Verdict
At RM106,800 apiece, the Proton X70 makes the harder performance-and-safety case: its 178 hp and 290 Nm beat the Jetour Dashing’s 154 hp and 230 Nm, while six airbags cover the Dashing’s four. The X70 also carries 515 litres of luggage versus 486 litres and brings a 360-degree camera. But the Dashing is 58 mm longer with a 50 mm longer wheelbase, includes blind-spot monitoring and backs itself with a seven-year/150,000-km vehicle warranty plus a 10-year/1,000,000-km engine warranty. Pick on priorities, not price.
Pick the Jetour Dashing if blind-spot monitoring, a 2,720 mm wheelbase and substantially longer warranty cover matter more than outright performance and a 360-degree camera.
Pick the Proton X70 if you want 178 hp, 290 Nm, six airbags, a 515-litre boot and more day-to-day convenience equipment for the same money.
