2024 Jetour Dashing
The Jetour Dashing is an automotive oddity: A fully realized vehicle from a brand that didn’t exist until just a few years ago. But a brand backed by big pockets. Built on the new Kunlun vehicle architecture as a joint-venture between Chery Automotive and Huawei, the Dashing serves as a testbed for technologies such as plug-in electrification and Level 2 autonomous driving. Real cutting-edge stuff.
But locally, Jetour will focus on covering the competitive lower-to-middle segments of the market first, ranging from the P699k Ice Cream EV up to the P1.499 million X70 Plus SUV. The Dashing, at P1.329 million, may be near the top of that, but is comfortably cheaper than many like-for-like competitors.
Styling
It certainly doesn’t look cheap. The car’s original Chinese name, “Dasheng,” roughly translates to ‘loud.’ And the styling certainly is. It cobbles together bits of Lamborghini, Jaguar, Hyundai, and Lexus into something more cohesive than that laundry list suggests. It’s quite striking, with its muscular lines, checkerboard grille, Jaguar-smooth flanks and hidden door handles, and that slashing rear end, bookended by taillights that look like LED renditions of waving checkered flags.
Panel fit is commendably tight, especially around the frenched-in fender guards. The only naff bits are the rather glossy cladding on the C-Pillars and the plastic assembly housing the rear camera and third brake light. The rest is solid and sits nicely on 19-inch two-tone wheels with relief-cut plastic inserts, wrapped in meaty 235/55 R19 Wan-Li Flash AS028 tires.
Interior
The Dashing features a clean, upright dashboard sitting behind a large 12.8-inch touchscreen. A bit sad we don’t have the 15.6-inch 2K screen from the top-spec Chinese variant, but this is still comfortably biggest-in-class.
The interior borrows heavily from sports car themes, with black and red leather seats with suede inserts and one-piece seat backs. Dashboard panels textured to look like naked carbon look better than actual naked carbon fiber, and the open inner door handles feature leather pull-straps. Most high-contact surfaces are soft-touch, though the rear door cards are of noticeably harder plastic than the fronts. Par for the course, nowadays.
There’s a dual cellphone tray featuring 12V, USB-A, USB-C, and an astonishingly fast 50W wireless charging pad. There are three further USB-A slots inside and behind the center box, where there’s a cubby near the floor for gadget charging. While you’re down there charging your phone, take time to admire the quilted leather floor mats. Good luck keeping them clean, but dear Lord are they lovely.
Front seat space is expansive, though the center console does feel an inch or two too wide. There’s lots of elbow room in the cavernous rear seat and a nice bit of adjustable recline. The trunk features a tonneau cover and a split-level floor panel slot, allowing you to choose between maximum cargo or a flat loading floor. There’s an extra floor panel underneath that so your emergency equipment and tools aren’t sitting on top of a naked spare tire.
Engine performance
While the Dashing’s engine bay can accommodate everything up to an insane 326hp plug-in hybrid, the local 1.5-liter turbo looks a bit lost in all that space and plastic cladding. With 156hp and 230Nm of torque transmitted to the front wheels through a six-speed dual-clutch automatic, it scoots from 0-100kph in around 11.2sec. Not quite in tune with the racy looks.
Fuel economy is difficult to measure-due to reasons we’ll discuss later-but hovers between 18-20km/L at 80kph in Eco Mode, and between 6-8km/L in traffic, about what you’d expect given the power and size. No paddle shifters here, but you get a manual mode on the shift lever, as well as a Sport Mode accessible through the in-vehicle menus.
