In fact, for the Brand of Jietu X90, most consumers are still a little unfamiliar with it. Jetway is a relatively young brand of Chery, and the Jetway X90 was only listed last year, and now it has undergone its first redesign, and I am also the first opportunity to test drive to the Jetway series. Today, let's take a look at the performance of the redesigned Jietu X90.
The main changes of the new model are concentrated in the front of the car, the horizontal chrome grille is replaced by a black honeycomb-shaped grille, which is very much in line with the aesthetics of contemporary young people, and the official statement is inspired by the tiles of the Huipai building, stacked elegantly, and if you look closely, there is indeed a trace of traditional architectural geometric aesthetics. The iconic four-point daytime running lights on both sides of the front have been retained in the new Jetto X90 for great recognition.
The one test drive this time is the Jietu X90 2020 1.6T DCT Shadow Royal Edition 7-seater model, with body dimensions of 4840x1925x1780 mm respectively. It is worth mentioning that the five-seater, six-seater and seven-seat body size of the Jetway X90 are the same, but it does not sacrifice too much front space to meet the seating settings of the third row, but more to replace the space in the trunk. If you buy a 7-seater Jetto X90, you don't have to worry about the comfort of the front row passengers, as I'm completely at ease sitting in the second row throughout the trip.
Coming to the car, compared with the interior of the old model, the interior style of this Jietu X90 is really a lot younger, including the dual screen panel and multi-function steering wheel, as well as the design of the audio, can not be said to be like it, it is exactly the same as the interior of Mercedes-Benz. But it is undeniable that the dual screen is definitely the mainstream design direction in the future, and the Jietu X90 is just in front of most car companies.
There is also a touch LCD screen on the center console, and the air conditioning panel and the seat ventilation and heating of the front main passenger seat are placed in this area. During the test drive, I simply operated this LCD screen, which requires a large force to react when operating, and the panel feedback needs to be improved. Of course, in the interior design, my favorite is the design of this gear handle, similar to the yacht-like design concept, which is supplemented by diamond-shaped pattern carving, which suddenly enhances a lot of high-end sense for the entire cockpit.
Looking at the power performance of the Jetto X90, my car is equipped with a 1.6T GDI engine, with a maximum power of 197 horsepower and a maximum torque of 290 Nm, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. We drove all the way from Shanghai to Suzhou and simply test-drove the car's performance. The vehicle is equipped with three driving modes, namely ECO, SPORT and NORM.
In ECO mode, although it is fuel-efficient, it is more or less insufficient for people like me, especially in the middle and back sections, which cannot keep up with my rhythm at all. The most suitable for daily use of the car or NORMAL mode, whether it is a daily commute or to pick up and drop off children, are more suitable, the whole driving experience seems to be very moderate. A hundred thousand SUV, certainly based on comfort, it will not be too aggressive, instead you step on the throttle with one foot, you must have enough patience to wait for it to switch gears.
But in SPORT mode, it is different, this big guy looks thick, but in fact there is a violent side. One foot down the throttle, the engine roars, followed by a speed increase, and the high-speed overtaking in the middle and rear section is not a problem. Of course, its comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also explains, in the Shadow Royal Edition 5-seat body is the official data given is 8.1 liters per 100 kilometers, but on the 7-seat body of the Shadow Royal Edition, the actual instrument shows that it is 12 liters per 100 kilometers. Therefore, if you are not in a hurry, it is still leisurely to switch to ECO mode.
Through a day of contact, I found that this Jietu X90 meets the car purchase needs of most Chinese: the price is affordable, the official guidance price is 89,900-137,900 range; the space is large and practical, there are 5 seats, 6 seats and 7 seats three choices; the interior is luxurious, with mercedes-Benz the same level of dual screen, and BMW with the same process of INS decoration, I believe that the future can bring good market feedback.
