Jetour, the new SUV brand launched in South Africa last year, has quickly gained recognition both locally and globally for its stylish designed models, exceptional value and advanced technology. Built into these models are an array of safety features designed to provide a secure and comfortable driving experience.
The Dashing and X70 Plus models available currently in South Africa, are no exception.
360-degree cameras are a crucial safety feature in both the Dashing and X70 Plus, providing a comprehensive view of the area around the car. This greatly improves situational awareness, removes blind spots, boosts parking safety, and increases the driver’s overall awareness, thereby lowering the chances of accidents, particularly in low-visibility situations.
Deluxe variants of the five-seater Dashing and seven-seater X70 Plus also come with rear cross traffic alert – a safety feature designed to help drivers when reversing out of parking spaces or driveways. Here, sensors and cameras detect vehicles or pedestrians approaching from the side while the car is in reverse.
Jetour also provides additional “eyes” on the road with their Blind Spot Detection capability. Sensors monitor the areas around a vehicle that a driver may not be able to see, and issues warnings when another vehicle enters that space, typically when attempting to change lanes.
The Jetour Dashing and Jetour X70 Plus are also equipped with a comprehensive airbag system, designed to enhance passenger safety in the event of a collision, with four airbags in the Momentum models and six in the Deluxe models. Research indicates that when airbags are used alongside seatbelts, they significantly reduce the risk of severe head injuries or fatalities in frontal crashes.
Traction Control in these Jetour models is yet another important safety feature, designed to help maintain optimal grip on the road, particularly in slippery or challenging driving conditions.
It works by automatically adjusting the engine power or applying the brakes to specific wheels if it detects that one or more wheels are losing traction. Given the varied driving conditions across South Africa, traction control is essential for safer driving, adapting to different regions, weather, and terrain.
So detailed are these types of safety measures that the Jetour is designed to prioritise safety by helping the driver focus more on the road during critical driving situations, by automatically adjusting the volume of the infotainment system or entertainment controls to help the driver concentrate better, particularly when traction control is actively engaged due to challenging driving conditions.
As automotive safety standards evolve, Jetour’s commitment to innovation and quality remains steadfast, giving drivers more confidence on the road. With ongoing improvements and a dedication to international safety standards, Jetour is well-positioned as a leading force in the global automotive market, delivering both top-tier performance and enhanced protection for its customers.
