JETOUR Auto Philippines is launching the X70 Lightning i-DM, a seven-seater plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) positioned to challenge the five-seater hybrid SUV market by offering expanded capacity at a competitive price point. The X70 Lightning i-DM aims to appeal to buyers seeking both fuel efficiency and increased passenger and cargo space.
Having a seven-seater configuration at a ‘five-seater’s price’ serves as the X70’s primary selling point. With the third row folded, the X70 Lightning i-DM offers a substantial cargo area, comparable in size to a double bed. This addresses the needs of families or individuals requiring versatile space for passengers and belongings.
Additionally, this high performance Hybrid SUV produces a 0-100 kph acceleration time of 7.7 seconds, all whilst keeping fuel efficiency in check. The PHEV powertrain offers a claimed pure electric range of up to 110 km, increasing to around 1,200 km once utilized alongside the gasoline engine
JETOUR emphasizes the X70 Lightning i-DM’s value proposition, offering the seven-seat capacity and PHEV technology at a price comparable to existing five-seater hybrid SUVs. This pricing strategy aims to disrupt the market and attract buyers who may have previously considered smaller or less versatile hybrid vehicles.
