Jetour GAIA G700 Topfire Edition
The grand inauguration also coincided with the exclusive local unveiling of the new Jetour GAIA G700 Topfire Edition. The G700 Topfire Edition takes an already exceptional vehicle platform and elevates it into a far more robust, off-road capable, and visually commanding machine. Built for enthusiasts who demand extreme versatility without compromising luxury, the Topfire Edition introduces significant physical, structural, and mechanical enhancements over the standard G700.
“Unveiling the G700 Topfire Edition alongside the launch of the new Jetour GAIA Space in Global City reflects our ambition to push boundaries, bringing the pinnacle of electrified, premium off-road capability to the heart of the Metro,” states UAAGI Chairman Rommel L. Sytin. “The G700 Topfire Edition is an uncompromising statement vehicle that is engineered for drivers who demand extreme off-road strength fused with high-end luxury and electrification. And the opening of this new GAIA Space is more than just an expansion; for us, it is a milestone that signifies an elevation in what Filipinos can expect from our portfolio of electrified, performance SUVs.”
The G700 Topfire Edition boasts an expanded footprint: it’s 52mm longer, 110mm wider, and 94mm taller than the standard G700. Exterior modifications include heavy-duty, enhanced metal front and rear bumpers; a functional hood scoop and exhaust vents; a redesigned front mesh grille; and aggressive Topfire flared fenders. Accessibility and utility are maximized through an automatic Topfire alloy sidestep and a one-piece stamped roof rack capable of supporting up to a 300kg load.
Performance is enhanced via forged wheels crafted from lightweight aerospace alloy, an updated chassis that raises ground clearance by 55.6mm and widens the vehicle’s wheel track by +94mm, and high-performance 25mm Piston Rod K-Man nitrogen shocks with 8-stage compression damping.
The G700 Topfire Edition has an SRP of Php 5,188,000. It comes with Jetour GAIA’s suite of consumer-centric warranties including an industry-leading Engine Warranty of 10 years or 1,000,000 kilometers; an outstanding 8-year or 160,000-kilometer High Voltage Battery Warranty; and a 6-year or 250,000-kilometer General Warranty which gives drivers ultimate peace of mind as they make the switch to a high-performance, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.
An upscale address for two upmarket brands
The inauguration was graced by Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano, alongside representatives from UAAGI, BAIC Philippines, Jetour Auto Philippines, MG Gateway Mantrade Corporation, banking partners, media, and invited guests.
The new dealerships provide customers with a conveniently accessible venue to discover BAIC’s and Jetour GAIA’s lineups, experience the vehicles, and learn more about the two brands’ growing range of ICE, HEV, and PHEV models.
“BGC is where a lot of modern Filipino life happens. People live here, work here, and bring their families here on weekends, and it has become one of the country’s leading centers for business and lifestyle. It’s a place that welcomes new ideas and new technology, and that makes it a natural home for BAIC,” said Timothy Sytin, Brand Head of BAIC Philippines.
“Opening our flagship space in Bonifacio Global City represents a major leap forward,” says Markane Goho, Chairman of Gateway Motors Group. “We built this space to offer a truly elevated, gallery-like automotive experience that seamlessly integrates with the refined lifestyle of BGC. But beyond the showroom, our commitment is to customer satisfaction. We are dedicated to providing outstanding service before, during, and long after every vehicle is released. Because selling a vehicle is only the beginning—building lasting relationships with our customers is our real business.”
Known as one of Metro Manila’s premier business and lifestyle districts, BGC has developed into a vibrant mixed-use destination, bringing together corporate offices, residential communities, retail centers, dining establishments, entertainment venues, and lifestyle destinations within a highly connected urban environment.
Through BAIC BGC and Jetour GAIA BGC, customers can explore the brands’ vehicles and discover features designed for both everyday urban mobility and journeys beyond the city. Beyond serving as a sales and service venue, BAIC BGC and Jetour GAIA BGC are also envisioned as a gathering space for the brands’ growing community of owners. The showrooms are expected to host a range of events in the months ahead, offering BAIC and Jetour GAIA owners a place to connect, share experiences, and take part in activities centered around the two brands.
