Recently, JETOUR TERRITORY G700 (parameters | inquiry) has become the focus of the market with its feat of "crossing the Yangtze River". As the first luxury hard-core SUV under the JETOUR brand of Chery, it has a "conquer all fields" tough attitude and directly competes with BYD FANGCHEBAO BAO8, igniting a new round of enthusiasm in the 300,000 to 400,000 yuan hard-core SUV market. Both models feature non-independent body structures and have excellent off-road capabilities, while also possessing the intelligent level of high-end new energy vehicles. So, which of these two hard-core SUVs with highly similar product strengths is more worth getting? Let's compare them from multiple dimensions.
Design comparisonTERRITORY G700 emphasizes a tough boxy shape
BAO8 adopts a "future starship aesthetic"
The exterior is the "first business card" of a hard-core SUV. TERRITORY G700 adopts a Chinese-style tough boxy shape with "Himalayan contour bones and glacier lines". At the front, the rectangular grille with the logo, combined with the square LED daytime running lights and wide front bumper, exudes a strong "mountain and wild conqueror" vibe. On the side, the TERRITORY G700 has straight and horizontal body lines, full of power. At the rear, the vertical interactive taillights and exposed tow hooks on both sides give it a stable and powerful look. Additionally, the TERRITORY G700 has a maximum approach angle of 40° and a departure angle of 32°, meeting the extreme off-road demands of hardcore players.
BAO8, on the other hand, follows a "future starship aesthetic" design. The front features a semi-closed grille and a three-dimensional lower lip, presenting a metallic cutting texture. The side is equipped with hidden door handles and multi-spoke 21-inch wheels, enhancing the technological feel. The rear has small taillights and an exposed spare tire, giving it a more compact and smooth appearance. When the suspension is at its highest, BAO8 has a maximum approach angle of 34° and a departure angle of 35°.
In terms of body dimensions, the TERRITORY G700 measures 5198mm in length, 2050mm in width, and 1956mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2870mm, which is at the mainstream level for its class; BAO8 measures 5195mm in length, 1994mm in width, and 1905mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2920mm. Compared to this, BAO8 has a slight advantage in wheelbase, but its length is slightly shorter than that of the TERRITORY G700. Additionally, in terms of seating layout, the TERRITORY G700 offers 5-seat and 6-seat versions, while BAO8 provides 5-seat, 6-seat, and 7-seat options.
In terms of interior, both models have abandoned the rough style of traditional off-road vehicles and embraced technology and luxury. The TERRITORY G700 features a layered center console wrapped in leather. It is equipped with a rounded rectangular steering wheel and an electronic gear lever. The central console area retains a large number of physical buttons for quick operation of functions such as four-wheel drive switching during off-road driving. BAO8's interior adopts a dual-color scheme, with large-sized handles in a "super lock" shape on both sides of the center console, adding a tough touch to the luxurious atmosphere. The retractable gear shift mechanism and crystal-style physical buttons on the console add a sense of ceremony when the vehicle starts.
Intelligence comparison
TERRITORY G700's four-screen system is stunning
BAO8's all-round anti-collision enhances safety
Intelligent cabins have become a standard feature for current Chinese brand hard-core SUVs. The TERRITORY G700 is equipped with the TERRITORY OS system and a Qualcomm 8255 chip. The 35.4-inch panoramic screen on the top of the center console is extremely eye-catching, forming a four-screen interactive system with a 15.6-inch central screen, a 17.3-inch rear entertainment screen, and an 8.8-inch rear air conditioning screen, creating a visually stunning effect. The central console of the Leopard 8 is composed of a triple screen, including a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, a 17.3-inch large central screen, and a 12.3-inch passenger entertainment screen. It is equipped with the high-end version of the DiLink 150 intelligent cabin system, paired with BYD's self-developed 9000 chip, and supplemented by AI large model language, making it highly functional.
In terms of intelligent driving assistance, the JETOUR G700 offers two types of intelligent driving systems: the Falcon 500 intelligent driving system and the Huawei Kunlun Intelligent Driving ADS 4. The Falcon 500 supports high-speed NOA and assisted parking functions. The high-end model equipped with the Huawei Kunlun Intelligent Driving ADS 4 is equipped with the WEWA world model, supporting NCA navigation assistance, and can achieve intelligent driving from parking space to parking space. The Leopard 8 is equipped with the Huawei Kunlun Intelligent Driving ADS 4 across the board, which can achieve full-scenario navigation assistance, and also supports full-scenario parking functions such as off-vehicle parking, parking chauffeur, and remote parking. At the same time, it is equipped with the all-dimensional anti-collision CAS 4.0 system, which is an added bonus in terms of safety configuration.
Performance comparison
The JETOUR G700 has stronger power performance.
The Leopard 8 has excellent driving quality in various road conditions.
The power system is the core of a hard-core SUV. The JETOUR G700 is equipped with the Kunpeng Super Hybrid CDM-O system, with a maximum power of 155kW for its 2.0T engine, combined with 210kW for the P3 motor and 300kW for the P4 motor, resulting in a system's total power of 665kW and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 4.6 seconds. Its power performance ranks among the top in hard-core SUVs. The Leopard 8 adopts the DMO Super Hybrid Platform, with a maximum power of 180kW for its 2.0T engine, combined with 200kW for the front motor and 300kW for the rear motor, resulting in a system's total power of 550kW and a maximum torque of 760Nm, with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 4.8 seconds. The power reserve of the Leopard 8 is slightly lower than that of the JETOUR G700, but it still remains at the top level.
In terms of range and energy consumption, the JETOUR G700 is equipped with a 34.13kWh CATL 800V 4C dual-layer Shenxing battery across the board, with a WLTC pure electric range of 116km and a fast charging power of 170kW. The Leopard 8 is equipped with a 36.8kWh Fudi Power lithium iron phosphate blade battery, with a WLTC pure electric range of 100km and a fast charging power of 120kW. The fuel consumption of both vehicles when the battery is depleted is as low as about 8L/100km, and the CLTC comprehensive range is over 1200km.
In terms of the chassis, both models adopt a non-carrying body structure and are equipped with front and rear double wishbone independent suspensions. The JETOUR G700 is equipped with an air suspension and a dual-valve CDC shock absorber, with a standard ground clearance of 230mm and a lift range of up to 140mm. At high speeds, the chassis can lower by 20mm to optimize energy consumption; when picking up heavy objects, it can lower by 50mm; and in the off-road escape mode, the chassis can raise by 90mm, increasing the approach and departure angles. The Leopard 8 is equipped with the "complete" Yunnián-P system, which, in addition to adjustable shock absorber damping and suspension height, also supports spring stiffness adjustment. Compared to air suspension, this hydraulic suspension system is more suitable for the support and damping needs of hard-core off-road vehicles on non-paved roads, has stronger adaptability to complex road conditions, and can significantly improve driving quality.
Purchase recommendation
Although the two models have some overlap in market positioning and price range, they each have their own advantages in product design and functional features. The JETOUR G700 has a lower entry price and, with its rugged design style and strong off-road capability, has established a product label of "all-domain conquest". Configurations such as a non-carrying body, air suspension, and IP68 waterproofing make its product power balanced and cost-effective, making it more attractive to off-road enthusiasts while also being suitable for daily use. The Fangche Bao Bao 8 has made greater efforts in terms of technological trend configurations, multi-road driving quality, and driving and riding comfort. Especially its feature of being "suitable for both urban and off-road use" makes its target audience relatively broader.
