Chery's off-road sub-brand Jetour is entering the premium pickup segment with the Zongheng F700, a plug-in hybrid truck built on the same Kunpeng Super Hybrid platform as the brand's 892 hp G700 SUV. The F700 combines a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with electric motors for a combined 665 kW (904 hp) and 1,135 Nm of torque, backed by an 800V architecture and a CATL 4C "Shenxing" battery capable of a 20-80% charge in just 10 minutes. Total range is rated at 1,300 km. Jetour showed both a standard 4x4 and a striking 6x6 off-road variant at the Beijing Auto Show ahead of the truck's official China market launch on August 6, 2026.
Performance & Specs
The F700 runs Jetour's Kunpeng Super Hybrid CDM-O system: a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine (155 kW / 208 hp, 340 Nm) paired with a 2-speed DHT (dedicated hybrid transmission) and electric motors, for a combined system output of 665 kW (904 hp) and 1,135 Nm of torque — figures confirmed directly by Jetour ahead of the truck's showroom arrival. Some earlier preview coverage cited slightly different horsepower splits for the 4x4 versus the 6x6 variant shown at Beijing (around 892 hp and the low 950s respectively); we're flagging that variance rather than picking a number we can't verify, since the most recent official reporting closest to launch states the single 904 hp combined figure across the range.

At 5,495 mm long on a 3,350 mm wheelbase, the F700 is a genuinely large premium pickup, with a 1,520 x 1,520 mm cargo bed (570 mm deep). Jetour displayed two distinct builds at Beijing: a standard 4x4 truck (including a lightly modified "overlanded" version with a roof tent, storage boxes and auxiliary lighting for extended off-grid trips) and a dramatic 6x6 variant riding on six wheels for maximum off-road capability, shown in a striking green-and-sunset "TopFire" livery.

Charging & Battery
The F700 pairs an 800V high-voltage architecture with a CATL 4C "Shenxing" double-layer battery (approximately 31.3 kWh), enabling a 20-80% DC fast charge in roughly 10 minutes — extremely quick for a pickup this size. Combined with the 2.0T range extender, total system range is rated at 1,300 km.

| DC FAST CHARGING | 20-80% in ~10 min |
| COMBINED RANGE | 1,300 km |
Design & Interior
Jetour is positioning the F700 as, in its own words, a "new species in the premium luxury pickup segment" — fully off-road capable but without sacrificing comfort. Inside, the cabin shown at Beijing was trimmed in leather with multiple screens and a built-in refrigerator, a genuinely premium spec sheet for a truck built around six-wheel-drive off-roading and a rugged body-on-frame platform shared with the G700.
Pricing & Availability
Pre-sales opened at 364,900 CNY (about $53,900) in China, with final pricing and the full trim lineup still to be announced ahead of the official launch on August 6, 2026. Jetour has confirmed a 2027 introduction to South Africa under the Jetour P5 name, with other left-hand-drive export markets expected to receive the F700 from late 2026 — a similar international rollout pattern to the closely related G700 SUV, which is already sold in markets including the UAE.
How It Compares
The F700 more than doubles the power of both the BYD Shark 6 and GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV — the two established Chinese PHEV pickup rivals — while roughly matching or beating their combined range, though at a meaningfully higher presale price. Against its own sibling, the Jetour Zongheng G700 SUV, the F700 trades a bit of range for pickup-bed practicality on essentially the same hybrid platform, at a premium of roughly $7,600. For buyers who want the most power available in a PHEV pickup today, the F700 is currently in a class of its own on paper — assuming Jetour's final pricing and trims hold up once it officially launches.
- 904 hp and 1,135 Nm dwarf every other PHEV pickup rival on sale today
- 1,300 km combined range with a 10-minute 20-80% DC fast charge
- Genuine 6x6 off-road variant alongside the standard 4x4
- Leather, multiple screens and an onboard fridge for a genuinely premium cabin
- Final pricing and full trim lineup aren't confirmed yet ahead of the August 6, 2026 launch
- China-first launch, with LHD export markets not expected until late 2026 at the earliest
The Jetour Zongheng F700 is a serious statement of intent from Chery's off-road sub-brand: 904 hp, a 10-minute fast charge, and a genuine 6x6 variant put it in territory no other PHEV pickup currently occupies. It shares its hybrid hardware with the already-successful G700 SUV, which bodes well for reliability and support as the brand expands internationally. We'll be watching for confirmed final pricing and trims when the F700 officially launches on August 6, 2026.
