Jetour enters 3.0 era, introduces GAIA smart off-road platform at 2025 Auto Shanghai
Unlike other brands under the large Chery group, Jetour is more focused on producing SUV and crossover vehicles.
The manufacturer employs a Travel+ strategy that categorizes its vehicles into three main categories.
Era 1.0 was more about family-oriented models such as the Dashing series and the VT9, followed by Era 2.0, which featured comfortable off-road vehicles like the T1 and T2.
Now, Jetour is entering Era 3.0, showcasing several premium off-road models packed with advanced and intelligent technologies, such as the G700 SUV, the G600 concept model, the G900 concept, and the F700 pickup truck concept.
The cornerstone of this off-road model lineup is undoubtedly the GAIA architecture (short for Generational of All-Terrain Intelligent Architecture).
GAIA is a new generation platform for off-road vehicles that specifically utilizes a ladder-frame chassis, offering a suspension travel of up to 150 mm and a maximum ground clearance of 350 mm.
There are two hybrid systems offered by GAIA; one is the iDM-O Super Hybrid, which provides more efficient off-road performance and fuel economy.
The other system is known as the iEM-O Amphibious Range Extender, which delivers tank-level torque of up to 18,000 Nm, as well as a thrust of 2,500 Nm for smooth two-environment (land and water) driving.
It also offers features such as tank turning capability and crab mode for off-road driving.
In addition, Jetour is providing six innovative features, including:
- Low-orbit satellite communication
- Self-oxidizing production
- AI-based cockpit
- Advanced terrain navigation and parking assistance
- Vehicle-cloud integration
- Continuous intelligence system upgrades through over-the-air (OTA) updates.
