Chery's off-road sub-brand Jetour built the Zongheng G700 to go after the segment's established body-on-frame luxury SUVs, and it's doing so with numbers that sound more like a hypercar than an off-roader: a combined 892 hp from its plug-in hybrid powertrain, a 0-100 km/h time in the mid-4-second range, and up to 1,400 km of combined range. It backs the straight-line numbers with genuine off-road hardware — 230 mm of ground clearance, 900 mm wading depth, and a "Tank Turn" feature that lets the whole SUV rotate in place. The G700 already won the Tal Moreeb Championship's PHEV category in January 2026, and is sold in the UAE across four trims starting around AED 169,000 (~$46,000).
Performance & Specs
The G700 pairs a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine (around 231 hp) with dual electric motors — roughly 210 kW at the front axle and 300 kW at the rear — for a combined system output of 892 hp, with torque figures reported between 795 and 1,135 Nm depending on trim. Jetour claims a 0-100 km/h time in the 4.6-4.8 second range (sources vary slightly), genuinely quick for a body-on-frame off-roader of this size. Pure-EV range is rated at 138 km, with the combined PHEV system reaching up to 1,400 km on paper — though some regional listings cite a more conservative 800-1,000 km depending on trim and testing cycle.

At 5,198 mm long on a 2,870 mm wheelbase, the G700 is a genuinely large body-on-frame SUV, built to carry the off-road hardware (230 mm ground clearance, 35°/28° approach/departure angles, 900 mm wading depth) that backs up its off-road positioning. Sources show minor variance on exact millimeter figures between regional listings, but all agree on a large, wide-track SUV footprint consistent with its premium off-roader rivals.

Design & Interior
The G700's boxy, rugged styling leans hard into the premium off-roader look, with our source video showing it in a striking orange/sunset "TopFire" special-edition livery alongside more conventional white and grey paint. Inside, dashboard footage from the video shows an orange-accented steering wheel and upmarket cabin trim consistent with Jetour's "fully capable, fully luxurious" positioning for the model — the brand is explicitly targeting buyers who don't want to trade off-road capability for comfort.
Available Versions
| TRIM | PRICE (AED) | PRICE (approx. USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Comfort | ~169,000-188,000 | ~$46,000-$51,200 |
| Comfort Plus | ~189,000-199,000 | ~$51,500-$54,200 |
| Luxury | ~209,000 | ~$56,900 |
| Flagship | ~229,000-240,000 | ~$62,300-$65,400 |
Note: UAE dealer listings show modest variance in exact trim pricing between sources; the figures above reflect the range seen across multiple regional listings rather than a single confirmed official price sheet.
Pricing & Availability
The G700 is already on sale in the UAE across the four trims above, and originally launched in China in October 2025 at a starting price of about $46,300. It's backed by a 10-year/150,000km warranty. The related F700 pickup, sharing much of the G700's hybrid hardware, is set to launch in China on August 6, 2026, suggesting continued expansion of the Zongheng sub-brand's lineup.
How It Compares
Against its own F700 pickup sibling, the G700 gives up a little peak power and range but keeps an SUV body rather than a pickup bed, at a lower starting price. Against dedicated PHEV truck rivals like the BYD Shark 6 and GWM Cannon Alpha, the G700 more than doubles the available power while adding genuine body-on-frame off-road hardware (Tank Turn, deep wading depth, adjustable-feel approach/departure geometry) that neither rival offers in SUV form. The trade-off is availability — both rivals have more established global dealer networks than Jetour's newer international push.
- 892 hp and a sub-5-second 0-100 km/h sprint from a genuine body-on-frame off-roader
- Real off-road hardware: 230mm clearance, 900mm wading depth, and a working Tank Turn function
- Already proven in competition (Tal Moreeb PHEV class win, January 2026)
- 10-year/150,000km warranty backs the whole lineup
- Combined range claims vary meaningfully by source (800-1,400 km) — confirm the figure for your specific market/trim
- Exact trim pricing varies across UAE dealer listings rather than one single confirmed price sheet
The Jetour G700 backs up its outrageous 892 hp headline number with real off-road engineering, not just a badge and some plastic cladding — the Tank Turn party trick and a genuine competition win give it credibility that pure spec-sheet numbers can't. With UAE sales already underway and a closely related F700 pickup about to join it, Jetour's Zongheng sub-brand looks like a serious new entrant in the premium PHEV off-road space.
