Dashing Warranty
The latest Chinese brand to enter the South African market is Jetour. They launched in SA in early October with two models, the X70 and the Dashing. These mid-size SUVs have high levels of tech and features that appeal to a large swathe of consumers. Then there is the warranty, which is hard to ignore.
