Chery’s Jetour Zongheng F700, a plug-in hybrid pickup truck boasting 904 hp, has reached showrooms across China ahead of its official market debut on August 6. Customers can now view the production model in person, following its earlier reveal and pre-sale announcement. Pre-sales began at $53,863 (~AUD 77,063), with final pricing and delivery details still to be confirmed.
Showroom Arrival and Dimensions
The Jetour Zongheng F700 is now available for inspection at dealerships, giving prospective buyers a first look at the production version before sales commence. The pickup measures 5,495 mm (~216.4 inches) in length, 2,050 mm (~80.7 inches) in width, and 1,985 mm (~78.1 inches) in height, with a wheelbase of 3,350 mm (~131.9 inches).
Its cargo bed is sized at 1,520 mm × 1,520 mm × 570 mm (~59.8 × 59.8 × 22.4 inches), and features multiple cargo anchor points, a 6.6 kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) external power output system, and a tailgate panel integrated with the rear lighting design. Additional step areas are located behind the rear wheels for easier access.
Hybrid Powertrain and Technology
The F700 is powered by Jetour’s Kunpeng Super Performance Hybrid CDM-O system, which combines a 2.0T engine producing 155 kW with a two-speed DHT transmission. The complete plug-in hybrid system delivers a claimed 665 kW (904 hp) and 1,135 N·m of torque.
An 800V electrical architecture is paired with CATL’s 4C dual-layer Shenxing battery technology. Jetour states a comprehensive range of up to 1,300 km (~808 miles), though details on battery capacity, pure-electric range, and charging times have not been disclosed.
Off-Road and Interior Features
The F700 is built around a non-load-bearing body structure with an integrated ladder frame, and features front and rear double-wishbone independent suspension. Off-road capability is further enhanced by three differential locks and 15 selectable driving modes.
Inside, the pickup offers both four- and five-seat layouts. The cabin is equipped with a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, a 35.4-inch Zongheng Skyline display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8255 processor, Zongheng OS, and Falcon 500 driver-assistance hardware.
Global Rollout Plans
The overseas rollout of the F700 will depend on market demand. South Africa has confirmed a 2027 introduction under the Jetour P5 name. Left-hand-drive markets are expected to receive the model from late 2026, while other right-hand-drive markets are still under evaluation.
Why this matters
The arrival of the Jetour Zongheng F700 at dealerships marks a significant step for Chery’s Jetour brand as it expands its electrified offerings in the pickup segment. The F700’s combination of high power, advanced hybrid technology, and off-road features demonstrates the increasing integration of electrification in larger utility vehicles within the Chinese market.
What this means for buyers
Buyers interested in a high-performance, plug-in hybrid pickup can now inspect the Jetour Zongheng F700 in person ahead of its August 6 launch. With pre-sales open and final pricing yet to be announced, potential customers should monitor dealership updates for further details on trims and delivery schedules. Those in left-hand-drive markets outside China can expect availability from late 2026, while right-hand-drive market plans remain under review.
