JETOUR x Paula Scher: Redefining Premium Through Design Sovereignty

BEIJING, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In today's premium automotive market, the competition has shifted. While critical configurations, such as powertrain, chassis, and electric powertrain systems can be refined and perfected in a relatively short time. However, what truly enables a premium brand to stand out, achieve global breakthrough, and build long-term competitive barriers is far more than mere hardware accumulation. It comes from cultural resonance and distinct expression of visual identity.

To break through the global noise and build a lasting competitive moat, a brand must move beyond “stacking hardware” and start distilling its soul. At Auto China 2026, the G700 delivered a definitive answer to the industry's homogenization. By partnering with World's Top Design Master Paula Scher to architect the visual identity of the G series, JETOUR isn't just updating its look. It's undergoing a strategic evolution.

A Meeting of Minds: Global Vision Meets Brand Ambition
As the masterpiece of G series, G700 undertakes the brand’s strategic mission of premium upgrading and global expansion. The G series holds that “premium” is not a sprint but a marathon requiring steady, ground-up development, a core philosophy that underpins its in-depth collaboration with Paula Scher. A legendary designer behind iconic visual identities for global giants including Coca-Cola and Citibank, Scher specializes in converting abstract brand concepts into highly recognizable symbolic visual assets. The G series’ substantial investment in polishing its foundational visual system with top-tier masters demonstrates its resolve to build a world-class premium off-road icon via the G700.

This collaboration marks Paula Scher’s first in-depth partnership with an automotive brand in her career. As a distinguished designer whose works are collected by the influential Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), this exclusive cooperation carries extraordinary industry weight and recognition. Scher selected JETOUR for the unique “vitality” of the G700 that conventional industrial products lack. She views the G700 not merely as a high-performance vehicle, but a cultural bridge linking premium experience and rugged wild exploration. The G series’ persistent pursuit of brand design essence perfectly aligns with her core belief of “changing the world through design”, and their shared adherence to Brand Long-termism forms the core of this cooperation.

“The Ridges of Steel”: A Visual Language of Power
The centerpiece of this co-creation is the “Ridge of Steel”, a core symbol designed by Scher. It's a masterclass in minimalist power, transcending cultural barriers to communicate strength and exploration. This visual unity gives the G700 an innate “premiumness” that is impossible to replicate. Supporting this icon is a bespoke typeface tailored specifically for the G series. Following the same logic as the “Ridge of Steel”, the font uses disciplined geometric lines to balance power with order. In Scher's philosophy, a typeface isn't an isolated graphic — it's an extension of the car's physical lines and silhouette. Together, they form a cohesive visual language that gives the G700 a unique global identity.

From “Being Seen” to “Being Understood”
The infusion of Paula Scher's systematic design philosophy is, at its core, a reconstruction of how G series speaks to the world. This partnership provides more than just an aesthetic endorsement. It facilitates a critical leap in G series' global journey: the transition from visibility to understanding. As Paula Scher believes, elite design isn't about chasing temporary fame, it's about building long-term cognitive dominance. For G series, this is the blueprint for the future: a premium off-road brand breaking boundaries, defining premium through design, fostering value recognition through aesthetic excellence, and steadfastly advancing onto the global stage.

From “Automaker” to “Travel Lifestyle Service Provider”: JETOUR's “Travel+” Strategy Enters New Phase

BEIJING, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the product homogeneity in the auto market intensifies, building long-term brand competitiveness beyond vehicle manufacturing has emerged as a major industry-wide challenge. At Auto China 2026, JETOUR unveiled its “Travel+” strategy, delivering a distinctive solution: transitioning from product-centric thinking to positioning vehicles as connectors of life experiences. This shift empowers JETOUR to transcend conventional competition, evolving from carmaking to curating travel lifestyles.

Beyond Manufacturing: Production Differentiation and User-Centricity
As Ke Chuandeng, President of JETOUR International, noted: “From a tiny seed to a lush tree, what defines JETOUR is our ‘Travel+’ DNA, which transforms us beyond an automaker into a bridge linking users to the world.” The strategy is anchored in two core pillars: differentiation and user-centricity.

JETOUR integrates boxy design, off-road capability, intelligent comfort and travel-oriented lifestyle to meet users’ pursuit of freedom and exploration. Its user-centric philosophy covers far more than product development. By operating signature events and a complete benefits system, JETOUR maintains close user connections. It boasts over 50 million global fans, more than 2.2 million owners and 300+ owner clubs, acting as a professional travel lifestyle enabler that connects users, vehicles and the world via travel culture.

