Chery’s Boxy Jetour R700 Off-Roader Debuts November 27 on the 892-HP G700’s Platform

Chery’s Jetour brand will unveil the Jetour R700 off-road SUV at the 2026 Guangzhou Auto Show, which opens on November 27. Sold under the Zongheng off-road series in China, the new model reportedly shares its ladder-frame platform with the flagship G700, according to Autohome. The R700 reportedly draws on the Jetour Zongheng G600 concept, which previewed the brand’s off-road design direction in 2025.

The platform relationship is what makes the R700 interesting. The 2027 Jetour G700 uses Chery’s Kunpeng Super Hybrid CDM-O plug-in hybrid system, pairing a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with electric motors for a combined 665 kW (892 hp) and 1,135 Nm of torque, with a claimed 0-to-100 km/h time of 4.6 seconds. The G700 has an official Chinese list price of 329,900 to 442,900 yuan ($49,400 to $66,300).

Chery has yet to detail whether the R700 will use the same powertrain, battery capacity or chassis equipment. The R700 features an upright profile, a high hood and a closed front fascia, and Chery displayed the near-production R700 inside a confidential viewing area at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show in April, previewing a two-row layout ahead of its formal debut. Cabin dimensions, the final seating specification, cockpit and driver-assistance details all remain undisclosed.

The Guangzhou debut should provide the first public look at the production R700 and clarify how much of the G700’s platform and technology it shares. The R700’s reported five-seat layout and exterior gear-storage box give it a different emphasis from the G700 — less flagship luxury, more usable off-road kit.
