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.

Jetour showcases B-segment electric SUV in Shanghai, set to use new name

In addition to family SUVs like the Dashing and VT9, Jetour has also showcased a B-segment electric SUV with a name that is quite similar to another popular B-segment SUV in Malaysia.

However, according to information from Jetour Malaysia, this SUV will be known by a new name—similar to the approach used for the VT9 model.

This electric SUV has already appeared in the Indonesian market a few months ago.

According to specifications, it is powered by a single electric motor producing 164 hp and 280 Nm of torque, paired with a 53.6 kWh battery pack, providing a driving range of 401 km.

In terms of dimensions, this SUV measures 4,100 mm in length, 1,831 mm in width, and 1,653 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,705 mm.

Key exterior features of this electric SUV include a charging port at the front, 18-inch rims, and front and rear LED lights.

This right-hand drive EV also comes equipped with interior features such as a digital cluster screen, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, leather-wrapped seats, a 360-degree camera, a sunroof, and a cargo space of 368 liters.

As teased during the launch of the Dashing recently, this electric SUV is also expected to enter the Malaysian market in the near future, likely under a new name rather than the official name currently in use.

Will this Jetour electric SUV become the best alternative to other SUVs such as the BYD Atto 3, Chery Omoda E5, Honda e:N1, and smart #1?
