2026 Jetour G700 (Flagship variant)

Jetour’s G700 is currently the talk of the town, and for good reason. It’s one of those rare offerings in the UAE that comes loaded with features you wouldn’t normally expect at this price point. Add to that a claimed range of nearly 1,000 km

a massive 904 PS of power, and a price tag of around AED 229,000 (at the time of testing). This is an SUV that has caused quite a stir in the UAE car reviews space. So our goal with the Jetour G700 review in UAE, is to find out whether it really delivers on all those big promises.

Exterior Design

From the onset, we noticed that the Jetour G700 has all the makings of a serious off-roader. The tall, boxy stance gives it a strong road presence, and it can feel quite intimidating to anything else sharing the road with it.

Spread across the exterior are features that feel almost too good to be true for a car in this price bracket, Matrix LED headlamps, a full suite of Level 2 ADAS sensors, puddle lamps, electrically retracting side steps, and 20-inch forged wheels with all-terrain tyres.

It’s worth noting that most of these features are reserved for the top-spec version, along with the matte orange finish seen on our test car.

Also interesting is that Elite Motors offers buyers the flexibility to customise the exterior with different colours and accessories, which adds another layer of appeal for those looking for something more personalised.

In terms of size, the G700 is massive. It measures 5,198 mm in length and over 2,050 mm in width. Thanks to the air suspension, height can even go beyond two metres, while standard height sits just under that mark.

Despite its size, it doesn’t feel as difficult to drive as you might expect. The 540-degree camera system plays a big role here, and once you get used to it, manoeuvring this large SUV in UAE becomes surprisingly manageable.

Interior Design

Step inside, and the G700 feels like a completely different car. While the exterior screams off-road capability, the cabin leans more towards luxury and technology.

The biggest highlight is the massive 35.4-inch display stretching across the dashboard, replacing the need for a traditional head-up display. It shows everything from driving data to navigation in a very clean layout.

Alongside it sits a 15.6-inch infotainment system, which controls most of the car’s functions from seat adjustments to drive modes and vehicle settings. Thanks to the Snapdragon 8255 chip, the system feels smooth and responsive in everyday use.Thankfully, Jetour hasn’t gone overboard with touch controls. Physical buttons are still present for key functions, which makes a big difference in real-world usability, especially when driving off-road.

The steering wheel is quite unique, with flat edges at both the top and bottom. It works well off-road, but during tight city manoeuvres, it might take a bit of getting used to.

Elsewhere, the Jetour G700’s interior is packed with features, a 50W wireless charger, dual panoramic sunroof, soundproof glass, multiple cabin fragrance options, and an 18-speaker Lexicon audio system. Along the door panels, you can also notice ambient lighting placed behind mountain-inspired patterns, linking the cabin design back to Jetour’s Himalayan design inspiration.

All of this makes it feel closer to a luxury SUV than a traditional off-roader.

Rear Seat Experience

Depending on the configuration, the G700 can be had in either a ‘2+3+3’ or a ‘2+2+2’ layout. In the flagship version, the second-row captain seats are easily the highlight.

There’s already plenty of legroom and headroom, but you can stretch it even further by adjusting the front passenger seat from the rear controls.

Second-row passengers also get a fold-out table, a retractable ottoman, and a 17-inch roof-mounted screen. You can use it for entertainment, connect a console, or just sit back and relax during long journeys.

Practicality is strong too. There are multiple USB ports throughout the cabin, ISOFIX mounts for child seats, and a boot that offers up to 2,195 litres of space with all seats folded.

So yes, the G700 is both luxurious and practical, which answers why the G700 makes it’s own case as a luxury SUV in UAE.

Powertrain & Performance

This is where things get really interesting.

The Jetour G700 is a plug-in hybrid SUV combines a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine with a dual electric motor setup, producing a massive 904 PS and 1,134 Nm of torque.

In real-world driving, it feels seriously quick for something this size. Put your foot down, and the torque arrives instantly, pushing the SUV forward in a way that feels almost unexpected for a vehicle weighing over three tonnes.

Jetour claims a 0–100 km/h time of 4.6 seconds, and based on how it feels, that figure seems believable.

At highway speeds, the G700 feels stable and planted, making it well-suited for long drives across the UAE. The high driving position also adds to the sense of confidence behind the wheel.

Around corners, you can feel some body roll, but that’s expected from a large, comfort-focused SUV.

Off-Road Capability

The G700 is built on a ladder-frame chassis, which immediately gives it credibility as a proper off-roader.

It comes equipped with locking differentials, hill descent control, and multiple terrain modes designed to handle sand, rocks, and uneven terrain.

Jetour quotes a 35-degree approach angle, 28-degree departure angle, and 21-degree breakover angle, solid numbers for a vehicle in this category.

One standout feature is the Tank Turn function, which allows the SUV to rotate in tight spaces,  something that can be genuinely useful off-road.

Another clever addition is the transparent chassis mode, which uses cameras to show what’s happening underneath the vehicle, helping drivers place the wheels more accurately.

Water wading capability is rated at up to 900 mm, although we didn’t test this ourselves. Still, based on the specs, it’s clear the Jetour G700’s off-road capability is not just for show.

Verdict

The biggest strength of the G700 is its dual personality.

On the road, it feels comfortable, quiet, and well-equipped. Off the road, it has the hardware and technology to handle serious terrain.

When you factor in the price and the 10-year/1,000,000 km engine warranty, it becomes even more appealing to add this luxury off-roader SUV in UAE to your garage.

Overall, if this is where Chinese SUVs are heading, the established players definitely have something to think about.

Rivals and Alternatives

The Jetour G700 competes with a wide range of SUVs depending on how you look at it.

Buyers might compare it with models like the Jeep Wrangler, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, Tank 500, or even newer premium offerings like the Denza B8.

What sets the G700 apart, however, is its combination of performance, features, and value, something that’s still relatively rare in this segment.
