Although there may not have been so much hope at the beginning, As a sub-brand of Chery, Jietu has achieved certain success in the market, and the first model, jietu X70, has successfully won the favor of consumers in the 100,000-level segment with its people-friendly price and high cost performance. However, with the passage of time, jietu's product line has become more and more abundant, but there is no obvious increase in sales. X70 series in the past can sell more than 10,000 vehicles, but in the first three months of this year its monthly sales are only about 5-7 thousand, X70 series is now not only X70, but also X70M, X70PLUS, X70COUPE, X70S, covering the price range from 6-16 million or so, under so many models sales did not rise, but declined, this is not an optimistic thing. Recently, Jietu launched a new model for the X70S, the highest-positioned model in this series, can it help increase sales?
The new X70S uses the latest design style and looks younger overall. The front of the car is a polygonal grille, and the interior is decorated with a seagull-like grid, which looks more textured. The shape of the headlights on both sides has not changed, it looks bright and energetic, while the shape of the fog light area is more sharp, there are still four light sources inside, with the treatment of the front encirclement, the front of the car has a more visual impact.
The sides remain the same, and the latest two-tone wheels are more stylish. The rear is mainly adjusted for the rear encirclement, with the addition of diversion slots on both sides, and the bilateral four-out exhaust holes are also provided, which makes it more combatant.
The appearance part has indeed been a relatively large upgrade, the appearance value has improved a lot, and it is more textured, but the interior still continues the original design, the overall layout is relatively simple, the center is a suspension screen, the air conditioner outlet runs through the left and right, and also widens the overall visual effect, and the physical buttons are basically integrated in the position below the air conditioner outlet, which is clear at a glance and easy to operate. In addition, the new Jietu X70S provides more configuration versions, of which the high-end is also equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and a 10.25-inch central control screen, and the electronic gear lever is also equipped with a more grade style, which shows a good scientific and technological atmosphere as a whole. In addition, driving recorders, lane departure warnings, and parallel assist also appear on some models, helping to improve driving convenience and safety.
The Jetway X70S is available in 5-seat and 7-seat versions, with a length, width and height of 4749/1900/1720mm and a wheelbase of 2745mm, the interior space is not particularly spacious and comfortable, but it is still more advantageous than many compact SUVs.
In terms of power, in addition to the 1.5TCI engine, the new car also provides a choice of 1.6TGDI engines, the former with a maximum horsepower of 156Ps and a peak torque of 230 Nm, matching the 6MT and 6-speed dual-clutch transmissions, and the latter with a maximum horsepower of 197Ps and a peak torque of 290 Nm, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
X70S current pre-sale price of 8.79-11.99 million yuan, as a medium-sized SUV it is still priced close to the people, and to be honest, the design of the new Jietu X70S is not inferior to the Chery family's Tiggo series, and even many people will think that it is better, the loss is lower in the brand positioning, but for consumers, this also further improves the cost performance. Perhaps with the launch of the new X70S, the sales of Jietu will have a certain improvement.
