Verdict
At RM106,800, the Jetour Dashing Comfort is the sensible choice because its 154 hp/230 Nm 1.5-litre turbo and six-speed wet DCT are unchanged. The RM10,000 step to the RM116,800 Prime buys front and rear curtain airbags, a 360-degree camera, panoramic glass roof and 19-inch wheels, not extra pace. That safety and parking kit gives the Prime the better case for families, while its power-adjustable passenger seat is useful. But the Comfort uniquely has single-zone automatic climate control; the Prime makes do with manual AC. Buyers who do not need the added visibility and protection should keep the RM10,000.
Pick the Jetour Dashing Comfort if you want the same 154 hp powertrain and core convenience kit for RM10,000 less, and prefer automatic climate control.
Pick the Jetour Dashing Prime if front and rear curtain airbags, a 360-degree monitor and panoramic glass roof justify the RM10,000 premium.
