Following the emergence of its imminent arrival on local soil in June, Chery-owned Jetour has provided an official preview of the models it will be bringing to market from September this year.
Separate flight pathThe seventh sub-brand under Chery ownership, the others being Jaecoo, Omoda, Exeed, iCar, Karry and the electric Luxeed division, the SUV -specialising Jetour division arrives in South Africa six years after its founding in China as a separate entity from its parent.
Similar, therefore, to Omoda and Jaecoo who operate under the standalone O J banner, Jetour will have no affiliation to Chery South Africa from a sales, aftersales and customer support basis.
In addition, Jetours spare parts division operates from a 4000 square metre facility in Kyalami housing a claimed 82000 parts in contrast to Chery s own warehouse opened in Boksburg last year.
South Africa being the second right-hand-drive market after Malaysia to receive its products, which, since 2018 has raked-up sales of 1 180 000 units in 60 countries, the initial Jetour range will consist of two models with an additional pair following in 2025.
