The first Jetour models to reach the Russian market are the Dashing and X90 Plus crossovers, with a warranty promise of five years or 150,000 kilometers to reassure buyers.
The entry point Dashing, offered with either a manual gearbox or an automatic transmission, is powered by 1.5-liter or 1.6-liter engines. The X90 Plus expands the powertrain lineup with 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter engines, both paired exclusively with automatic transmissions. These choices position the Dashing as a compact crossover and the X90 Plus as a larger, more versatile option within the same family.
In market positioning, the Dashing is categorized in the C plus segment and shares technical DNA with the Chery Tiggo 7. Yet the Dashing stands out with a bold design that draws parallels to high-status sports crossovers such as the Lamborghini Urus and the Lotus Eletre, even though the latter has not yet hit the streets. The X90 Plus, by contrast, adopts a more restrained exterior but prioritizes interior space, offering seven-seat capacity and a cabin that reflects above-average material quality, sound construction, and a thoughtful mix of materials and features.
While official price tags have not been disclosed, forecasts suggest pricing that aligns with the mid-market tier or sits slightly below it, creating a competitive proposition for buyers comparing domestic offerings with imports. This pricing posture is crucial for Jetour as it seeks to carve out a stable foothold in the Russian market while positioning itself against established brands in the same segment.
Jetour’s introduction to Russia traces back to 2018 when the brand was created as a Chery sub-brand. Today, Jetour vehicles are distributed in more than 30 countries, including markets in the Caucasus and Central Asia. In Russia, Jetour operates independently of a Chery affiliate, signaling an ambitious plan to scale its presence in the country. The manufacturer has outlined expectations well beyond a single launch, aiming to reach substantial volumes in the domestic market in the coming years.
