Whether you’re a freshly licensed driver or a first-time buyer, a car with a low price tag is simply not enough these days. Value is the name of the game: For most people, the ideal vehicle offers the most features at the lowest possible entry price.
Suppose you happen to be looking for a vehicle that boasts a spacious cabin with a large cargo area, sufficient ground clearance, a strong and efficient engine, and features normally seen in more expensive models. In that case, Jetour has a small crossover that fits the bill: the Jetour X50. Here’s why it’s worthy of being in your shortlist.
1) It has features for your convenience.
In-car connectivity is a must these days, which is why the X50 comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Plus, at the push of a button, the voice command system allows you to make calls, change music tracks, and more without ever taking your eyes off the road.
The 20.5-inch dual screen houses the instrument cluster and the infotainment system in one neat package. Wireless charging means no more dealing with cluttered cables, and cruise control makes long highway drives easier.
2) It has an eye for safety.
The X50 is equipped with features that help keep occupants and other road users safe. For instance, the 360-degree-view cameras take the guesswork out of maneuvering in tight spots, while blind-spot detection and lane-change assist reduce the risk of sideswipe incidents. Further boosting its safety credentials is rear cross-traffic alert to make backing out of parking spaces less dangerous, and the door-opening warning means everyone in the X50 can alight from the vehicle without fear of oncoming traffic. These systems, all standard in the X50 Sport, ensure safety for all.
3) It’s got form...and function.
With its bold and distinct front-end design, the X50 stands out from the crowd. The vertical slats on the grille give off a tall, imposing look, while the daytime running lights leave a distinct signature. There are five colors to choose from, all of which complement the stylish body. And yes, 18-inch alloys are standard on both variants.
While it’s a subcompact crossover in terms of dimensions, the X50 makes smart use of space on the inside, offering generous leg- and headroom as well as a large cargo capacity. Plus, the high ground clearance of 160mm means this crossover is also a foul-weather friend.
4) It’s powerfully efficient.
Performance should not come at the expense of efficiency, especially when fuel prices fluctuate greatly. The X50’s 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine blends lively and responsive performance by delivering 154hp and 220Nm on tap, all while keeping fuel consumption low and efficient. It’s further helped by a slick six-speed wet-type dual-clutch transmission that ensures smooth shifts that optimize power and economy.
5) It starts for under P1 million.
The lineup kicks off with the already well-equipped Travel variant at just P988,000. Meanwhile, the top-spec Sport version can be yours at a reasonable price of P1,088,000. To sweeten the deal, the X50 comes with a six-year or 1,000,000km warranty (whichever comes first). If that’s not enough, Jetour even has a 10-year warranty for its engines.
All in all, the X50 is built with the daily drive in mind and as your dependable on-road companion for many years to come. This crossover is also proof that style, practicality, technology, and safety need not come with a hefty price tag.
