August 12, Chery Fengyun T7 officially starts pre-sale, 3 versions, 109,900 yuan - 129,900 yuan. Launch event theme is interesting — "Slow work builds good cars, sorry for the wait". In the industry today where everyone is eager to launch a new car within 12 months, the word "slow" seems somewhat out of place. But this car's "slow" is exactly where it's worth discussing.

A Car That Goes Abroad First, Then Returns Home
Fengyun T7's most special identity is: it didn't first build it domestically and then plan to sell abroad; instead, the same-source model Lepas L6 has already started pre-sales in South Africa, Thailand launched on July 24, followed by Indonesia in August, EU in September, Australia, New Zealand and UK in October. Others go domestic first then export, it takes the "reverse export" path.

The logic behind this rhythm is easy to understand — a car must simultaneously meet Europe's collision regulations, Middle East's over 50 degrees high temperature, Southeast Asia's rainy season flooding, Nordic's minus 40 degrees extreme cold. R&D and verification cycle cannot be short. Fengyun T7 used 2 years planning, 3 years R&D, benchmarking the not-yet-formally-implemented 2026 version E-NCAP 5-star safety standard. 81 dedicated durability vehicles synchronized road testing, total vehicle cumulative testing over 6 million kilometers. These are not lab data, they are actual vehicles driven over high deceleration humps in Brazil, cobblestone roads in Mexico, unpaved muddy roads in South Africa.
All Series 600km Range, Entry-Level Fully Equipped
Fengyun T7's most unconventional decision is: all series standard equipped 600km CLTC range, actual test can run 667km+. No trick of low trim cutting range, three configurations batteries are all 65.05 kWh LFP Rhino Battery. Charge from 30% to 80% only takes 20 minutes, takes the time of drinking a cup of coffee.

Willing to spend heavily on safety aspect — 80% high-strength steel + 18.84% hot-formed steel, 9 horizontal 5 vertical cage body, all series 9 airbags, rear side airbags and 48L dual-chamber far-end airbags both given. Rhino Battery IP68 waterproof is 96 times the national standard. Intelligent cockpit used 4nm process 8775 chip, 72 TOPS computing power, 15.6-inch 2.5K large screen. Intelligent driving aspect 22 sensors, supports 300+ scenarios automated parking.
Chassis Tuning is the Hidden Bonus
Fengyun T7 specially hired former Maserati chassis expert team for tuning. 50.8:49.2 front-rear weight distribution, cornering without understeer, lane change without oversteer. This tuning expertise is not trained in one day, Chery has worked on chassis test rig field for 26 years. Rear-wheel drive layout plus multi-link independent suspension, rare at this price range. Space aspect wheelbase 2700mm, rear seats folded can form 1955mm pure flat large bed.

Benefits Completely Address Future Worries
What makes people feel most at ease is actually benefits — power battery thermal runaway damage due to battery reasons, directly compensate with a new car of the same model; if an accident occurs within one year of purchase due to intelligent driving system, compensation up to 5 million. Plus whole vehicle lifetime warranty (including three-electric system), basically solves future concerns completely.

109,900 yuan starting price at this level pure electric SUV not cheapest, but all series 600km range no price premium, global model quality endorsement, plus this safety config and chassis foundation, competitiveness is solid. Competitor aspect, Deepal S05 has market reputation, Changan Qiyuan Q05 more aggressive in intelligent driving. Fengyun T7 differentiation is: others first domestic then overseas, it first lets global market verify then return home — this "reverse input" logic, in 100,000-level pure electric SUV indeed rare.
Whether a car is good or not, know after driving. But at least on paper, Fengyun T7 made "slow work builds good cars" into visible and tangible product strength.
