Compared to the standard Jetour X90, the newly launched “Plus” version of the seven-seat crossover SUV sports design improvements and comes with a more powerful engine. The old version is still available with 1.5- and 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines rated at 156 PS and 197 PS, respectively. The new one offers a third option: a 2.0-liter turbo mill good for 254 PS. A seven-speed Getrag DCT comes to replace its less sophisticated six-speed version. The drive stays affixed to the front axle.
The wheelbase is unchanged at 2,850 mm,
but the overall length of the car gains 18 mm for a total of 4,858 mm. All trim
levels envision three seat rows. Elsewhere, the newcomer boasts a larger front
grille, slimmer headlights and taller anti-fog lights. The taillights are
connected with a light strip. Things stay the same in the cabin except for the
gear selector, which is now an electronic joystick instead of a mechanical
lever.
Despite its large dimensions and giant
20-inch wheels, the Jetour X90 Plus is comparatively affordable at
102,000–164,000 Chinese Yuan (US$ 16,000–US$ 25,600 at the current conversion
rates).
