There are four rectangular light sources on both sides of the front bumper of the new car, which are outlined with chrome trim strips, highlighting the sense of fashion and home.
Viewed from the side, the new car adopts a three-waistline design, in which the topmost waistline runs through the front and rear door handles and is connected with the taillight group, creating a diving visual effect. At the same time, Jetway X70 is also equipped with a roof rack and a new style of double five-spoke wheels.

The introduction of the sports version shows that Jetway X70 will pay more attention to the market of young consumers, pay attention to providing personalized products for them, and with a suitable price, it should have a good market prospect.
Editor’s comment:
Chery’s exploration of multi-brand road has never stopped. It has previously launched sub-brands such as Ruilin and others. This time, it launched Jetway product series for the emerging "Travel+"market, hoping to meet the needs of different consumers with different products. From Jietu X70′ s point of view, there are obvious differences between the new car and the existing models of Chery brand. The brand-new design gives people a refreshing feeling, which is suitable for young consumers’ fresh and distinctive needs. From the configuration point of view, it pays more attention to simplicity and practicality, and also strives for high cost performance. Its market performance is worth looking forward to.

8 has been officially unveiled on February 1 and will be listed in April. The Tiggo 8 is positioned as a 7-seat medium-sized vehicle, adopting the latest design language of the Chery brand, and will be sold as the flagship SUV of the Chery brand.
The front air intake grille of the new car adopts a large area of black mesh material, creating a good sense of weight. At the same time, the air intakes on both sides of the front of the new car are also integrated with LED daytime running lights, which further highlights the fashionable sports color.
The roof line is relatively straight, which is conducive to creating a relaxed head space for rear passengers. There is an obvious upward trend behind the C-pillar, creating a diving visual effect. The tail shape of the new car is relatively simple, and the design of several horizontal banners adds a touch of muscle. The most conspicuous thing is that it adopts a brand-new palindrome family taillight shape, and the effect is cool after lighting.
Editor’s comment:
Chery Tiggo 8 is responsible for the brand’s "going up". It is expected that Chery will adopt the highest standard configuration in power and configuration, and its final production model is worth looking forward to. In Tongzhong, there are strong competing products such as L, Hehe, etc. It is not easy to gain a foothold in this market. Tiggo 8 also needs to come up with strong product strength and competitive price.
● new style
The new Arrizo 5 is expected to be launched in 2018. The new car is mainly upgraded in interior and configuration, while the appearance basically maintains the existing shape, and the power continues the existing 1.5L and 1.5T engines.

Editor’s comment:
The new Arrizo 5 also pays more attention to the improvement of "internal strength". The appearance has not changed much, but the interior and configuration have been improved obviously. The new interior design is more fashionable, and the configuration is expected to be improved. The power system is basically unchanged, and the estimated price is also It will be the same as the current model.
● Jietu X60//
At the JETOUR product launch on January 22 this year, Chery not only brought the JETOUR X70 and two 7-seat medium-sized SUVs, but also announced that the JETOUR X60, X90 and X95 SUVs will be unveiled at the auto show. Jetway X60 is also positioned as a 7-seat medium-sized SUV, but the body size is slightly smaller than X70. The Jetway X90 and X95 are located in 7 seats, and the body size will exceed 5 meters. There is no more news at present, and we will continue to follow up.
Editor’s comment:
Jietu is a product sequence of "Travel+"brand-new market segment launched by Chery Commercial Vehicle Group for second-child and multi-population families and holiday travel. Judging from the information published so far, it mainly introduces 7-seat and relatively large SUVs or models, which is also a measure to meet the market demand. In addition, Jietu also attaches great importance to new energy vehicles, and its products will all be launched with electric models, which are generally listed about 6 months later than the fuel version, which is also in line with the trend of industrial development.
■ Summary
In the past 2017, Chery’s overall sales volume dropped by 1% year-on-year, and its sales ranking dropped out of the top five brands in China. It can be said that 2018 is a year for Chery to catch up. This year, Chery is expected to invest 10 new SUV models in the SUV market, especially the brand-new Jietu products, which mainly focus on the "Travel+"market. It will pay more attention to the market segments of young consumers and multi-person travel, and will also make some efforts in the field of shared cars. These measures cater to the current development trend of the automobile market, and Chery’s market performance this year is worth looking forward to.
In terms of specific models, I personally think that Tiggo 8 and EXEED TX are more worthy of attention. Tiggo 8 will be the current flagship SUV of Chery brand, which shows Chery’s latest family-style design and will be equipped with Chery’s latest technology configuration and power system. On it, we will see the development trend of other new cars of Chery. EXEED TX is an important model for Chery to open the European market, and its technology, materials and configuration will reflect the highest level of Chery, so interested friends can focus on it.
