Jetour X50 to Reach Russia by Late 2024
The Jetour X50 crossover is slated to hit the Russian market before the close of 2024, according to Jetour’s official press service. This move marks the brand’s intention to expand its presence in the Russian automotive landscape as the year winds down.
Jetour’s press service confirmed that the new crossover would be launched in Russia in the final quarter of 2024, signaling a deliberate rollout plan aligned with regional demand and distribution readiness. The confirmation comes as part of the brand’s communication on its future product availability in the country.
Jetour’s official Russia site lists a starting price of 1.99 million rubles for the X50. It remains unclear whether this figure includes promotional discounts or additional purchase conditions. The entry model is equipped with ABS, a stabilization system, halogen headlights, a digital instrument panel, light and rain sensors, and keyless entry, providing a solid set of features for the base tier.
The basic version relies on a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine producing 113 horsepower and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. In the other two trims, the crossover upgrades to a 1.5-liter turbo engine delivering 147 horsepower and matched to a 6-speed automated manual transmission, offering a more spirited driving experience with enhanced performance.
A broader view of the market shows that Russian buyers have historically favored practical, well-equipped crossovers in this size class, and the X50 aims to compete by combining value with modern tech. The inclusion of a digital instrument panel and sensors aligns Jetour with current expectations for connectivity and convenience in this segment. Pricing positioning at around 1.99 million rubles places the X50 in a competitive bracket for new Chinese-brand crossovers, especially when the feature set across the entry and mid trims is considered.
In Russia, customers often weigh total ownership costs, including maintenance, insurance, and fuel efficiency, alongside sticker price. Reports and industry discussions have previously highlighted how maintenance costs can influence long term ownership of premium and volume-brand models alike, a factor that brands like Jetour will need to address as demand grows.
