Water crossings, cross-axle sections and crested ramps faced Jetour T Series and G Series models during a wilderness test drive in Moganshan, Zhejiang, on 21 October. The drive formed part of the 2026 Jetour Global Technology Experience Day and was used to demonstrate the brand’s off-road technologies.
Two systems were in focus: the XWD intelligent four-wheel drive fitted to the T Series, and the GAIA architecture that underpins the G700.
Jetour XWD intelligent four-wheel drive
Off-roading usually calls for considerable driving experience, with manual mode changes and differential locks that can put newcomers off. To address this, the XWD system translates the terrain judgment and handling skills of experienced drivers into algorithms.
On the route, T Series models completed water crossings, a water-fording bridge and cross-axle sections. As grip at each wheel changes, the system adjusts power distribution to suit the surface, while mechanisms such as an electronic jaw-type differential lock help the vehicle regain traction.
Drive modes on the T Series
Seven preset modes are available: Eco, Standard, Sport, Snow, Mud, Sand and Rock. Alternatively, a one-touch “X” intelligent off-road mode can be selected, which is intended to simplify vehicle control across varied terrain.
GAIA architecture in the Jetour G700
The G700 takes a different approach, with GAIA bringing together powertrain, chassis and comfort features. A GAIA super hybrid powertrain drives the SUV, while CDC intelligent suspension and air suspension adapt damping and ride height to conditions, including uneven or potholed surfaces.
Inside, the cabin has a four-screen interactive smart cockpit, multifunction seats, a high-quality audio system and further cabin amenities, so the interior serves for both driving and resting on the road.
Jetour Travel+ strategy
The brand says it remains committed to its “Travel+” strategy, aiming to become the automotive brand that understands travel best. Future technology and products will be developed around the mobility needs of users globally, with off-road capability positioned as a key part of that plan. No pricing or local availability details were given.
