Jetour Dashing vs Maxus V80
Verdict
The Jetour Dashing costs RM106,800 against the Maxus V80’s RM102,076, so the RM4,724 gap gets you a five-seat C-segment SUV with 154 hp, a wet dual-clutch automatic and a much lower RM120 annual road tax. The Maxus V80 is a different tool: two seats, diesel torque of 330 Nm, manual drive and a 5,700 mm body. If this is family transport, the Dashing fits the brief better. If it is for work, the V80’s size and 80-litre tank matter more.
Pick the Jetour Dashing if you want a five-seat petrol SUV with automatic transmission, lower road tax and a longer warranty.
Pick the Maxus V80 if you need a large two-seat commercial vehicle with diesel torque, a manual gearbox and an 80-litre fuel tank.

Dashing vs V80 FAQ
Is the Jetour Dashing or Maxus V80 better?
For private use, the Jetour Dashing is the better fit because it has five seats, an automatic gearbox, lower road tax and a longer warranty. The Maxus V80 makes more sense as a commercial vehicle.
What is the price difference?
The Jetour Dashing costs RM4,724 more than the Maxus V80. That extra money buys a five-seat SUV layout, 154 hp petrol power and a 7-year warranty instead of 3 years.
Which one is easier to live with daily?
The Jetour Dashing should be easier for daily use: it is shorter, narrower, lower and automatic. The Maxus V80 is far larger at 5,700 mm long and 2,383 mm wide, with a manual gearbox.
