Jetour has expanded its plug-in hybrid lineup with the official unveiling of the Zongheng F700 off-road pickup truck. According to IThome, the vehicle is expected to make its debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November.
The plug-in hybrid system integrates Chery’s Kunpeng Super Hybrid CDM-O powertrain with a dedicated 2.0TD hybrid engine. This setup delivers 155 kW of power and 340 Nm of torque, achieving an optimized thermal efficiency of 45.5%. For heavy-duty tasks, the truck features a high-strength integrated frame beam and double-wishbone independent front suspension.
Powertrain and Battery
The electrical platform uses an 800V high-voltage configuration to maximize charging speeds. Industry sources indicate the truck is equipped with a 4C double-layer Shenxing battery pack supplied by CATL. This advanced cell chemistry allows a rapid 10-minute charge from 20% to 80% capacity.
Combined electric and combustion systems provide a total range of 1,300 km under long-distance conditions. Certified data shows a fuel consumption rating of 1.39 liters per 100 km under standard operating cycles. These figures align with Chery’s strategy to reduce traditional energy consumption in heavy off-road vehicles.
Design and Utility
The truck measures 5,495 mm in length, 2,050 mm in width, and 1,985 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,350 mm. It offers either four- or five-seat configurations. The high-capacity rear cargo box includes multiple pre-installed anchor tie-down points for versatile transport.
Exterior styling emphasizes an angular design, featuring a prominent rectangular front grille with specialized LED daytime running lights. The grille displays the brand’s alphabetic logo across its center. Off-road bumpers optimize the approach angle to prevent damage during challenging terrain crossings.
Functional body elements include a semi-floating roof profile and heavy-duty door handles. The tailgate incorporates a black piano-lacquer panel connecting the multi-sided rear light clusters. Convenience is enhanced by an integrated two-tier step at the rear bumper and an additional side step behind the wheels.
Market and Sales
The cockpit electronics mirror the G700 SUV’s layout, emphasizing a digital environment. The system includes a 15.6-inch floating main console screen and a 35.4-inch continuous sky-screen display, running on the Zongheng OS for smooth multi-screen synchronization and vehicle telemetry control.
This plug-in model targets segments occupied by the Great Wall Motor Cannon and the overseas BYD Shark. Certified documents show payload capacities ranging from 181 kg to 223 kg, depending on cabin trim. The configuration aims to attract international buyers seeking both luxury features and work-ready capabilities.
China EV DataTracker data indicates Chery’s passenger vehicle sales varied in May. The QQ3 EV led domestic monthly brand shares with 8,523 units, while the Tiggo 8 and Arrizo 8 recorded 7,099 and 5,775 units, respectively.
