Jetour is set to occupy a distinct position within Chery’s expanding stable of automotive brands, with a focus on more rugged vehicle designs and potentially greater off-road capability. The brand is expected to follow a relatively narrow path as Chery broadens its line-up, differentiating itself through a tougher styling approach rather than competing directly across the same territory as its sister marques.
