Jetour Nigeria is set to showcase its advanced X70 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, PHEV, at the Jetour Experience Abuja, scheduled to hold from September 22 to 24, 2026, as the fast-growing auto brand intensifies efforts to deepen its presence in the Nigerian market.

The Abuja edition follows a successful outing in Lagos earlier this year, which generated strong consumer interest, robust test drives and significant sales momentum across Jetour models.

According to the company, the decision to extend the showcase to the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, was driven by rising demand and enquiries from residents in Abuja and neighbouring states.

The three-day event will offer visitors opportunity to test-drive the X70 PHEV alongside other Jetour models, engage with product specialists and experience firsthand the brand’s hybrid technology, safety features and interior comfort.

Jetour Nigeria, the sole authorised distributor of the brand in the country, says the X70 PHEV comes with a 5-year or 150,000-kilometre warranty to boost buyer confidence.

The vehicle is supported by an accredited nationwide dealer network comprising Elizade Nigeria Limited, New Era Auto Vehicle Services Limited, Kojo Motors, Germaine Auto Centre, Tab Autos Limited, R.T. Briscoe Motors and Mandilas Autos.

The X70 PHEV combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a 19.43kWh battery and Dedicated Hybrid Transmission, DHT, delivering a blend of performance and fuel efficiency.

The hybrid SUV supports multiple charging options including fast charging, slow charging, engine charging and regenerative braking charging, thereby reducing dependence on external charging infrastructure.

Jetour’s rapid growth in Nigeria has attracted both private and corporate patronage, driven by competitive pricing, high specification levels and expanding after-sales network.

The brand was named “Fastest Growing Auto Brand of the Year” at the 2024 Nigeria Auto Journalists Association, NAJA, Awards.

With the X70 PHEV leading its Abuja showcase, Jetour said it aims to further deepen customer engagement and consolidate its position in Nigeria’s evolving automotive market.
