JETOUR GAIA brand makes its debut at the 2026 Manila International Auto Show

Their first car to debut is the flagship JETOUR GAIA G700 PHEV.

The Manila International Auto Show 2026 played host to something a bit different this year. From April 9 to 12, JETOUR pulled the wraps off GAIA, a premium sub-brand built around the idea that electrified SUVs don't have to choose between luxury, performance, and genuine off-road chops. Leading the charge is the G700, a plug-in hybrid flagship that makes a strong first impression on paper and, from what attendees got to experience at the show, in person too.

GAIA isn't just a rebadged JETOUR. The brand positions itself as a distinct step forward, one that packages advanced electrification, trail-ready hardware, and upscale refinement under one roof. It’s JETOUR's answer to the growing demand for premium electrified SUVs that can actually get dirty when the situation calls for it.

The G700 runs on what JETOUR calls a V12 Performance 2.0TD i-DMO setup, which stands for Intelligent Dual Motor Offroad. V12 Performance in this case can be seen on the spec sheet: 891 hp, 1,135 Nm of torque, and a zero to 100 km/h sprint in 4.6 seconds. Its plug-in hybrid system stretches the combined range to a claimed 1,200 kilometers.

Underneath, the G700 rides on the GAIA Advanced Vehicle Architecture, a next-generation body-on-frame platform that ties together the hybrid drivetrain, AI-driven torque distribution, and intelligent traction management. It also brings some party tricks: tank-turn and crab-walk driving modes that make tight spots and rough terrain a lot more manageable.

Rough and rugged on the outside, while the inside comes with luxuries. The centerpiece is a 35.4-inch Skyline Screen up front, paired with a 15.6-inch central HD control display, a 17.3-inch ceiling-mounted entertainment screen for rear passengers, and an 8.8-inch rear climate control panel. That's four screens in total, covering pretty much every corner of the cabin. Audio comes courtesy of an 18-speaker Lexicon system by Harman Kardon, backed by a 900W amplifier and a 96dB dynamic range.

As for seating, the driver gets eight-way power adjustment, the front passenger gets 4-way, and both front seats come with four-way lumbar support. Massage functions with eight modes are available for front and second-row passengers. A built-in fragrance system tied to the ambient lighting lets occupants dial in the mood of the cabin. Parking is handled with a degree of intelligence, too. Auto Park Assist relies on 12 ultrasonic radars to guide the G700 into tight spots. In addition, the G700 comes with an 11-airbag system, a full suite of ADAS features, and a body structure rated to withstand up to 15 tons of crush resistance.

“Today isn’t just about unveiling a new vehicle; it’s about sharing a vision we truly believe in. With the Jetour GAIA, we challenged ourselves to go beyond expectations, not only in performance and technology, but in the feeling it creates the moment you experience it. For us, true innovation is not just seen, it is felt. As the future moves toward electrification, we are embracing a smarter, more refined way forward—one that elevates performance, enhances efficiency, and delivers effortless power. Jetour GAIA reflects who we are as a brand: pushing boundaries, embracing progress, and confidently stepping into the premium space. This is only the beginning. What you see today is just a glimpse of what’s ahead: stronger, more electrified, and ready to lead.”