Technology: The Strategic Backbone
Solid technological strength underpins the implementation of the “Travel+” strategy. Dai Lihong, President of JETOUR Auto, stated: “Every JETOUR product goes through rigorous global testing in extreme environments, ensuring world-class quality.”

JETOUR has upgraded its hybrid technology to the sixth generation. Its core systems, including the C-DM hybrid system, XWD intelligent four-wheel drive system and GAIA Architecture, have been widely applied to SOUEAST, JETOUR T Series and G Series, covering urban mobility, light off-road and premium off-road scenarios and verified by global markets. At Auto China 2026, JETOUR exhibited SOUEAST S08 DM, T2 i-DM, G700, G700 Whistling Arrow and other models. Over 200 global media representatives participated in dynamic test drives and witnessed the public fording test of the G700 (Ark Edition) on site.

2.000+ Sales and Service Outlets: Accelerating Global Expansion 
Guided by the “In somewhere, For somewhere, Be somewhere” localization philosophy, JETOUR has expanded its business to 100 countries and regions with over 2,000 sales and service outlets.

On April 23rd, JETOUR held a dual-brand global dealer conference, gathering over 1,000 global partners to summarize achievements and plan future development. It also hosted the Annual Conference of the JETOUR International Media Alliance (JMA), communicating with 200+ global media representatives to explore brand communication paths for global expansion and intelligent and new energy transformation.

Cross-industry Collaboration: “Travel+” Ecosystem Gains Momentum
JETOUR has deepened cross-industry cooperation to enrich its “Travel+” ecosystem. It has partnered with global celebrities from various fields, including Brand Friend Sir Mo Farah, explorer Hazen Audel, racing legend Robby Gordon, and Cheetah Conservation Fund founder Dr. Laurie Marker. At Auto China 2026, brand ambassador Alan Walker and G Series art consultant Paula Scher joined JETOUR’s launch events, further enriching the cultural connotation of the “Travel+” strategy and turning it into a shareable global cultural symbol.

From a seed to a growing ecosystem, the path of “Travel+” is now clear. It centers on user needs, is powered by technology, and expands through an evolving ecosystem. It builds a full-scenario mobility system—more resilient, more scalable, and ready for long-term growth. What it represents is not just a brand strategy. It is a clear statement about the future mobility and a confident step toward it.

Seizing New Opportunities in the Boxy SUV Segment, Targeting a 7.5 Million-Unit Growth Market, iCAUR Advances Its Global Expansion Strategy

BEIJING, April 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — According to industry forecasts, the global boxy vehicle segment is expected to reach 7.5 million units by 2030, creating a major growth opportunity for the automotive industry. As consumer preferences evolve, expectations are shifting from basic functionality to more personalized aesthetic expression. Users no longer want vehicles that blend in, but ones that reflect their individuality. iCAUR aims to define this new segment.

Performance across global markets reflects strong recognition of iCAUR’s products. Over the past year, iCAUR has achieved rapid growth, with its lineup now covering more than 40 countries. The iCAUR V23 has ranked No.1 in the new energy boxy SUV segment in Southeast Asia for two consecutive months. In Thailand, cumulative sales have exceeded 4,000 units, placing it among the top five EVs by registrations. At the Indonesia International Motor Show, the V23 won three awards: Best APM Outdoor Activity, Favourite New Car Launch, and Favorite Newcomer Car Brand.

In February, the iCAUR V27 made its global launch in the Middle East. It has gained strong recognition from users in markets such as the UAE and Bahrain. The model also received “Brand of the Week” and “Best Brand” awards from Yalla Motor, helping quickly build awareness in the region.

Cross-market recognition reflects the consistency between iCAUR’s brand positioning and product philosophy. The brand is dedicated to creating a new generation of classic new energy boxy vehicles with a global vision. Rather than chasing excessive specifications, iCAUR focuses on real-world user experience, avoids overly complex design, prioritizes safety, and emphasizes engineering reliability. Guided by a simple approach that values design and builds trust through technology, iCAUR continues to develop products designed to last.

Looking ahead, iCAUR has set a clear roadmap toward 2030. The brand plans to establish 2,000 service outlets across key markets and achieve annual sales of over 1 million units. It will launch the iCARE service brand, building a comprehensive new energy service ecosystem through six modules. At the same time, it will introduce the i-LIFE ecosystem brand, integrating official customization with user co-creation to better adapt to individual needs.

At the upcoming 2026 Beijing Auto Show and the iCAUR International Business Summit, iCAUR will present its global strategy and roadmap. The brand will also showcase modified V23 and V27 models, along with next-generation AIMOGA robots, demonstrating scenario expansion capabilities and personalization potential while offering more diverse mobility solutions for global users.

