JETOUR Showcases Advanced GAIA Platform at Auto Shanghai 2025, Signals Global Off-Road Ambitions
At Auto Shanghai 2025, one of the largest automotive showcases of the year, JETOUR unveiled its latest technological leap—the GAIA architecture. With the debut of its new off-road models, the G700 and G900, the Chinese automaker is signalling a strategic move into the premium off-road segment, traditionally dominated by established global brands. The GAIA platform introduces a multi-mode hybrid architecture designed to support high-performance off-road mobility. It features two distinct systems: the iDM-O Super Hybrid and the iEM-O Amphibious Range-Extender. These systems combine combustion engines with electric motors to provide robust torque and high output suitable for challenging terrains. JETOUR claims the iDM-O setup delivers up to 665kW of power and 1,135N·m of torque—figures that rival or exceed conventional V8 engine outputs. Meanwhile, the iEM-O version, equipped with quad motors and amphibious capabilities, reportedly achieves 1,200kW of total power and 18,000N·m in wheel-end torque. While these specifications are impressive on paper, real-world performance in varied climates and terrains—especially those relevant to Africa—remains to be seen.

The increasing demand for hybrid and environmentally conscious vehicles could create opportunities for new players, especially those offering off-road capabilities without compromising on efficiency. Moreover, with local interest in camping, safari tourism, and cross-country travel, JETOUR's focus on features such as adaptive air suspension, independent four-wheel control, and even drone-assisted exploration systems may resonate with adventure-focused consumers. That said, successful market penetration would require not only product availability but also an established service network, affordable parts supply, and a clear aftersales strategy—areas where new entrants often face challenges. JETOUR is positioning itself not just as a carmaker but as a travel lifestyle brand. Its 'Travel+' ecosystem—covering vehicle customisation, accessories, community engagement, and travel services—suggests an ambition to build a brand identity beyond mobility. The company's leadership emphasises aligning technological advancement with environmental responsibility, aiming to make hybrid off-road exploration more accessible. JETOUR's Assistant President and head of international strategy, Ke Chuandeng, articulated this vision during a presentation at Auto Shanghai. 'We aim to be the world's leading hybrid brand,' he said, underscoring the company's long-term commitment to the segment. JETOUR's reported global sales of over 1.68 million units since its founding in 2018 reflect a rapid rise, particularly within China and select overseas markets. Whether this momentum can translate into competitive positioning in Africa—and South Africa specifically—will depend on multiple factors, including local partnerships, regulatory compliance, and consumer trust. For now, the GAIA platform marks a bold technological statement, positioning JETOUR as an ambitious player to watch in the evolving off-road mobility space.

JETOUR Showcases Advanced Off-Road Technology at Auto Shanghai 2025 with Global Media Test Drive Event
Shanghai, April 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JETOUR, the innovative auto brand, hosted an test drive event for over 200 global media and influencers from the Middle East, South America, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and the CIS region. The event, held at the Shanghai Pudong Chuansha Test Drive Center, served as a platform for JETOUR to demonstrate its three core technological pillars: off-road capability, hybrid power, and intelligent innovation. The spotlight was firmly on the T1, T2 i-DM, and a preview of the upcoming G700, leaving attendees thoroughly impressed by the brand's technical expertise and advanced innovations.(Group photo of the media at the test drive site） JETOUR T1: Mastering Both Urban Streets and Rugged Terrains The T1, lite off-road SUV, equipped with a robust 2.0T engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, immediately captivated drivers with its refined performance. On city roads, the powertrain delivered smooth and linear acceleration, effortlessly handling frequent stops and starts. Highway cruising was equally impressive, with the T1 maintaining a stable driving even at higher speeds. The star of the show was undoubtedly the XWD intelligent four-wheel drive system. During the cross-axle test, the XWD system demonstrated its ability to instantaneously redistribute power to the wheels with the most grip, ensuring a seamless and confident escape from precarious situations. On steep side slopes, the vehicle's reinforced chassis and advanced suspension system minimized body roll, providing drivers and passengers alike with an unparalleled sense of security even at extreme angles. 'The XWD system has been validated by over 200,000 users worldwide,' explained a JETOUR test drive coach. 'Whether you're a seasoned off-roader or a beginner, the system's 'X Mode' takes the uncertainty out of driving by automatically adapting to road conditions in milliseconds.' For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, the T1 also offers seven driving modes, including Sport, Snow, and Sand, allowing drivers to tailor the vehicle's performance to their T2 i-DM: The Perfect Fusion of Efficiency and Power The T2 i-DM, combining rugged design with eco-friendly efficiency. Under the hood, the model features a fifth-generation 1.5TGDI hybrid engine, boasting an industry-leading thermal efficiency of 44.5%. This is paired with a 3-speed DHT, ensuring seamless power delivery across all driving conditions. The T2 i-DM's electric motor provides whisper-quiet starts, mimicking the serene driving experience of a pure electric vehicle. However, as the speed increases, the engine seamlessly kicks in, unleashing a surge of torque that highlights the vehicle's off-road DNA. During the S-curve test, the T2 i-DM showcased its agile handling and precise steering, with minimal body roll even during high-speed maneuvers. The true test of its off-road capabilities came during the 10-meter-high seesaw and steep incline challenges. Here, the hybrid powertrain and advanced hill descent control system worked in perfect harmony. As the vehicle ascended, the engine and electric motor combined forces to deliver relentless traction, while the descent was managed effortlessly by the intelligent braking system, eliminating the need for driver intervention. The electronic suspension further enhanced the experience, absorbing shocks and maintaining stability even on the most uneven Peek: G700's Autonomous Parking and Beyond While the G700 premium all-terrain SUV was not available for test drives, it still managed to steal the show with a stunning demonstration of its autonomous parking capabilities. Equipped with 12 ultrasonic sensors and four 360° cameras, the G700 effortlessly navigated tight parking spaces, executing perfect maneuvers without any driver input. This feature addresses one of the most common pain points for urban drivers, promising to make parking stress-free and effortless. Rumors about the G700, have only heightened anticipation for its global debut, scheduled for September in the UAE. The vehicle's combination of luxury, intelligence, and off-road prowess positions it as a potential trailblazer in the premium SUV segment.（Pictures of the test ride site of G700） Global Rollout and Future Prospects The T1 and T2 i-DM are already making waves in the Middle East, with plans for rapid expansion into Africa, South America, Asia-Pacific, and the CIS region. JETOUR's multi-technology strategy—encompassing traditional fuel, hybrid, and cutting-edge intelligent systems—underscores its commitment to catering to diverse consumer needs and preferences. From the T1 (lite off-road SUV), to the T2 i-DM (travel hybrid SUV), and further to the G700 (premium all-terrain SUV), JETOUR is showcasing its strategy, which is off-road specialization, hybridization, and intelligent innovation to the world. By seamlessly blending innovation with practicality, JETOUR is redefining the boundaries of adventure travel. What was once a niche pursuit reserved for the few is now becoming an accessible and enjoyable everyday experience for families around the world. According to recent reports, the G700 is set to make its global debut in the UAE in the last quarter of this year. We will closely monitor the global rollout of these models and look forward to their arrival in local markets. CONTACT: JETOUR Global support@ in to access your portfolio
