Despite the power, it's 3+ tonnes. Air down to 12-15 PSI, enable Sand + lockers, and use the motors' instant torque with smooth throttle — never floor it.
6.6 kW V2L runs a fridge, lights, and grill; the in-car fridge keeps drinks cold; air suspension lowers the car for easier sleeping.
170 kW charging generates less heat than 400V at the same speed — a 10-min fast stop restores 100+ km of EV range.
Jetour's KSA dealer (Alromaih) has a strong central/western network — book service directly via app or website.

How do I X — quick tasks every owner should know.
Hidden features, easter eggs, and tricks you won't find in the manual — from real owners.
Open the car app 10 min before leaving. Cabin cools, battery pre-conditions for charging. Saves time, max comfort in 50° summers.
In countries with time-of-use rates (UAE Slab 1), schedule 23:00-06:00 to save 20-40% on your electricity bill.
Park in P, enable Camp Mode from menu or voice command. AC stays on, screens dim. Uses only ~1 kWh/hour.
Set regen to highest (One-Pedal or High). Cuts brake wear 60%+ and adds 5-10% range in city traffic.
A small bump (~0.2 bar above recommended) reduces rolling resistance and adds 3-5% range. Also a heat-safety win.
The built-in fridge under the armrest stays cold even parked (drawing from the battery) — cold water ready after any trip in summer Ramadan.
One stop at a 180 kW station gives ~100 km of EV in 10 minutes — if a fast station is on your commute route, daily driving becomes nearly free.
Instead of managing the throttle on tricky sand, enable Crawl Control and let the car meter power itself — focus fully on steering and line choice.
The windshield-wide display shows navigation and off-road data (angles, altitude, compass) in a dedicated layout — enable Off-road mode in the screen settings.
