Jetour X50

edit

International version

edit

The Jetour X50 is a rebaged variant of the Soueast DX5 sold by Jetour in oversea markets. News of a Jetour X50 serving as the entry model of the Jetour brand surfaced as early as May 2021, with camouflaged prototypes being spotted doing road tests.[7] However, the model was unveiled to be renamed to Jetour X-2 during the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show which later became the Jetour Shanhai L6 and Jetour Dashing 2024 model year facelift. In 2022, Soueast Motor began a significant partnership with Chery Automobile to revitalize its product lineup, which was experiencing declining sales and aging models. This collaboration, which began in 2022, saw Soueast adopting Chery's technology and platform sharing, often through "badge-engineering" or rebadging Chery models (specifically from the Jetour brand) as new Soueast vehicles. At the same time, Soueast models were rebadged to become Jetour models as well, with the Soueast DX5 receiving a facelift restyle to become the Jetour X50. The powertrain of the Jetour X50 is a 1.5 liter turbo inline-4 developing a maximum power output of 156hp (115kW) mated to a 6-speed dual clutch transmission.[8] The Soueast DX5-based Jetour X50 was launched in oversea markets such as Malaysia from early 2024.[9] In the Philippines, the Jetour X50 was launched in October 2024.[10] In Nigeria, the Jetour X50 was launched by Jetour Nigeria in 2025.[11][12][13]

Chinese version

edit

The Chinese domestic version Jetour X50 was unveiled in China with the MIIT released photos published on 9 June 2026. The styling is different from the versions sold overseas featuring a restyled front bumper, and the rear end components including the tail lamp, tail gate, and rear bumper from the Soueast DX3 while featuring a restyled rear rocker panel. The powertrain is a 1.5 liter turbo engine developing 115kW and a top speed of 185kmh.[14]
