The Jetour Zongheng F700 (Chinese: 捷途纵横F700; pinyin: Jiétú Zònghéng F700) is an upcoming plug-in hybrid full-size pickup truck to be produced by Chery under the Jetour brand's Zongheng series.

Overview

The Zongheng F700 was first announced at a media event in Sandton, South Africa as the Jetour P5 in December 2024, technically making the Zongheng F700 the first of the Zongheng models to be revealed. A silhouette of the Zongheng F700 was also shown at the event.[3]

At the reveal of Jetour's Zongheng series on January 22, 2025, the pre-production G700 and the concept versions of the F700 and G900 were shown. It is the 2nd model of the Zongheng series.[4]

It is expected to be sold internationally as the Jetour F700, although it is not yet confirmed for an international release.[5] The Citizen and TopAuto report that the F700 will be sold in South Africa under the afformentioned Jetour P5 name.[6]

Pre-sales began on July 20, 2026, with a starting price of ¥364,900 (~$53,900).[7] The first units arrived at dealerships on July 29, 2026.[8] The Zongheng F700 was officially launched on August 6, 2026.[9]

Design

The production version of the Zongheng F700 will use the same design language as the Zongheng G700.[1][a] The concept version had rear-hinged doors, cameras replacing the side mirrors, no B-pillars, all-terrain tires, and wide wheel arches.[10]

Features

Initial spyshots indicated the F700's interior will feature a 13-inch central touchscreen, a 10.25-inch LCD instrument cluster, leather seats, a three-spoke steering wheel, and physical controls for air conditioning.[11]

An undisguised Zongheng F700 was spotted on December 1, 2025, confirming the speculation that the Zongheng F700 would use the same design language as the G700.[12]

The interior of the Zongheng F700 features the Horizon Screen, a 35.4-inch screen placed above the dashboard that goes across it as a result, and a 15.6-inch floating central touchscreen. Both the Horizon Screen and the touchscreen run Zongheng OS and are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8255 chip. The interior has Cloud Rest seats with massage functions for the front seats, alongside heating and ventilation for both front and rear seats. The Zongheng F700 is also equipped with Chery's Falcon 500 navigation assistance system.[9]

Powertrain and chassis

The Zongheng F700 shares the CDM-O plug-in hybrid powertrain with the Zongheng G700.[1]

The Zongheng F700 is powered by a 2.0 liter turbocharged inline-4 gasoline engine. Codenamed SQRH4J20, the engine produces 208 horsepower (155 kW; 211 PS) and is shared with the Zongheng G700. As the Zongehng F700 is a plug-in hybrid, it has electric motors additionally powering the front and rear axles. The Zongheng F700's combined power output is 892 horsepower (665 kW; 904 PS) and 837 pound-feet (1,135 N⋅m) of torque. It uses CATL's 34.1 kWh Shenxing lithium iron phosphate battery, enabling an electric-only range of 93 miles (150 km) and a combined range of 808 miles (1,300 km).[9]

Powertrain dispute

The exact amount of motors to be used by the CDM-O system in the Zongheng F700 was disputed. Websites such as CarExpert and Formacar said the Zongheng F700 will use a dual-motor layout, while websites such as BitAuto and multiple Chinese sources claimed it would use a quad-motor layout.[1][13][b]

Suspension

Spyshots show the F700's chassis uses 4-wheel independent suspension with double wishbones in the front and a multi-link rear axle in the rear.[11]
