Its output of 115 PS is below the 208 PS median for SUVs and crossovers we list. Shoppers looking at this SUV usually also consider the Hyundai Venue, Toyota Raize, Changan CS15 and Geely GX3 Pro. Of those, the Geely GX3 Pro is the least expensive at ₱729,000 and the Jetour X50 the most expensive at ₱888,000. There is a ₱420,000 gap between the entry 1.5 LX MT and the top 1.5 SX AT grade, so it is worth checking which features you would actually use.
