Based on the X70, the X70 Lightning i-DM is a three-row 7-seater SUV measuring in at 4,785 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,720 mm in height. It sports a 2,745 mm wheelbase.

While it shares the X70’s turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, because it packs dual electric motors, outputs rise to 271 horsepower and 395 Nm of torque, enough for a 0 to 100 km/h time of 7.7 seconds. Moreover, thanks to a 19.34-kWh lithium-ion battery, it’ll have a 110-kilometer all-electric range. Together with a full tank of gas, it goes up to 1,200 kilometers. Meanwhile, charging takes just 25 minutes (20 to 80 percent charge). Transmission duties are handled by a two-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT).

Confirmed by Jetour, four colors will be offered: Coral White, Marble Gray, Jade Green, and Pebble Gray. The first two colors will come with a Mocha interior, while the latter two will have a Burgundy interior.

Full specs and final pricing will be revealed closer to launch but given that Jetour’s taking some potshots against a “cramped 5-seater hybrid,” it’s very likely that they’re targeting the likes of the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Honda HR-V, price-wise. This could mean a price tag of around P 1.7- to P 1.9-million.
