Jetour F700: 892 hp, 3.5t Towing & Solar Range - Most Off Road Capable Ute

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

0:34Off-road footage shows the F700 tackling mud, ruts and loose rocks on standard road tyres.
1:08The drivetrain combines two electric motors with a turbocharged petrol engine and locking differentials.
2:07Sam outlines the CATL battery and Jetour's claimed ten-minute charging time from 20 to 80 per cent.
2:49Practical specifications include towing capacity and a power outlet in the load bed.
3:36Optional roof and bonnet solar panels are said to generate up to six kilowatt-hours daily.
5:08An interior walkaround shows the rear seats, Jamo speakers, centre console and dashboard display.

Road tyres, deep ruts and loose rocks give Sam something more tangible than a spec sheet in his Jetour F700 overview. He has driven the plug-in hybrid ute in China, and the footage shows it working through an off-road course before he gets into the machinery underneath.

The solar option is the intriguing extra. Sam describes panels on the roof and bonnet, available at least in China, with claimed generation of up to six kilowatt-hours a day. That is supplementary energy, not a promise of unlimited driving. In the comments, viewers are already thinking about canopy designs, Australian seating options and whether the load bed is long enough for their needs.

The F700 has drawn roughly 31,000 views and is the most-watched of The Electric Viking's fifteen new uploads. It also carries the strongest daily momentum, followed by the Anker SOLIX XE home-battery overview, which examines promised extra charge cycles and a longer warranty.

That pairing captures Sam's week rather neatly: energy storage for the driveway and for the house. Elsewhere, he covers BYD's large electric saloon, an electric Smart two-seater and an SUV whose rear-wheel steering is said to give it a tighter turning circle than a Corolla. With Clean Power Hour's Tim Montague, he shifts from products to practicalities, discussing battery rentals, vehicle-to-grid restrictions and why he favours battery swapping for trucks more than passenger cars.

The channel gained about two million views over seven days, with subscribers edging upwards. Its daily viewing is currently above its usual level. Among similarly sized motoring channels, Just Call Me Eddie had a larger weekly audience, while STRAD was quieter. Here, the most active uploads bring the conversation back to a distinctly practical question: what can the battery do besides propel the car?

Hopefully they give us the four seat option in Aus too.

Wander if they will offer after market canopy. For the back. I think that's what it's called ..

If there is a separate motor at the front and the rear, what does the center differential do?
@istvan3146See it on YouTube
Should fit the bill well if what is required is a 100k trip on electric charged the previous night most days to work and then a vacation twice a year towing the boat predominantly using petrol
