Jetour’s 7-seater SUV now officially named VT9
Following the launch of the Dashing model, Jetour Malaysia has confirmed that another seven-seater family SUV will soon be arriving in Malaysia.
Unlike the name used in international markets, this three-row SUV will be known as the Jetour VT9, as indicated in a post on Instagram.
The Jetour VT9 was first showcased at the 2024 Malaysia Autoshow.
Recently, Jetour displayed the right-hand drive (RHD) version of the VT9 at the Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao hotel, coinciding with the Jetour Together For Future conference and 2025 Auto Shanghai.
The VT9 is fundamentally a D-segment SUV with dimensions of 4,724 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,720 mm in height, along with a wheelbase of 2,720 mm.
In Malaysia, it will compete with models such as the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro and the Proton X90.
In terms of power, the VT9 features the same 1.5-liter turbo engine used in the Dashing model, paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT).
Based on the displayed RHD model, the VT9’s cabin layout closely resembles that of the Dashing, featuring amenities such as a dual 10.25-inch display, a steering wheel, push-button start styled like Mercedes, a wireless device charger, and a Jetour gear knob.
The most noticeable difference between the two models is the design of the door panels and the finishing on the front seats.
Further specifications and pricing details will only be revealed ahead of the official launch set to take place at the 2025 Malaysia Autoshow next month.
