In what is likely to be one of the most impressive vehicle launches this year, W. Motors on Wednesday unveiled Jetour G700, a high-performance, full-size plug-in hybrid SUV imbued with both luxury features and rugged off-road capability.
At the colourful ceremony held at the new Jetour showroom in Victoria Island, Lagos, the appointment of W. Motors as the authorised distributor of Jetour brand of vehicles in Nigeria was made public through a formal exchange of copies of the agreement by the partners.
This collaboration brings together Jetour’s global automotive innovation and W. Motors’ strong local market presence and operational expertise as a purveyor of luxury vehicles of many years experience
Through this partnership, Jetour Nigeria is committed to delivering high-quality, technologically advanced vehicles built to meet the motoring conditions in Nigeria and customer expectations.
The Jetour G700 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is driving into the Nigerian market still basking in the afterglow of its global premiere only four months ago in the United Arab Emirates where it left an enduring positive impression that has continued to spread throughout the Middle East and the rest of the auto world.
To underscore the importance of the event, the Vice President of Jetour International, Mr. Yuan Anguo, came to Nigeria to formalise the partnership agreement with the management of W. Motors, led by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Wadih Nasrallah.
Mr. Yuan’s presence highlighted Jetour’s commitment to growth in the Nigerian market and beyond, showcasing the G700’s cutting-edge design and technology.
Jetour G700’s high prospects
The Jetour G700 unveiled by W. Motors on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, is a luxury hybrid all-terrain SUV engineered to drive confidently even when off-roading.
This explains why the G700 is fondly referred to as “The Beast” in various markets across the world. It earned this reputation owing to its combination of massive “untamed” power, rugged design and advanced, all-terrain performance.
When the veil was removed from the vehicle used for the launch, the image that was revealed was indeed that of a ready-to-dare-looking silver grey “Beast.”. This got a good number of the high profile guests predicting that the vehicle has what it takes to excel in Nigeria’s high-end luxury SUV market and feel at home on Nigerian roads..
The chances of the G700 using its aesthetic appeal, array technological features and cosy interior to ‘seduce’ many lovers of some older competitors in the top luxury SUV market in Nigeria, were considered by some guests as very bright.
Mention was specifically made of the ability of the G700 to win the hearts of buyers among big corporate organisations, as well as in federal and state government circles from where a large percentage of SUVs in its high class draw their patronag..
Interior
Jetour G700 high-performance luxury SUV flaunts a spacious six-seater cabin with massage seats and healthy air systems for maximum comfort and relaxation. The innovative cockpit features
advanced four-screen interaction, a
Snapdragon-powered voice control system, and seamless connectivity, providing the perfect blend of adventure and sophistication.
Turbocharged power under the bonnet
Powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine and two electric motors, Jetour G700 delivers an impressive 904 hp and 1,135 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 100 kmph in just 4.6 seconds.
The G700 boasts a total driving range of 800 to 1,000 km, a wading depth of 900 mm, and seven intelligent off-road driving modes—designed to tackle a variety of terrains, from urban roads to desert dunes.
The vehicle’s ability to Ford through a depth of up to 900 mm thrilled the audience when it was watched on a large screen.
Fuel/energy efficiency
According to the W Motors CEO, one of G700’s unique selling propositions as a plug-in hybrid EV is its fuel efficiency and the long distance covered in between charges.
“Jetour G700 can take you from Lagos to Abuja without having to refuel or recharge,” Nasrallahvgkeefully disclosed.
After-sales / Unprecedented warranty
At the event, guests were assured that, supported by professional aftersales service, reliable distribution networks, and a customer-focused approach, the Jetour International / W Motors partnership would ensure a seamless and dependable ownership experience.
Jetour and W Motors committed to elevating automotive standards in Nigeria by offering exceptional value, reliability, and service excellence across the market.
One of the highlights of the launch was the announcement that the satisfactory after-sales support for G700 features an industry-first seven (7) years warranty with unlimited mileage.
However, for the G700 battery, the warranty is eight (8) years or 160,000 kilometres
