The 2022 Jietu X95 was launched in March this year, and the new car was launched with a total of 1 configuration, but it was divided into 5-seat, 6-seat and 7-seat versions, and the price range was 14.68 to 149,900 yuan. The 2022 Besturn T99 was launched in August last year, and the price range of the car is 134,900 to 166,900 yuan.
Next, the car uncle will choose the 5-seat version of the Jetto X95 entry-level and the 2022 Pentium T99 automatic luxury model with a guide price of 157,900 yuan, both of which are maintained at about 140,000 yuan after the terminal discount, let's take a closer look at their specific performance.
Exterior design
The car shape of the new Jietu X95 has not changed, and the front face design is the type that most Chinese people will prefer, of which the new car has a large size hexagonal grille, which can create a powerful aura, and the internal dot matrix decoration plus the thick chrome trim of the outer ring looks like a luxury brand. The angular headlights on both sides are connected to the central network through the trim panels, and the new car is equipped with LED headlights as standard, and at the same time equipped with four-point daytime running lights at the bottom air intake, which is also a small family feature of the current Jietu brand.
The Pentium T99 also takes the atmospheric route in terms of appearance design, the overall shape of the front face is very square, and the use of a large number of chrome trim strips and black trim panels is designed to highlight the luxurious temperament of the whole vehicle. Among them, the size of the front grille of the new car occupies more than half of the space in the front face, and the interior trim is blackened, and the visual effect is very atmospheric. The headlight groups on both sides use LED light sources, the internal structure is arranged in an orderly manner, the visual effect after lighting is good, and the LED daytime running lights are located in the fog light area.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the Jetto X95 are 4875× 1925× 1780 mm respectively. The wheelbase is 2855mm. The body side design of the new model is very stylish, the disconnected waistline and the suspended roof are the current popular elements, and the new car also adds chrome trim strips to the window line and the bottom side skirt to enhance the texture of the vehicle.
The specific length, width and height of the Pentium T99 are 4800× 1915× 1685 mm, and the wheelbase is 2870 mm, which lags behind in the three-dimensional data. The body side design of this model is relatively simple, a straight waist line runs from the front headlight group to the tail light part, the trend is parallel to the window line, and the suspended roof is slightly slipped back, which eases the sharp atmosphere of the whole car.
The main highlight of the tail design of the Jetto X95 is reflected in the trunk tailgate, and the Jetto X90, the tail light group of the car as a whole is integrated on the tailgate, which is commonly known as the scallop-shaped tailgate, such a design is rare nowadays, more models on the market are divided into two parts to pursue a more narrow and long shape.
The tail shape of the Pentium T99 looks more layered than the front of the car, and the through-type taillight group makes the entire rear appear very heavy, and the light group continues the flagship shape, showing the toughness and width of the vehicle between horizontal and vertical. At the same time, the new car is equipped with a double chrome exhaust on both sides in the rear surround, but this is only decoration, and the real exhaust is hidden behind the device.
Interior design
Jietu X95 also shows a strong sense of luxury in interior design, three large screens make the entire cockpit technology atmosphere directly full, the resolution of the screen is good, and the fluency of use can also reach the mainstream level in domestic brands. The steering wheel shape in front of the main driver has some Mercedes-Benz brand flavor, especially the button areas on both sides are very similar, but the buttons are relatively smooth in the specific operation process, which is also an advantage of it.
The interior design of the Pentium T99 is very heavy, and the wrap-around design coupled with the use of a large number of leather materials gives the whole interior a simple overall feeling. The three-panel flat-bottom steering wheel in front of the new owner's drive is larger in size and wrapped in leather fabric. The function buttons on both sides are integrated design, which looks relatively high-end, but in fact, this is still a physical button, the surface is relatively smooth, and it is easy to leave fingerprints. The car's central control display screen is relatively clear, in addition to supporting conventional navigation, multimedia, car interconnection and other functions, but also to adjust the atmosphere lights in the car.
The interior seats of the Jetway X95 are wrapped in imitation leather fabric and functionally support the electric adjustment of the main driver's seat. The interior padding of the front seats of this model is moderately soft and hard, and the seat surface is relatively wide, which is particularly suitable for the human body and can give good body support to the front passengers.
The interior seats of the Pentium T99 are also wrapped in imitation leather fabric, and the functional aspects are more than the X95 with the two-way adjustment of the waist support of the main driver's seat, the electric adjustment of the passenger seat, and the heating of the front seat. The comfort of the front seats in the new car is impeccable, and the side wings of the cushion and backrest are obviously prominent, and the wrapping is also very good.
The rear seats of the Jetway X95 car support forward and backward movement, and the seat is adjusted to the front position with almost no legroom, and the legroom can be adjusted to the final position to reach more than two punches. The center of the platform is very flat, and passengers sitting in the middle position will not feel too restrained.
The rear seats of the Pentium T99 are wide and thick, and the recline angle between the backrest and the seat cushion is large, which is more suitable for Chinese people to ride, but the disadvantage is that the seat cushion is short. In addition, the rear middle seats are stiffer than the padding on both sides, but fortunately it is equipped with independent headrests and the bulge of the central platform is not obvious.

Uncle Che summed up
As representatives of large-space SUV models, the Jetway X95 and Pentium T99 have good strength and a cute interior and exterior design.

Comparatively speaking, the product strength and cost performance of the Pentium T99 are significantly higher, so in this round of duels, the uncle recommends the Pentium T99.
