Geely Auto Group announced the China market launch of the Zhanjian 700 on October 11, 2026, introducing its first electrified off-road SUV and the first production vehicle built on its dedicated GTA architecture.
The model targets drivers seeking a vehicle for everyday travel and demanding terrain. Geely says its approach brings the structure, hybrid powertrain and chassis controls together to balance rugged capability with passenger comfort.
A Foundation Designed for Electrified Off-Roading
Geely previously presented the GTA technology in August 2026. The architecture combines unibody construction with an integrated frame, an arrangement the company says supports structural strength while improving cabin packaging and ride refinement.
The Zhanjian 700 uses the Geely EM-T Hybrid powertrain. In its launch announcement, Geely claims peak output of up to 1,129 PS, 13,920 N·m of wheel torque and a 1,700-kilometer combined range.
The range figure refers to combined operation, rather than electric-only driving. The release does not identify the testing cycle behind that figure.
Technology to Assist on Changing Terrain
Geely says the SUV’s AI all-terrain system identifies surface conditions and adjusts vehicle settings. An intelligent climbing mode coordinates four-wheel drive and power delivery to reduce the driver’s manual inputs.
The company’s positioning centers on making off-road technology useful beyond specialist driving. Its intended customers include people using one vehicle for commuting, family journeys and outdoor trips.
These are manufacturer descriptions of the vehicle’s capabilities; the announcement does not include an independent road-test assessment.
China Deliveries Expected Before Year-End
According to the release, China pre-sales have begun, with deliveries expected by the end of 2026.
Geely also plans to introduce the model outside China. However, the announcement does not specify international destinations or confirm a Philippine launch date, local price or available variants.
For Filipino readers, the launch offers a look at Geely’s expanding hybrid SUV technology. Local availability will depend on a separate market announcement.
