Similar to Toyota and Lexus, some Chinese brands have a spinoff luxury brand. In the case of Jetour, it has Jetour GAIA, a new premium brand that aims to redefine the future of intelligent, electrified SUVs. And it has unveiled its flagship model, the full-size Jetour GAIA G700 Plug-In Hybrid SUV, at the recently concluded Manila International Auto Show, as well as opened its doors at its new North EDSA showroom, right across Trinoma.
Conceived as a distinct evolution within the Jetour brand, GAIA represents a new category that integrates advanced electrification, off-road capability, and refined luxury into a single, cohesive driving experience.
Leading the charge is the Php 4,488,000 G700, a tank-turning, crab-walking flagship model that combines performance, electrification, and elevated craftsmanship for discerning premium SUV buyers.
The G700 is powered by a V12 Performance 2.0TD i-DMO (Intelligent Dual Motor Offroad) drivetrain, delivering a gigantic 904ps and a whopping 1,135 Nm of torque, enabling the G700 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. Its plug-in hybrid system provides a combined range of up to 1,200 kilometers, offering both performance and long-distance efficiency.
Equipped with a 900mm wading depth and a waterproofed engine, allowing it to navigate challenging terrain and extreme conditions. Its adaptive air suspension, featuring multi-mode damping and variable height adjustment, enhances both ride comfort and off-road capability by adjusting to different driving environments in real time. The vehicle also offers a 2.5-ton towing capacity, complemented by Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, enabling the G700 to serve as a mobile power source for external appliances and devices.
The interior reflects a focus on comfort, technology, and sensory experience. A four-screen display configuration includes a 35.4-inch Skyline Screen, a 15.6-inch central HD control display, a 17.3-inch ceiling-mounted entertainment screen, and an 8.8-inch rear climate control interface, providing intuitive access for both driver and passengers. The 18-speaker Lexicon sound system by Harman Kardon, supported by a 900W amplifier and 96dB dynamic range, delivers a refined audio experience throughout the cabin.
Seating is designed with attention to both ergonomics and luxury, featuring multi-functional seats with 8-way power adjustment for the driver, 4-way adjustment for the front passenger, and 4-way lumbar support for both. Passenger and second-row seats are further enhanced with 8-mode massage functions, contributing to long-distance comfort. A built-in fragrance system, integrated with ambient lighting, allows occupants to personalize the cabin atmosphere.
For convenience, the G700 incorporates Intelligent Parking Technology, including Auto Park Assist supported by 12 ultrasonic radars, enabling precise and effortless maneuvering in tight or complex spaces.
Safety remains a core priority, with an 11-airbag system, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and a reinforced body structure engineered to withstand up to 15 tons of crush resistance, ensuring occupant protection across a wide range of driving scenarios.
The G700 is offered in Horizon Blue, Frontier Black, and Himalaya White, with interior themes available in Black Technology and Beige Warm.
“Today isn’t just about unveiling a new vehicle; it’s about sharing a vision we truly believe in. With the Jetour GAIA, we challenged ourselves to go beyond expectations, not only in performance and technology, but in the feeling it creates the moment you experience it. For us, true innovation is not just seen, it is felt. As the future moves toward electrification, we are embracing a smarter, more refined way forward—one that elevates performance, enhances efficiency, and delivers effortless power. Jetour GAIA reflects who we are as a brand: pushing boundaries, embracing progress, and confidently stepping into the premium space. This is only the beginning. What you see today is just a glimpse of what’s ahead: stronger, more electrified, and ready to lead,” said Miguelito Jose, Managing Director of JETOUR GAIA, during his speech in MIAS.
At the core of the G700 is the GAIA Advanced Vehicle Architecture, a next-generation platform that integrates hybrid powertrain engineering, intelligent systems, and a body-on-frame chassis. GAIA enables AI-driven torque distribution, enhancing traction and stability, as well as advanced off-road capabilities such as tank-turn and crab-walk modes for improved maneuverability in confined or uneven terrain. This architecture is designed to deliver a balance of strength, intelligence, and adaptability, supporting both on-road refinement and off-road performance.
The vehicle is supported by a 10-year engine warranty, a 6-year general warranty, and coverage of up to 1,000,000 kilometers.
