Does the Jetour X70 Plus Interior Actually Feel Premium?

Saudi Arabia: After spending time inside the SUV, the answer is mostly yes; the Jetour X70 Plus cabin feels more premium than its price suggests when you first step in. The seats are comfortable for family use, the screens are modern, and features like wireless charging and ambient lighting give it an upmarket vibe during night drives. Space in all three rows is practical for daily use or school runs. However, once you start living with the car, you might notice some harder plastics around the lower dashboard and door panels. It looks impressive but doesn’t quite match the finish of more expensive rivals.

Bold Exterior Design 

The front end wants your attention. A wide chrome grille sits between sharp LED headlamps. This creates the kind of face that looks aggressive in showroom lighting and slightly too busy in harsh Jeddah sunlight. Jetour calls it their "Huicheng Qiaochu" family design.

The body measures 4,749 mm long and 1,900 mm wide. That's roomier than a Hyundai Tucson but smaller than a Toyota Fortuner. The 2,745 mm wheelbase is generous, which translates to actual legroom inside. LED daytime running lights are standard. Full LED headlamps come on the LUX trim. They're bright enough for dark desert roads, though the beam pattern isn't as refined as what you get from Japanese rivals.

Alloy wheels are 18 inches on the base Comfort trim and 20 inches on the LUX. The bigger wheels look better, but they also mean a harsher ride on broken Riyadh roads. Saudi asphalt is not kind to thin sidewalls. If you drive mainly in the city, the 18s are probably smarter. The rear design is cleaner than the front. LED taillights wrap around the corners. The tailgate opens wide, which helps when loading groceries from Panda or luggage for a Taif trip.

Smart Interior

This is where Jetour spent the money. The dashboard layout is clean, with a 10.25-inch touchscreen that dominates the cockpit. It runs smoothly, responds to touch inputs quickly, and includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both work wirelessly on the LUX trim. That's rare at this price point. The graphics are not as premium as a German SUV's, but the interface is logical. You won’t struggle through menus while driving.

Leather seats come standard. Real leather, not the vinyl some competitors pass off as "leatherette. " The front seats are power-adjustable with six-way controls on the Comfort and eight-way controls on the LUX. The LUX also gets heating and ventilation. These are useful during Riyadh's winter mornings and brutal summer afternoons. The seats hold you well enough.

The seven-seat configuration means three rows. The second row slides and reclines. Adults can sit comfortably there, even on long trips. The third row is different. It's okay for kids or teenagers. Adults will survive short trips to Al Khobar but will complain on the drive to Abha. That's normal for this class. The X70 Plus isn't pretending to be a Suburban.

Storage matters in a family SUV. Cupholders are plentiful in the front and second row, and there are even small ones in the third row. There's a wireless charging pad up front (LUX only). The multiple USB ports mean kids won't fight over charger access. The center console armrest is large and padded. Under-floor storage compartments help hide valuables. The ambient lighting adds a nice touch at night. Seven colors, adjustable through the screen.

The Climate Control Challenge

Saudi heat tests every air conditioning system. The X70 Plus has dual-zone automatic climate control on the Comfort and tri-zone on the LUX. The system cools the cabin adequately, but it takes a few minutes when you first start the car after it's been parked in the Riyadh sun. That's true for most cars at this price. Pre-cooling via the mobile app would be nice, but Jetour doesn't offer that yet.

Rear vents for the second and third rows are present. Third-row vents are small. If you are regularly carrying seven people in July, the third-row passengers will be warm. Tinted windows help, and they are dark enough to keep the traffic police happy while still cutting heat.

The Saudi Context

Saudi buyers notice details. The X70 Plus will impress your extended family when you pick them up from the airport. The space, the screen, the leather – these things show well. But when your mechanically inclined cousin pokes around and notices the plastic engine cover or the simpler suspension setup compared to his Tucson, you hear about it. The design works for what it is: a value-oriented family SUV trying to punch above its price. It succeeds more often than it fails. 

The exterior makes a statement. The interior delivers space and features. The materials remind you that you're not driving a luxury vehicle, but they don't embarrass you either. In Riyadh traffic or parked outside Al Faisaliyah Tower, the X70 Plus fits in.
