Jetour has shown the G700 luxury SUV in Beijing, alongside the Soueast S08 DM, ahead of this year’s edition of Auto China. Officially launched for the Chinese market in October last year, the G700 is a ladder-frame SUV that measures 5,198 mm long, 2,050 mm wide and 1,956 mm tall, and its rivals including the GWM Tank 500. In terms of its off-roading capabilities, the G700 has a wading depth of up to 970 mm, with approach and departure angles of 40 degrees and 32 degrees respectively, and can climb gradients of up to 45 degrees. Four variants of the G700 are offered in China, with five- and six-seater configurations. Powertrain for the G700 is a plug-in hybrid setup with a 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol engine, with a total system output 904 PS and 1,135 Nm. This propels the G700 from 0-100 km/h in a claimed 4.6 seconds. Its battery is a 34.13 kWh unit from CATL, which is claimed to provide up to 150 km of purely electric running. In terms of charging, the G700 can take up to 170 kW DC, which brings a 30-80% recharge in 10 minutes. There is also 6.6 kW V2L capability for external applicances. Its combined hybrid range is a claimed 1,400 km on the CLTC test cycle, or around 1,148 km on the WLTP standard. Interior equipment in the G700 consists of a 35.4-inch horizontal display strip that runs along the base of the windscreen, a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a 17.3-inch screen that folds out from the ceiling between the front and rear sunroof sections. In the rear, air-conditioning for rear seat occupants are controlled by a separate 8.8-inch touchscreen. Further equipment in the G700 includes heating, ventilation and massage function-equipped front seats, the aforementioned front and rear sunroofs, and ambient lighting. Audio output is by a Lexicon 11-speaker sound system as standard (upgradeable to 18 speakers), while ADAS functions come from the group’s Falcon 500 system that enables high-speed navigation on autopilot and parking assist functions. Indications from Beijing are that the Jetour G700 is likely to be coming to Malaysia next year, however the timeline for the plug-in hybrid SUV’s Malaysian-market arrival has yet to be confirmed.
