Jetour’s highly anticipated F700 double-cab bakkie has officially transitioned from a bold Beijing Auto China concept into its final series-production guise and it is officially locked in for a 2027 South African launch.

Known as the Zongheng F700 in China, the F700 employs Chery’s ‘Kunpeng Super Hybrid CDM-0’ powertrain – a plug-in hybrid unit comprising a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine and electric motors.

The setup pairs a 155 kW/340 Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with high-output electric motors to deliver a staggering combined system output of 665kW and 1 135 N.m of torque.

The PHEV setup’s 800-V architecture features a CATL-supplied 4C double-layer Shenxing battery pack with a capacity of around 31.3 kWh. Electric-only operating range has yet to be confirmed, though a 20 to 80% recharge is said to take around 10 minutes.

The F700 is underpinned by a ladder-frame chassis with front double wishbone independent suspension. The bodywork measures 5 494mm in length, 2 050mm in width and 1 985mm in height.

Practical additions to the exterior include “heavy-duty” mechanical doorhandles and rear bumper-integrated steps for the load bin.

Inside, the F700 features a 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, along with a continuous 35.4-inch sky screen display.

According to SA publication The Citizen, the F700 is scheduled to arrive in our market in 2027.
