Chinese brands are currently in high demand in the UAE, leading to the introduction of a variety of mid-size Chinese SUVs known for their diversity, technological advancements, quirky designs, and affordability. In this week’s edition of DubiCompare, we are comparing two sought-after models: the Jetour Dashing and the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max.
What adds an interesting dimension to this comparison is the fact that Jetour is a sub-brand of Chery Automotive. While Chery cars are known for their premium quality and abundant features, the Jetour brand specifically targets a younger audience seeking greater value.
