The X70 C-DM is a worthy offering in the mid-size SUV space, with pricing undoubtedly its biggest drawcard. In China, the Jetour X70 C-DM is currently priced from around ¥169,800 ($25,850 USD at current exchange rates), which represents a strong value proposition for a plug-in hybrid SUV. It sits in the middle of its main competitors, like the BYD Song Plus DM-i that starts at ¥151,800. The advanced hybrid powertrain that powers the Jetour X70 C-DM consists of a 1.5L turbocharged engine matched with an electric motor capable of producing a combined output of 300 horsepower, enabling the SUV to accelerate from zero-to-100 km/h in less than 8 seconds. Consequently, it's also one of the most expensive models on this list based on its $25,783 price tag.
With respect to the cost of the vehicle, one needs to focus on what a car will be worth 5 or 10 years down line. The hybrid system contributes to big fuel savings, as much as 1.2 liters per 100 kilomerers in hybrid mode according to some reports. This economy equates to a lower total cost of operation in the long term, saving owners money on fuel versus traditional gasoline-pow..... Industry experts say that the sort of mile-per-gallon savings seen here could translate into ¥15,000 — some contend that amount is closer to double using current statistics on driving habits and fuel prices for a typical driver per year.
Jetour adds it has targeted the X70 C-DM as a more affordable rival for models like hybrid versions from bigger brands. The vehicle comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen alongside a panoramic sunroof and intelligent driver assistance systems Having these features as standard is an extra bit of luxury that is missing in most vehicles in the X70 C-DM's price range, further adding to its value proposition.
The Jetour X70 C-DM also scored well in terms of its affordability, with Autohome pointing out the fact it comes with more technology and performance than several hybrid models at a similar price point. At that price, the X70 C-DM should be a real alternative to other non-hybrid models without the premium (pun intended) associated with getting an SUV that uses electric technology in its propulsion.
Li Xiang, a well-known industry expert came up with praise for the Jetour X70 C-DM: It establishes a new benchmark of price-effective hybrid SUVs and cost-performance by co-generation_nativeness, full intelligent-networking." With the affordability of the vehicle along with its hybrid fuel economy and technologies, many would opt for this car.
