|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dashing Comfort | 1.5L turbo 156 PS / 230 Nm | 6-speed DCT | 4 airbags, ESC, reverse camera, 10.25-inch infotainment, LED lighting, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, powered tailgate | 109,800 |

Initial pricing of RM 109,800 (Comfort) and RM 116,800 (Prime) applies to fully-imported (CBU) units from Chery Group's Wuhu plant in China. CKD production at Berjaya Assembly Johor is planned for ramp-up through 2025-2026, potentially leading to price adjustments based on local content levels and EEV incentive eligibility. The first 500 buyers receive a RM 2,000 cash rebate, effectively pricing the Dashing Comfort at RM 107,800 in the launch promotional window.
Powertrain and Engineering Specifications
The Jetour Dashing uses the Chery 1.5L SQRE4T15B turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, also used across the broader Chery Group lineup (Omoda 5, Tiggo 5x, Tiggo 7 Pro) and Jaecoo 7. Output is 156 PS (115 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 230 Nm at 1,750-4,000 rpm, paired with a Chery-developed 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. 0-100 km/h takes approximately 10.5-11 seconds, top speed 180 km/h.
The 6-speed DCT (dual-clutch transmission) provides smoother gear changes than traditional 6-speed automatics, with faster shift response under hard acceleration. However, some dual-clutch transmissions in the Chery Group family have shown hesitation in low-speed creep and stop-go traffic, which Jetour Malaysia is addressing through firmware tuning specific to Malaysian traffic conditions. Service intervals for the DCT run 60,000 km for fluid replacement, with extended-life clutch packs designed for 200,000+ km operation under normal conditions.
Suspension layout is MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear, tuned for comfort-biased ride characteristics typical of mass-market C-segment SUVs. Ground clearance is 160 mm, matching the Proton X70 and suitable for urban driving plus light off-road use (gravel roads, kampung tracks, occasional flooding) but not designed for serious off-road terrain (the upcoming Jetour T2 will fill that role with body-on-frame chassis and 4WD).
Cabin Features and Equipment
The Dashing cabin features dual 10.25-inch screens (digital instrument cluster + central infotainment), with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, voice control with continuous OTA (over-the-air) software updates, and integrated navigation. The infotainment system response and clarity have received positive early reviews, with users praising the smooth UI animations and responsive touch detection.
Standard equipment across both variants includes:
- LED headlamps and LED daytime running lights
- Leatherette upholstery with contrast stitching
- Power-adjustable driver's seat with memory function
- Dual-zone climate control with rear vents
- Powered tailgate with hands-free open (foot-kick sensor)
- 6-speaker audio system (Comfort) or 8-speaker premium audio (Prime)
- Wireless smartphone charger
- USB charging ports for front and rear passengers
Cargo capacity is 486 litres with rear seats up, expanding to 977 litres with seats folded flat. Passenger space is comparable to rivals like the Honda CR-V (5-seat configuration), with a 2,720 mm wheelbase providing genuine adult rear legroom. The flat rear floor (enabled by FWD architecture without 4WD transfer case) supports comfortable middle-seat foot positioning for 5-up adult passenger journeys.
Safety and ADAS Equipment
The Dashing Comfort offers 4 airbags (dual front, dual side) plus ESC (Electronic Stability Control), ABS+EBD, hill start assist, hill descent control, reverse camera, and rear parking sensors as standard. The Dashing Prime upgrades to 6 airbags (adding curtain airbags) and the full Level 2 ADAS suite:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with stop-and-go capability
- Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) with lane centring
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian and cyclist detection
- Blind-Spot Monitoring (BSM) with rear cross-traffic alert
- 360-degree surround camera with 3D view
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Driver Monitoring System (drowsiness detection)
ASEAN NCAP testing for the Malaysian-spec Dashing is pending as of May 2026, but the Euro NCAP equivalent test on the Chery Group platform has achieved 5-star ratings on related Chery Omoda 5 ICE and Tiggo 7 Pro models, suggesting similar structural performance on the Dashing.

Jetour Dashing positions itself between Proton X70 (Malaysian brand premium) and Chery Tiggo 7 Pro (sister brand with established CKD assembly). The Dashing's RM 11,000 lower starting price than Proton X70 Premium X makes it attractive for budget-conscious buyers, while the 10-year engine warranty matches Chery Tiggo 7 Pro for long-term ownership confidence. Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid (RM 141,000) wins on Toyota reliability reputation and hybrid powertrain fuel economy, but at significantly higher OTR.
Upcoming Jetour Models: VT9 7-Seater and T2 Off-Road SUV
Jetour Malaysia has confirmed two additional model launches following the Dashing:
Jetour VT9 (Q2 2025): A larger D-segment SUV with proper third-row seating for 7-seat family configurations. The VT9 uses Chery Group's enhanced 1.6L or 2.0L turbocharged engine with 8-speed automatic transmission, targeting buyers cross-shopping the Mitsubishi Outlander (RM 153,200-170,800), Toyota Innova Zenix (RM 165,000-199,000), and Proton X90 (RM 123,800-152,800). Industry pricing estimates suggest RM 130,000-180,000 range based on variant specifications.
Jetour T2 (Q3 2025): A body-on-frame off-road SUV with rugged styling and genuine 4WD capability, competing against the Suzuki Jimny (RM 199,950), upcoming Toyota Land Cruiser variants, and used Mitsubishi Triton or Pajero. The T2 features ladder-frame chassis (unique versus most Chinese SUVs which use monocoque construction), low-range transfer case, locking differentials, and substantial ground clearance for genuine off-road terrain. Industry pricing estimates suggest RM 150,000-200,000 range based on variant specifications.
Both upcoming models will leverage the Berjaya Assembly Johor CKD plant for local production by 2026-2027, helping reduce OTR pricing through EEV incentives and local content optimisation.
Aftersales and Dealer Network
Jetour Malaysia is expanding the authorised dealer network with over 30 new 3S and 4S centres planned for completion through end-2025. Primary launch locations (late 2024 onwards) include Selangor (Klang, Petaling Jaya), Penang, Johor (Johor Bahru near Berjaya Assembly plant), and Sabah. Additional planned locations cover the Klang Valley urban centres, East Malaysia, and major Peninsular Malaysia cities like Malacca, Ipoh, and Kuantan.
Service technicians are trained at Berjaya Auto Group's central training facility plus Chery Group's Wuhu, China training programme. The Berjaya Auto Group infrastructure provides Jetour with established parts distribution warehouses, shared diagnostic equipment with other Berjaya-distributed brands, and centralised aftersales coordination. Spare parts inventory is secured nationwide with commitment to standard parts availability within 7-14 working days for non-stocked items, ordered through Berjaya Auto Group's distribution network.
The 5 free service sessions included with new car purchase cover scheduled maintenance items (engine oil, filters, brake fluid check, transmission fluid) at standard service intervals of 10,000 km. After the 5 free sessions, owners pay standard rates ranging RM 400-700 for minor service and RM 800-1,400 for major service, comparable to other Chinese brands in Malaysia and competitive with mid-tier Japanese mass-market service costs.
