Intelligent voice control enables drivers to operate a range of vehicle functions using simple voice commands, including multimedia, telephone, air conditioning and window controls, allowing them to stay focused on the road while enjoying greater convenience.
An immersive eight-speaker Sony sound system further enhances the driving experience, while multiple USB-A and USB-C ports ensure every passenger stays connected and powered up on every journey.
Safety remains a vital priority for the Jetour X70 Plus, with a comprehensive suite of both active and passive safety technologies including six airbags (front, side and curtain), ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control and Hill Descent Control.

Rear parking sensors are fitted as standard on the Prestige model, with the Prime derivative also including front parking sensors.
One of this model’s most significant upgrades is the addition of Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) – a collection of intelligent safety technologies that can simultaneously assist with steering, accelerating and braking under certain driving conditions. This feature includes adaptive cruise control, integrated cruise assist, active emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert and intelligent high/low beam assist. Once only available for certain luxury vehicles, ADAS has become one of the automotive industry’s most sought-after safety innovations.
