BEIJING, April 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — JETOUR International held the global media test drive event in Beijing, showcasing its latest achievements in hardcore off-roading, hybrid technology, and intelligent innovations. Over 200 global journalists and influencers attended, engaging in static displays, off-road ride-alongs, and test drives. Four models made their appearance: the official customized G700 Whistling Arrow, G700, T2 i-DM, and SOUEAST S08 DM.
G700: A Flagship for Rugged Off-Roading
Adopting “GAIA Off-Road Aesthetics”, the G700 emerged as a major highlight of the event. Measuring 5,153mm in length with a dominant off-road stance, it delivers a striking visual impact. It features a 6-seat cabin, fitted with a Harman Lexicon Audio system and 14-layer NAPPA leather comfort seats with standard ventilation, heating and massage functions. The vehicle adopts an integrated high-pressure-formed frame, with high-strength steel making up 80% of its body structure. The G700 Whistling Arrow on static display is an official customized edition, boasting comprehensive exterior and chassis upgrades under the “Whistling Arrow Edge Aesthetics” design concept.
The G700 showcased outstanding performance in test drives. Its 2.0TD engine, matched with a longitudinal 2DHT transmission and two-speed P4 electric motor, enables a 0-100 km/h acceleration of just 4.6 seconds. Equipped with standard “Intelligent 3 Differential Locks”, it tackles off-road obstacles with ease. The air suspension offers reliable support on side slopes, while the industry-exclusive automatic cross-axle mode guarantees smooth passage over tough terrain. An international automotive media journalist commented that the G700 delivers robust climbing power on steep slopes and steady downhill control via HDC mode. Meanwhile, on-site City NOA and automated parking tests demonstrate its full-scenario driving assistance capability. These strengths endow this hardcore flagship with exquisite intelligence, balancing extreme power and refined sophistication.
JETOUR T2 i-DM: Efficiency Vanguard in Hybrid Off-Roading

The interior features a hardcore matrix layout and is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 Chip and suede seats. During test drives, the T2 i-DM seamlessly combines rugged design with eco-efficiency and performance. Based on the C-DM (Cross-Dual model) efficient hybrid technology, the T2 i-DM is equipped with a 280 kW electric motor, delivering a quiet experience comparable to that of pure electric vehicles during startup. As speed increases, the engine engages seamlessly, delivering strong torque and power output.
In off-road scenarios, its XWD intelligent four-wheel drive system performs millisecond-level torque vectoring, enabling effortless escape from roller and cross-axle tests.
SOUEAST S08 DM: A Refined Choice for Urban Mobility
Besides, the S08 DM focused on urban mobility, also impressed attending journalists. Powered by a 1.5TD hybrid-specific engine with 255 kW of maximum power and 525 N·m peak torque, it offers smooth and responsive 0-100 km/h acceleration.
