Jetour Gaia made its Philippine debut at the 2026 Manila International Auto Show. Jetour Gaia serves as the brand’s move into the premium market.
Positioned as the new line’s flagship, the G700 is a plug-in hybrid SUV combines electrified performance, body-on-frame construction, and a long list of features aimed at buyers who want both luxury and off-road ability.
Serious performance
A 2.0-liter turbocharged plug-in hybrid powertrain with Jetour’s i-DMO dual-motor off-road system gives the G700 a claimed 904-PS and 1,135-Nm. Jetour also lists a 0 to 100 km/h time of 4.6 seconds and a combined range of up to 1,200 km, putting the G700 among the more ambitious electrified SUV launches seen at this year’s show.
A 900 mm wading depth, a waterproofed engine system, adaptive air suspension with multi-mode damping and variable height adjustment, and a 2.5-ton towing capacity give the G700 real off-road substance alongside its premium SUV brief. Vehicle-to-Load functionality is also part of the package, allowing it to power external devices when needed.
Its GAIA Advanced Vehicle Architecture combines a hybrid powertrain, intelligent systems, and a body-on-frame chassis. That setup also supports AI-driven torque distribution, along with tank-turn and crab-walk functions for tighter maneuvering in difficult terrain.
Plush interior
A four-screen layout defines much of the G700’s cabin technology, made up of 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. Audio comes through an 18-speaker Lexicon sound system by Harman Kardon with a 900W amplifier and 96dB dynamic range.
The cabin adds more luxury with 8-way power adjustment for the driver, 4-way adjustment for the front passenger, 4-way lumbar support for both front seats, and 8-mode massage functions for the passenger and second-row seats. Ambient lighting and a built-in fragrance system round out the interior.
Intelligent Parking Technology with Auto Park Assist is supported by 12 ultrasonic radars, helping the G700 handle tighter parking situations with less effort. Safety equipment includes 11 airbags, advanced driver-assistance systems, and a reinforced body structure engineered to withstand up to 15 tons of crush resistance.
Horizon Blue, Frontier Black, and Himalaya White are the available exterior colors, while Black Technology and Beige Warm are the listed interior themes. Philippine pricing starts at ₱4,488,000. Jetour is also backing the model with a 10-year engine warranty, a 6-year general warranty, and coverage of up to 1,000,000 km.

During the launch, Jetour Gaia Managing Director Miguelito Jose said: “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.”
A new home
With the opening of the new Jetour Gaia Space along North EDSA just days after MIAS 2026, the brand has quickly followed its show debut with its first physical home in the Philippines. That gives the G700 an early retail base as Jetour Gaia starts building its presence in the local premium SUV market.
