In a monumental leap for international automotive engineering, Jetour GAIA has etched its name into off-road history, becoming the first-ever brand from China to participate at the prestigious 60th annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with established, world-renowned off-road automotive brands, the Jetour GAIA G700 did far more than simply hold its own—it delivered a stellar performance that exceeded all expectations on one of the planet’s most grueling automotive stages.
For decades, Moab, Utah, has stood as an undisputed mecca for off-road automotive enthusiasts. Revered globally as a spiritual epicentre of trail culture, the region’s unforgiving red rock trails demand absolute perfection in vehicle durability, geometry, and raw capability. Only the toughest, most engineered machines can successfully master this hardcore terrain. Yet, the Jetour GAIA G700 and its companion model, the G700 Whistling Arrow premium SUVs, navigated Moab’s iconic vertical ledges, loose sand, and treacherous slickrock with unexpected ease and supreme capability.
Marking 60 years of history, the Easter Jeep Safari serves as the ultimate global proving ground for testing vehicle limits under extreme duress. Beyond rigorous competition, the landmark anniversary event functioned as a vibrant international platform for cross-cultural exchange within the global off-road community. To highlight this crossover appeal, Jetour GAIA invited Off Road Motorsports Hall of Fame driver Robby Gordon and renowned adventurer Hazen Audel to experience the vehicles firsthand during core driving sessions across Moab’s most challenging trails.
“This is very technical driving, you really need [a car] with good traction, which is really important. And the car has to be agile and be able to transition over mountains and the Red Rock stones,” says Gordon.
Meeting the high standards of icons like Gordon and Audel underscores the engineering prowess poured into the G700 platform. The vehicles’ balanced weight distribution, precise steering responsiveness, and advanced suspension systems allowed them to glide effortlessly across complex obstacles that routinely break lesser builds. The successful deployment at Moab validates Jetour GAIA’s long-term vision of bringing world-class adventure engineering to a global audience.
By shattering historical barriers at the 60th annual Easter Jeep Safari, Jetour GAIA has officially rewritten the narrative on Chinese automotive capability in extreme environments. The G700 continues to break the mold, proving decisively that it belongs among the elite ranks of global trailblazers—conquering the world’s most demanding off-road terrains with unwavering confidence and style.