تعاون قائم على مبدأ المنفعة المتبادلة: معًا نحو الأمام

Its introduction supports the brand’s expansion across Southeast Asia and Oceania, where diverse driving environments and user needs require localized solutions. The model reflects iCAUR’s ability to translate global standards into practical, market-relevant products.

Beyond its product lineup, iCAUR continues building a global user ecosystem. In partnership with China National Geographic, the brand is launching “The Grand Tour,” a global exploration program designed to connect users with diverse landscapes and cultural experiences.

Hybrid Tech Experience Tour: Global Media Witness JETOUR’s Off-Road Performance

BEIJING, April 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — JETOUR International held the global media test drive event in Beijing, showcasing its latest achievements in hardcore off-roading, hybrid technology, and intelligent innovations. Over 200 global journalists and influencers attended, engaging in static displays, off-road ride-alongs, and test drives. Four models made their appearance: the official customized G700 Whistling Arrow, G700, T2 i-DM, and SOUEAST S08 DM.

G700: A Flagship for Rugged Off-Roading

Adopting “GAIA Off-Road Aesthetics”, the G700 emerged as a major highlight of the event. Measuring 5,153mm in length with a dominant off-road stance, it delivers a striking visual impact. It features a 6-seat cabin, fitted with a Harman Lexicon Audio system and 14-layer NAPPA leather comfort seats with standard ventilation, heating and massage functions. The vehicle adopts an integrated high-pressure-formed frame, with high-strength steel making up 80% of its body structure. The G700 Whistling Arrow on static display is an official customized edition, boasting comprehensive exterior and chassis upgrades under the “Whistling Arrow Edge Aesthetics” design concept.

The G700 showcased outstanding performance in test drives. Its 2.0TD engine, matched with a longitudinal 2DHT transmission and two-speed P4 electric motor, enables a 0-100 km/h acceleration of just 4.6 seconds. Equipped with standard “Intelligent 3 Differential Locks”, it tackles off-road obstacles with ease. The air suspension offers reliable support on side slopes, while the industry-exclusive automatic cross-axle mode guarantees smooth passage over tough terrain. An international automotive media journalist commented that the G700 delivers robust climbing power on steep slopes and steady downhill control via HDC mode. Meanwhile, on-site City NOA and automated parking tests demonstrate its full-scenario driving assistance capability. These strengths endow this hardcore flagship with exquisite intelligence, balancing extreme power and refined sophistication.

JETOUR T2 i-DM: Efficiency Vanguard in Hybrid Off-Roading

JETOUR T2 i-DM embodies with its distinctive boxy exterior design, highlighted by its light-shadow grille and matrix headlights. The interior features a hardcore matrix layout and is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 Chip and suede seats. During test drives, the T2 i-DM seamlessly combines rugged design with eco-efficiency and performance. Based on the C-DM (Cross-Dual model) efficient hybrid technology, the T2 i-DM is equipped with a 280 kW electric motor, delivering a quiet experience comparable to that of pure electric vehicles during startup. As speed increases, the engine engages seamlessly, delivering strong torque and power output.

In off-road scenarios, its XWD intelligent four-wheel drive system performs millisecond-level torque vectoring, enabling effortless escape from roller and cross-axle tests.

SOUEAST S08 DM: A Refined Choice for Urban Mobility

Besides, the S08 DM focused on urban mobility, also impressed attending journalists. Powered by a 1.5TD hybrid-specific engine with 255 kW of maximum power and 525 N·m peak torque, it offers smooth and responsive 0-100 km/h acceleration. The hybrid system ensures both quiet starts and sustained power delivery. Its 4,810 mm length and 2,820 mm wheelbase provide a flexible and spacious cabin. The 15.6-inch Tilting Smart Screen and intelligent voice interaction system catered to diverse family travel needs. After the test drive, a journalist from the Middle East praised: “This is a relatively large SUV, its handling is outstanding in driving —agile and easy to control. Combined with its with excellent interior design, making it a truly exceptional model.”

At this test drive event, JETOUR showcased a comprehensive new energy product portfolio tailored to diverse mobility scenarios. The three models—G700, T2 i-DM and S08 DM, demonstrate JETOUR's commitment to the “Travel + New Energy” brand direction through distinct technical routes and design languages.

Following the event, one media representative commented: “JETOUR has truly achieved a balance of strong power, low energy consumption, and high reliability, pushing the technical standards of hybrid off-road vehicles to a new height. The deep integration of GAIA architecture, C-DM high-efficiency hybrid system, and XWD intelligent four-wheel drive system, gives vehicles all-terrain capability, from paved roads to extreme wilderness. With solid technological strength, JETOUR is breaking down barriers of traditional off-road and delivering new energy mobility solutions to global users.”
