Jetour

Cherry is bringing six new brands to Australia, six brands within a year.

Lepus, Freelander, Icar, Jetour, Xlantics, and Luxeed.

Goodness me, I'm confused just thinking about all the Cherry brands here.

So its own boss is telling you most of the industry is bleeding while his company floods the market with badges and models.

So that's why they named it iCore.

Jetour.

Jetour.

I'm pronouncing it French for some reason.

I don't know how they pronounce it.

colors oh yeah but yes it will come with more interesting colors out of factory then icorp It's going to be focused on distinctive technology-focused SUVs.

It's going to start with the I-Core V25.

Jetour, instead of being technology-focused, it's going to be adventure-focused.

It's made strictly for car owners so that when we have issues, we can say amongst ourselves and send to our technicians and then they can respond to it.

In that room, we have the Toyota, the Lexus, the Honda, Opel, GAC, Jettor, every car brand you can think of.

that you know they have subgroups there so if you want to join the WhatsApp group send me a WhatsApp message please Mr. Adisa kindly add me to your WhatsApp group and the number to join are the car love shows WhatsApp group because what's the essence of doing this show afterwards there is no you are still stranded you know you can't get to talk to somebody about your vehicle and you are feeling bad about as to what your technician told you you know and in that group you find somebody who has had a similar issue with your car so The number that you can reach out to me is 080-944-96086.

Again, 080-944-96086.

Give us some parameters to work within as a really helpful and essential starting point to the conversation.

Safia, what's your view? Which would you choose between the new Haval H7 or a Jetour J2?

Ooh, Haval H7 or Jetour J2.

I don't think I've driven any of those two.

Aval, I think, is...

Automobile

Association of South Africa has raised some serious concerns about the safety regulatory approval and legal implications of increased payload ratings for the Jetour T1 and T2.

Independent weight bridge testing has now revealed mixed results with one model falling short of its claimed capacity, while questions remain over outstanding approvals, vehicle license disc ratings and potential risks for motorists.

Joining us to unpack the findings, explain what they mean for existing owners and discuss whether South Africa needs stricter local vehicle testing requirements is Bobby Ramaguere.

There were concerns about it being maybe not enough, depending on what you were going to do with the car, how many people were going to be in it, what you were going to tow.

And the car went for a, what would you call it, a re-evaluation and came back with a different number?

So it wasn't really a re-evaluation, it was a re-application by Jetour, who in essence said, okay, we'd like to, and I'm simplifying it, basically went to the NRCS and said, we'd like to change the number that we submitted last time from 300 to a staggering 475.

Now that's the point at which it raised the AA's eyebrow, asking the question, what justified that change if mechanically we're dealing with exactly the same car, same chassis, same braking system, and same suspension.

He said, "Good morning, guys." This is an interesting one for us, Naz.

"I own a Jetour T1," that he purchased from the agent with 10,000 kilometers running on it so far.

"Every now and then," he said, "I hear a friction noise coming from the brakes.

I've visited the agent several times to find out what the cause is, but the response is that this is normal because they use ceramic brakes.

... ceramic brakes, um, are, are a very expensive, uh, performance brake option.

Generally, if you spec a car with ceramics, you're paying 50, 80,000 dirhams extra, and very rarely do you get a car with ceramic brakes less than a list price of 6, 7, 800,000 dirhams.

So, um, unless I'm wrong, Elite Jetour, please correct me if I'm wrong, but the T1s do not come with ceramic brakes, so that would not be causing the problem.

Having said that, um, if it were ceramic brakes, ceramic brakes do squeak when they're cold, and that's completely normal-

26 just feels like, "Oh, by then, yeah, I'll be a CA.

I'll be some finance girly driving a Merc." And fast-forward to now, I am a content creator driving a sponsored Jetour.

Close enough.

It's amazing, yeah.

But moves like this are part of a bigger consolidation effort we're seeing in China because it has too many plants making too many vehicles, and now we can include Chery in this conversation.

It's gonna integrate both its domestic and international operations together under the leadership of a single person, and its Jetour brand, which was established as a mass market brand, will start making higher end off-road vehicles.

And circling back to FAW, it's planning to deploy humanoid robots at its factories with its other joint venture partner in China, Volkswagen.

The automakers have teamed up with robotics company Ubtech to develop and test humanoids for logistics and smart manufacturing.
