Jetour Dashing 2024

The Jetour Dashing was first introduced to the world in 2022 and was Jetour’s answer to the increasing demand for sporty SUVs. Featuring aggressive styling and great value for money, the sporty SUV was well received and steadily appeared in international Jetour showrooms. 

Here in the Philippines, Jetour made a grand entrance into the Philippine market by showcasing  a lineup of four cars, namely the X70, X70 Plus, the Ice Cream EV, and leading the charge was the sleek and stylish Dashing SUV. The Dashing along with other cars in Jetour’s lineup was officially launched in the Philippine market on April 13, 2023, on the first day of the 2023 Manila International Auto Show.

The Jetour Dashing is powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine that puts out 156 hp and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. This engine is paired with a six-speed wet dual-clutch transmission sending power to the front wheels.

Underneath, the Jetour Dashing is supported by MacPherson independent struts up front and a torsion beam suspension setup at the rear. Braking power comes from disc brakes on all four wheels. The front wheels get ventilated disc brakes while solid discs are fitted on the rear wheels.

For entertainment and convenience, the Jetour Dashing is equipped with a 12.8-inch touchscreen paired with six speakers. The Dashing comes with a smart key with an auto-lock and window lift function when exiting the vehicle, and a function to start the engine from outside. 

As for safety, the Dashing has advanced driver-assist features which include, a blind-spot detection system, a lane-change warning system, a rear parking sensor, a rear cross-traffic alert, and a 360-degree parking camera.

In the entire Jetour lineup, the Dashing is the most unique in terms of looks. Compared to the X70 and X70 Plus which bear the relatively conservative looks normally found in most crossovers, the Dashing is bold and aggressive. Up front, there’s no getting away from the Dashing’s massive grille. The grille is composed of horizontal slats that form a honeycomb pattern across the front end. At the edges are the headlights which give the illusion that the Dashing’s grille extends all the way to the edges of the bumper. Up top, the Dashing’s sleek DRLs can be found which give the crossover a dominating look. 

At the sides, you’ll find 19-inch alloy wheels which give the crossover its height as well as fender flares that give the wheel wells a bit of muscle. At the back, the Dashing has sleek LED taillights that extend from the back and to the sides slightly. At the top of the tailgate, you’ll find an additional brake light mounted on the spoiler. At the bottom portion of the bumper, there’s a pair of reflectors mounted at the sides.

Inside, the Jetour Dashing has a modern interior that carries a premium aesthetic thanks to its layout and design. The interior of the Jetour comes with a choice of two colors, black or white. A minimalist design is used in a number of key areas, ranging from the two-spoke steering wheel to the infotainment display, and even the shift knob. The center console does not feature many physical buttons as most of the Dashing’s in-car controls are consolidated in the 12.8-inch touchscreen display.
