Every car brand out there is in a race to find that X-Factor.

Everyone wants to offer something different to the table; something that would make them stand out from the rest. Whether it be in terms of looks, features, or ownership experience, every carmaker wants to have that edge, especially in tightly contested segments, such as the 7-seater compact crossover class.

Sometimes, carmakers take years to develop a solution that would take them up there. But some also get it right the moment they enter the market.

The latter is certainly the case for Jetour and what they can offer with the 7-seater X70 SUV. Let us count the ways.

eXpressive Looks

It's an important thing for a carmaker to establish a unique identity on the road. Like the moment you see a vehicle, you'd easily know that it came from that certain manufacturer. That's something Jetour has quickly taken to heart with the X70 and its four flavors – the Journey, Travel, Sport, and the top-spec Plus.

The Jetour X70 exhibits a commanding presence, wherever you go. Undeniably, its curb appeal would make you stand out in a sea of crossovers, especially when onlookers see that proud front grille and the aggressive exterior styling that's accentuated by the large 18-inch wheels on the Journey, and even larger 20-inch alloys on the Travel, Sport, and Plus variants.

There are five different color options for you to choose from – namely Gray, Red, Blue, White or Black. And yes, they are available in all variants of the X70. So whichever fits your style and taste, Jetour has it for you.

eXperience Comfort

Let's admit it, the kind of roads we have in the country are far from ideal in terms of having a smooth drive; hence the reason why a lot of buyers nowadays choose high-riding vehicles such as crossovers and 7-seaters. They want something that could clear pockmarked roads easily, and at the same time remain in comfort as they go over bumps and other road undulations.

The Jetour X70 perfectly fits those requirements; as it comes with a four-wheel independent suspension with a multi-link setup at the rear. This ensures great ride comfort, handling, and stability in any type of road.

Inside, the seven occupants can also enjoy the comfortable seats and touch points made from soft-touch materials, giving that premium feel day in, and day out. All variants of the X70 even come with rear A/C vents, keeping everyone nice and cool whatever the weather is outside.

eXtensive List of Standard Tech

It's a great thing to witness how competition brings out the best in any carmaker when it comes to developing their vehicles, and buyers being the main beneficiaries. Back then, what's being considered as premium features now come as standard in the equipment list.

Speaking of which, Jetour brought in a generous amount of standard tech with the X70 SUV. In terms of the interior, you get dual widescreens as standard; one for the instrument panel, and the other for your infotainment system. Reverse cameras, 60:40 2nd row split folding and 50:50 3rd row fold? Standard. Bluetooth and mirror-linking? Also standard.

When it comes to safety, you get dual airbags, tire pressure monitors, ISOFIX child anchors, active safety systems such as ABS, EBD, Traction and Stability Control, Hill Start Assist, and an Electronic Parking Brake with auto-hold function as standard as well.

Meanwhile, the panoramic sunroof comes standard on the Travel, Sport, and Plus variants, and you get a power tailgate for the Sport and Plus variants, respectively. With the Jetour X70, you get a lot of car for your money across the range.

An eXciting Drive

A good powertrain combo would always come in handy whether you want a relaxing drive, or take things spiritedly. When it comes to the Jetour X70, the 7-seater's powerplant will always deliver.

The X70 is powered by a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 156 PS and 230 Nm of torque. The great thing about its engine is that while it has a small displacement, it picks up power from 1750 to 4000 rpm range. This means you don't need to rev it as high to get things going.

In terms of driving, the X70 offers you different drive modes to suit the road conditions ahead. Also, the X70 comes with two transmission options to fit your needs – the X70 Journey, Travel, and Sport is paired to an 8-speed automatic, while the X70 Plus has a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.

eXceptional Value

With all those things considered, you'd normally expect the things the X70 has to come at a premium price. But that's where Jetour clearly stands out from the rest – you can have a 7-seater crossover for as low as PHP 1.099 million for the X70 Journey. The X70 Travel retails for PHP 1.259 million, the X70 Sport sells for PHP 1.299 million, while the top-spec X70 Plus goes for PHP 1.373 million.

Yes, that's right. For under PHP 1.5 million, you can get a great-looking 7-seater with amazing features with the Jetour X70.

Jetour Auto Philippines even has something that would sweeten the deal further. They are offering an extremely low all-in downpayment of as little as PHP 28,000 for the X70 Journey, PHP 38,000 for the X70 Travel, PHP 48,000 for the X70 Sport, and PHP 68,000 for the X70 Plus. Want great value? Well, this is indeed one worth considering.

eXtended Warranty Coverage

But wait, there's more. Apart from getting the X70 with such attractive pricing, Jetour Auto Philippines is giving customers a 6-year, 1-million-kilometer vehicle warranty. And for the engine itself? A much longer 10-year warranty. That's how much Jetour wants you to have peace of mind with the X70 in terms of long-term ownership.
