Jetour has refreshed its X70 Plus seven-seater SUV for 2026, giving the family-oriented model a more sophisticated exterior, upgraded technology and, for the first time, Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.

The 2026 X70 Plus adopts a redesigned front fascia with a bold horizontal grille slat, giving it a more sophisticated and commanding presence on the road. It also gains new 19-inch alloy wheels, chrome quad tailpipe finishers, roof rails, a panoramic glass sunroof, and a full LED lighting package comprising automatic LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED fog lamps and distinctive LED tail lamps.

With X70 Plus buyers typically looking for space and versatility, the seven-seater delivers generous dimensions, including a 2,720mm wheelbase that provides room for passengers across all three rows. Luggage capacity ranges from 89 litres with all seven seats in use to 1,680 litres when the rear seats are folded down. A large 57-litre fuel tank also means fewer stops on longer family road trips.

Inside, the cabin features black synthetic leather seats with red detailing, dual-zone climate control, an electrically adjustable driver’s seat with heating, ventilation and memory functions, and a heated and ventilated front passenger seat. Additional convenience comes from a heated and cooled centre armrest storage compartment, an automatic anti-glare rear-view mirror, and the panoramic sunroof.

Powering the X70 Plus is a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivering 125kW and 270Nm through a smooth seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The powertrain incorporates Engine Start/Stop technology and achieves combined fuel consumption of approximately 6.9L/100km, while complying with Euro 6 emissions standards.

An advanced suite of connected technologies keeps the X70 Plus driver informed, entertained and in control. A dual 10.25-inch digital display integrates the digital instrument cluster with the infotainment touchscreen, alongside wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a 50W wireless charging pad.

Intelligent voice control lets drivers operate a range of vehicle functions, including multimedia, telephone, air conditioning and window controls, using simple voice commands, helping them stay focused on the road. An eight-speaker Sony sound system rounds out the audio experience, while multiple USB-A and USB-C ports keep every passenger powered up.

Safety remains a priority for the X70 Plus, with a comprehensive suite of active and passive technologies including six airbags (front, side and curtain), ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control and Hill Descent Control. Tyre Pressure Monitoring, Electronic Park Brake, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Collision Warning, Door Opening Warning and a 540° panoramic camera are also included. Rear parking sensors are standard on the Prestige model, while the Prime derivative adds front parking sensors too.

One of the model’s most significant upgrades is the addition of Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, a collection of intelligent safety technologies that can simultaneously assist with steering, accelerating and braking under certain conditions. This includes adaptive cruise control, integrated cruise assist, active emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert and intelligent high/low beam assist, features once reserved for luxury vehicles.

Keyless entry, push-button start and remote engine start provide seamless access and operation, while automatic rain-sensing wipers adapt to changing weather conditions for improved visibility. The Prestige derivative features a powered tailgate, while the Prime model adds a hands-free induction tailgate, along with heated, power-folding exterior mirrors and privacy glass.

Buyers can choose from Glacier White, Onyx Black, Slate Grey, Forest Green and Ash Grey.

The X70 Plus’s appeal extends well beyond South Africa. The model has been named Best Value 7-Seater SUV by Malaysia’s Carlist.my and WapCar.my, honoured as Best Locally Manufactured 7-Seater Car at the Egypt Car of the Year 2026 awards, and recognised as Angola’s best-selling model in 2023.

The refreshed X70 Plus forms part of Jetour’s rapidly expanding global SUV portfolio. The brand has sold more than 2.15 million vehicles worldwide since launching in 2018, with 2,000 sales and service outlets across over 100 countries and regions. Last year alone, Jetour achieved a record 622,590 global vehicle sales, underlining the growing demand for its technology-driven, feature-rich SUVs.

The refreshed Jetour X70 Plus retails for less than the original model launched in 2024, priced from R444,900 for the Prestige derivative and R494,900 for the higher-spec Prime. All models are backed by a comprehensive after-sales package, including a five-year/150,000km vehicle warranty, a five-year/75,000km service plan and Jetour’s class-leading 10-year/1 million km engine warranty for the first owner.

With sharper styling, added technology and Level 2 driver assistance now standard across the range, the refreshed X70 Plus looks to build on its global reputation as a value-packed family SUV. Get in touch today to find out more or book a test drive.
