The model’s story, including the river crossing that made it famous, is told in the SUV that crossed the Yangtze River. The country’s role as a regional launch pad is analysed in why car brands launch their models in Panama.
Three plug-in hybrids in the catalogue
JETOUR offers plug-in hybrid technology in three models: T1, T2 and G700. A plug-in hybrid has a battery that is recharged from a socket or charger and allows daily journeys to be made in electric mode; when the charge runs out or the trip is long, the petrol engine takes over.
How this technology works and which other brands offer it is explained in plug-in hybrids in Panama.
Warranty: what it covers and for how long
| Cover | Term published by Petromotors |
|---|---|
| Vehicle | 7 years or 200,000 km, whichever comes first |

As with any brand, cover is subject to following the maintenance schedule at the authorised workshop. It is advisable to request the conditions and exclusions in writing before signing.

JETOUR and Changan appear as the fastest-growing brands. The phenomenon is analysed in almost one in three new cars in Panama is Chinese and in the ranking of best-selling car brands in Panama.
What to check before buying a JETOUR
- Exact version and equipment. The differences between versions of the same model are wide; it is advisable to request the sheet for the unit quoted rather than for the model in general.
- Warranty in writing. Terms, mileage, exclusions and the maintenance conditions for keeping it.
- Parts and workshop. Which branch is nearest and what lead times it works to for wear and collision parts.
- Home charging, for plug-in hybrids. Which charger is included in the purchase, how long it takes and what electrical installation it requires.
- Test drive. Ideally on a route similar to real use, with hills and traffic.
- Current price and financing. Petromotors publishes them and they change with promotions; it is advisable to request a quotation with a validity date.
The general criteria for assessing any brand of this origin are in the guide to buying a Chinese car in Panama.
