The Jetour X70 is a midsize crossover designed with a rugged SUV look. For a starting price of just under Php 1.1 million, you can get a vehicle of its size with seven seats. While the price tag already makes it an enticing buy, let’s what this vehicle can offer in the market.

Up front, the fascia features an aggressive-looking design underscored by the massive grille with three horizontal slats. This is flanked by sleek LED headlights and distinct fog lights. Providing the premium appeal of the crossover is the abundant use of chrome trims at the front.
