The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
Jetour Auto Philippines, Inc. (JAPI), recently appointed as the exclusive country distributor of Jetour automobiles, came up with a superb pricing scheme as it showcased a futuristic-looking crossover with several variants together with the most affordable electric vehicle in the market today during a press preview held at the Okada Manila.
“Jetour is a new name in the booming local auto industry which will set a new dimension in owning cars for the Filipino people. We have come up with a very attractive pricing scheme coupled with various incentives that are very attractive and affordable to those who would want quality and great looking vehicles,” said Lito Jose, the managing director of JAP who is a noted industry stalwart.
Jetour is being backstopped by two major players in the automotive business – The Gateway Group and AutoSpeedyGo. “We believe that the collective experience and expertise bettween these two groups behind Jetour Auto Philippines will be invaluable and instrumental in guaranteeing the success of the brand in the country,” added Jose.
Jetour is headed by Yves Licup of AutoSpeedGo as its president while the vice president is Michael Goho. May de los Santos is the marketing director. Also on hand during the event is Wang Haifeng, the first of Asia & Pacific of the International Marketing Company of Chery Commercial Vehicle Co. Ltd. Jetour is initially targeting the setting up of 8 dealerships in key areas of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Among the cars that were presented were Jetour’s flagship vehicle Dashing crossover that is priced at a very attractive P1.329-million while the other internal combustion engine-SUVs are the Jetour X70, a 7-seater crossover which will be offered in three variants – the X70 Journey (P1.099-million), the X70 Tour (P1.259-million), and X70 Sport (P1.299-million). The more premium Jetour X70 Plus is priced at P1.499 million.
At the same time, Jetour also introduced the Ice Cream – a 3-door, fully electric hatchback that seats 4 people comfortably which will be sold for P699,000, the most affordable pure-electric vehicle so far to be sold in the country.
Jose also announced that all the Jetour vehicles will be backed up by a 6-year general warranty with unlimited mileage and a 10-year engine warranty, which will be a game-changer in the local auto industry.
The members of the media were given the opportunity to test-drive all the available vehicles as product specialists were on hand to explain the features of each vehicle they tested.
Established in 2018, Jetour is a crossover specialist and is based in the Wuhu Hi-tech Industrial Development Park on the bank of the Yangtze River. Jetour has already sold more than 550,000 vehicles, and boasts a reputation for cutting-edge SUVs.
