Beijing (Gasgoo)- On January 22, Chery's JETOUR brand introduced a new luxury off-road product range, named JETOUR Zongheng (name in Chinese pinyin). Three models under the new range, the G700 and G900 rugged SUVs, and the F700 pickup truck, were unveiled at the launch event.

The new series features Chery's Kunpeng Super Hybrid CDM-O and the Zongheng Amphibious Gold Range Extender CEM-O technologies, along with an all-terrain off-road chassis and six specialized off-road systems.

The Kunpeng Super Hybrid CDM-O includes a 2.0TD hybrid-specific engine delivering a maximum power of 155kW and 340Nm of peak torque, with a thermal efficiency of 45.5%. Paired with a two-speed DHT hybrid transmission, it uses an 800V architecture, which allows fast charging from 20% to 80% of the battery capacity in just 10 minutes. Models equipped with this system will feature a quad-motor intelligent vector system, delivering a peak power of 1,200kW, said Chery.

On the other hand, the CEM-O range extender system matches the hybrid system's specifications but installed with 6C ultra-fast charging capability and dual-layer Qilin battery from CATL, enabling charging from 20% to 80% state of charge in only six minutes.

Additionally, the Zongheng series models will come equipped with Huawei's Qiankun ADS 3.0 intelligent driving system, supporting functions such as highway and urban navigation, autonomous parking, and drone-enabled off-road exploration.

The Zongheng series vehicles will also feature an amphibious mode, with military-grade turbine propulsion, a maximum water speed of 4.5 knots, and stable navigation for up to 40 minutes in water. The new series is designed with ship-grade rust-resistant components and an advanced stabilization system to ensure durability and safety in extreme conditions, both on land and water.

[Solid-State Battery: Nine Departments' 15th Five-Year Plan Incorporates Automotive Solid-State Batteries into Specialised Standards System, Accelerating Supply of Cutting-Edge Technology Standards] On 9 September 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and eight other departments issued the 15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicle Industry (MIIT Joint Regulation Letter [2026] No. 305). In the task of "continuously improving the standards system," the Plan specifies the ongoing establishment and refinement of specialised standards systems for automotive chips, automotive software, automotive artificial intelligence, automotive solid-state batteries, and low-carbon development of automobiles. In the task of "accelerating the supply of cutting-edge cross-disciplinary standards," it further proposes accelerating the formulation of frontier technology standards for automotive artificial intelligence, cockpit-driving integration, solid-state batteries, distributed electric drive, fully active suspension, integrated driving units, and chassis fusion control. The Plan does not establish a separate special clause for the industrialisation of solid-state batteries; the relevant arrangements primarily focus on standards taking the lead, providing regulatory support for subsequent technological breakthroughs and large-scale application.
