The X70L uses a petrol powertrain while the Shanhai L7 Plus uses a plug-in hybrid powertrain. In Kuwait, the X70L is known as the Soueast S08 and the Shanhai L7 Plus is known as the Soueast S08 DM.
The X70L is intended to be a third generation of the X70. The L7 Plus is intended to be a second generation of the Jetour Shanhai L7.
