HANGZHOU, China, Oct. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Geely Auto Group today announced the market launch of its first electrified off-road SUV, named Zhanjian 700 in China, and the first production model built on its dedicated GTA architecture for electrified off-road vehicles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Positioned as an AI-powered all-terrain SUV, the model combines off-road capability, electrified performance, intelligent vehicle control, safety and a versatile interior for both daily driving and demanding terrain. It addresses a longstanding compromise in the rugged SUV segment: choosing between off-road capability and on-road comfort, or between performance and efficiency. By integrating architecture, powertrain and chassis control as one system, Geely delivers capability without sacrificing everyday usability.<\/p>\n

A purpose-built foundation for city road and country trails<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the heart of the new model is Geely\u2019s GTA architecture, developed specifically for electrified off-road vehicles. Its integrated frame structure combines the strength needed for demanding terrain with the packaging efficiency and ride characteristics of a unibody vehicle.<\/p>\n

Compared with conventional body-on-frame designs, this structure reduces unnecessary weight, lowers the center of gravity and makes more efficient use of interior space. It also provides a rigid foundation for suspension and body, supporting responsive handling while reducing cabin noise and vibration.<\/p>\n

This approach lets the model retain the robust character of a rugged SUV while offering the refinement, space and comfort needed for frequent everyday use.<\/p>\n

Electrified performance with intelligent control<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new Geely EM-T Hybrid powertrain balances strong power delivery with energy efficiency, providing up to 1,129 PS peak power, 13,920 N\u00b7m wheel torque and a combined range of 1,700 km. It works with the vehicle\u2019s intelligent four-wheel-drive and chassis systems to manage traction and torque across changing surfaces.<\/p>\n

The AI all-terrain driving system identifies road and terrain conditions and rapidly selects appropriate vehicle settings. A one-touch intelligent climbing mode activates four-wheel drive and coordinates power delivery and vehicle control, reducing manual inputs from the driver.<\/p>\n

Safety engineered for demanding conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The GTA architecture underpins the off-road SUV\u2019s structural safety. Its integrated frame works with a high-strength occupant safety cage built entirely from ultra-high-strength and hot-formed steel.<\/p>\n

A concealed rollover protection structure extending 10.6 metres is incorporated into the body without compromising cabin space or exterior design. The vehicle achieves a roof-crush strength of 161 kN, supporting occupant protection in severe rollover scenarios.<\/p>\n

Safety in extreme unlikely off-road conditions such as flooding has also been considered, with features including emergency flotation and swimming mode. Vehicle-mounted sensors can also detect hard-to-see obstacles underwater.<\/p>\n

These measures reflect Geely Auto Group\u2019s approach of considering safety across architecture, powertrain, battery, chassis and connected systems rather than as individual features.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Making rugged SUVs for everyone<\/strong><\/p>\n

With extensive features coming as standard, the new model is designed for customers whose vehicles serve more than one role. Its cabin comfort, interior space, intelligent assistance and off-road performance support weekday commuting, family journeys and outdoor travel in a single vehicle.<\/p>\n

The model is intended not only for experienced off-road drivers but also for customers who want greater freedom to explore without giving up the comfort and convenience of a modern electrified SUV. As the first rugged SUV in Geely Auto\u2019s portfolio and the first production application of the GTA architecture, it extends the brand into a new product category.<\/p>\n

Pre-sales in China have already begun, with deliveries expected by the end of 2026. The model is also planned for launch in markets outside China in the future.<\/p>\n
