The X70 Plus is priced at under R500 000 it’s a rather enticing proposition for cash-strapped South African consumers. At this price point, there are very few seven-seater SUV options, but you can look at the Suzuki Ertiga / Toyota Rumion as well as the Mitsubishi Xpander for people-carrying capability, but none of them are as luxuriously appointed as the X70 Plus.
The X70 Plus has a dramatic design with a lot of presence. But it also offers a lot of interior space and that daily usability, with its third-row seating. That’s important for buyers who have kids and also need the additional seating capacity in reserve, for lift clubs.
The X70 Plus is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engine with 115 kW and 230 Nm and mated with a six-speed automatic transmission.
That’s not a lot of power for a vehicle of its size, but the X70 Plus doesn’t lose power at Gauteng altitudes, unlike some other affordable vehicles with third-row seating. Many of which have naturally aspirated engines, which suffer dramatic power losses at altitude. And that can become a real issue with a fully loaded vehicle that has three-row seating.
