of 19.43kWh and two dedicated hybrid transmissions.
Jetour was named the ‘Fastest Growing Auto Brand of the Year’ at the Nigeria Auto Journalists Association (NAJA) awards held in December 2024 in Lagos.

The award recognised Jetour’s rapid growth and commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction/acceptance, and creating unique driving experiences.
Organisers of the award, made up of renowned auto journalists cutting across print, electronic, and online media in Nigeria, stated that the award was a result of the rapid acceptability and patronage of the brand shortly after it was introduced in the country.
The brand’s name, ‘Jetour,’ translates to ‘convenient travel’ in Chinese, and the brand has built a strong presence in the SUV and crossover market.
According to the company, the X70 plug-in hybrid will be supported with after-sales services, access to genuine spare parts, dedicated technical back-up/support, and a warranty of five years or 150,000 kilometres, whichever comes first.
