Jetour unveils F700 pickup truck prototype secretly in Shanghai

At 2025 Auto Shanghai, Jetour showcased a futuristic full-size pickup truck concept model, the F700.

Why do we say it’s futuristic?

The F700 Concept features ‘coach’ style doors similar to those found on luxury models like Rolls-Royce, or suicide doors without a B-pillar in the middle.

Not many people know that Jetour actually displayed a prototype model of the F700, which closely resembles the actual production version at the Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao hotel, which served as the accommodation for global media.

Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take photos of the impressive pickup truck model, as all recording devices and smartphones had to be left outside the giant box.

What we can conclude is that the F700 is essentially the G700 in a pickup version, with a boxy body design and a front structure that is almost the same.

The F700 shares the same platform as the G700 ladder-frame SUV.

According to the specification sheet placed next to the model, the F700 is powered by a 2.0-liter TGDI hybrid engine mated to a hybrid transmission (DHT) and two electric motors (one for each axle).

The F700 is also equipped with a 34.13 kWh battery pack.

The pickup truck chassis is supported by double-wishbone suspension both front and rear, as well as a four-wheel drive (4WD) system.

With the addition of a bed at the rear, the F700 has larger dimensions, measuring 5,495 mm in length compared to the G700’s 5.1 meters, with a wheelbase of 3,350 mm.

So far, the F700 model is still in the development stage, with the actual production version likely to be revealed to the public in the near future.

Not only that, but the G900 is also set to offer exciting functionalities such as tank-turn capability and crab mode movement.

In terms of cabin space, the Jetour G900 will come with an intelligent cockpit function, cabin oxygen supply system, and continuous connectivity.

At this stage, the G900 remains a concept model, with no detailed specifications disclosed to the media.

Premium off-road SUV Jetour G700 makes debut at 2025 Auto Shanghai

The Jetour 3.0 era witnesses the emergence of several larger SUVs, packed with various types of technology.

One of them is the premium off-road SUV Jetour G700, previously known as the Jetour T5 Concept.

The G700 is indeed a large SUV, with a length reaching 5.1 meters and an adjustable ground clearance ranging from as low as 150 mm to as high as 350 mm.

This premium SUV is powered by the iDM-O Super Hybrid system, which consists of a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with a two-speed hybrid transmission (DHT).

The total power output reaches 760 hp and 795 Nm.

According to a report from CarNewsChina, the Jetour G700 is also offered with a range-extending power unit (EREV) called CEM-O.

This EREV variant is equipped with a 2.0-liter engine that generates power for the battery and electric motor.

This power unit also pairs four electric motors, achieving power output of 1,572 hp, significantly more powerful than the BYD Yangwang U8 SUV (1,180 hp).

With a ladder-frame platform, the G700 can tow loads weighing up to 3.5 tons, in addition to its ability to wade through water up to 900 mm deep, featuring rear axle steering and a tilt mode.

Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to examine the G700’s cabin in more detail.

However, based on reports from international media, the G700 is an SUV that offers seating for six through a 2+2+2 configuration, along with a large infotainment screen and adjustable seating angles for the third-row seats.

Currently, Jetour Malaysia has not revealed any plans to bring this SUV into the local market.

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.
