When launching in September last year, the new SUV brand Jetour was on the lookout for local lifestyle, travel, and tech influencers who would authentically embody the brand’s authenticity, passion, and creativity. With her background as an international eSports host and content creator, fitness fanatic and lover of all things tech, TechGirl, Samantha Wright, was one of the standout choices.
The 5-seat Jetour Dashing, as well as the 7-seat Jetour X70 Plus – the two models currently available in South Africa – are packed with cutting-edge technology and innovation. Wright is always ahead of digital trends, passionate about gadgets, and irresistibly drawn to the latest tech innovations, which made her the perfect tech ambassador for the brand.
Over the last six months while driving her crimson red Jetour Dashing, Wright has experienced for herself what this worldclass automotive offering is all about. Not surprisingly, she says the tech features are her favourite!
She says aspects of the car keep pleasantly surprising her, including its Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
“Think about how often you forget to check tyre pressure at the petrol station, or you’re in a rush so just don’t do it,” she says. Her Dashing alerts her when the pressure in one tyre needs attention. “I loved that the vehicle was intuitive enough to tell me when there was an issue and monitor it for me. If you’re always on the go, that’s such a big plus,” she says.
The Jetour Dashing and X70 Plus are both equipped with a wide range of advanced technology features designed to enhance the driving experience, including cutting-edge infotainment systems with large touchscreen displays, supporting Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and advanced navigation features for seamless connectivity.
“The customisation options offered by the technology are incredibly fun for me. You can adjust the mood lighting, choose what information is displayed, and fine-tune the onboard settings to suit your personal preferences and optimise your needs,” she says.
In addition to its tech-savvy infotainment system, the technology in the Jetour works together to enhance driver safety on the road. Both the Dashing and X70Plus stand out for their advanced driver-assistance technologies, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automated parking.
Jetour seamlessly combines cutting-edge technology and innovative design to redefine the driving experience, continuing to push the boundaries of automotive technology, providing drivers with both convenience and safety, ensuring a smarter, more enjoyable journey on the road.
