Rent Jetour X70 Plus 2024 in Dubai

Divide a rental by the number of people it carries and the picture changes fast. A Jetour X70 Plus 2024 rented in Dubai for a family of six costs less per person than a compact hatchback does for a couple, runs on a small 1.5 litre turbo instead of the V6s that used to haul this many seats, and takes cards, cash, Apple Pay and even crypto when we hand it over. This page is the running-cost case for the white X70 Plus, and an honest note on where the budget maths stops working.

The value case

Three things keep the weekly cost of this car down. The engine is a 1.5 turbo, so fuel stops are unremarkable for something this size, with a 57 litre tank giving decent range between them. Insurance-included pricing means the number you see is the number you plan around. And because one X70 Plus replaces two taxis everywhere your group goes, the comparison isn't really against other rentals at all. Families running a week of malls, beaches and relatives' villas are exactly who it's built for.

Day to day, it's easy

At 4.75 metres, the X70 Plus is long but not intimidating. The driving position is high, the steering is light, and standard supermarket bays hold it with normal care, though you'll pick the end spots in older basement car parks. U-turns, the daily bread of Dubai driving, need a full lock but no drama. Speed bumps and mall ramps don't trouble it either.

Summer, three rows deep

Ask one question of any seven-seater in this climate: does the air actually reach the back? Here it does, through dedicated rear vents, so the people behind you aren't relying on whatever survives the journey from the dashboard. Pre-cool it for a few minutes after it's been parked in the sun and the whole cabin settles quickly. White paint helps too, soaking up noticeably less heat in a car park than the dark colours.

Know its limits

Honesty section. With every seat filled and the AC flat out, 156 hp means the X70 Plus gathers speed patiently, so leave gaps on highway on-ramps and don't expect instant response at 120. It drives the front wheels only, which is irrelevant on tarmac and disqualifying on dunes, so desert plans need a different car. And with seven aboard, hard luggage space runs out; soft bags or a folded third row solve it. None of this is unusual for the class. It's just worth knowing on booking day rather than departure day.

Our recommendation

Rent this X70 Plus when your week in Dubai involves more people than a normal car holds and a budget you actually intend to keep. It's the fleet's best value per seat by a distance, and the compromises are the honest, predictable kind. Couples and solo drivers should look at our Haval Jolion and keep the difference. Groups who want highway muscle and all-wheel drive under the same job description should price up the Jetour T2. Renters must be 21 with a year of licence history, and if plans change, cancellation is free up to 48 hours before pickup, which suits family trips that never quite firm up until the last minute.
