August 12, Chery Fengyun T7 officially opened pre-sale, three configurations pre-sale price 109,900 Yuan to 129,900 Yuan. Launch event theme defined as "Slow craftsmanship builds good cars, we've kept you waiting". In industry generally pursuing "18 months new car" rhythm, this theme itself is a statement — this car does not rush time.
Fengyun T7's R&D path differs from most domestic models. Its overseas counterpart model Lepas L6 debuted at Milan Design Week two months ago, and recently launched in Thailand. This means Fengyun T7 is not first launched domestically then exported, but first verified overseas then returned to China.
Relying on Chery's 23-year global technology accumulation, Fengyun T7 synchronously meets EU, UK, Australia, Southeast Asia, Middle East, South America and other countries and regions' regulatory standards. This 'reverse export' logic is not complex: products verified in overseas markets, upon return to domestic market, have already completed high-standard adaptive testing. Whole vehicle cumulative test mileage exceeds 6 million km, durability special test 1.45 million km, targeted Southeast Asia rainy season, Middle East high-temperature sun exposure, Indonesia high-humidity etc. global multi-regions conducted extreme real-vehicle trials. The cost of this path is time — but its return is, when the product finally faces users, it has already undergone enough extreme working condition verification.
Fengyun T7's design team is composed of Chery's 10 major global design centers, over 5,000 domestic and overseas users participated in co-creation throughout. Counterpart model Lepas L6 appearing at Milan Design Week received international recognition, overseas users called it "Little Macan". A set of design simultaneously appealing to European and Asian users, in automotive design field is not easy.
Fengyun T7 made an unconventional decision: all configuration versions uniformly equipped with 65.05 kWh Rhino Battery, CLTC range uniformly 600 km. In the industry convention where most car companies use low-range versions to lower entry price, range does not discount due to price, this logic is not common. Actual test range over 667 km, battery 30% charge to 80% only needs 20 minutes. Full series standard equipment dual-source wide-temperature-range heat pump air conditioning, -30°C to 55°C super wide temperature range stable operation, Northern user winter range attenuation problem was included in product definition stage.
In terms of safety, body adopts 80% high-strength steel, 18.84% hot-formed steel building 9 horizontal 5 vertical cage body, equipped with 9 airbags, including 48-liter dual-chamber far-end airbags and rear seat side airbags. Full series standard equipment Rhino Battery, IP68 waterproof is national standard 96 times. On active safety level, high-spec version equipped with Falcon 500 driving assistance system, composed of 22 high-precision sensors forming perception network, supports 300+ full-scenario automatic parking, including dead-end road parking, one-key tracking reverse, cross-floor parking etc. scenarios. Cockpit equipped with cockpit-integrated 8775 chip, 4nm process, 72 TOPS computing power.
Fengyun T7 launched two bottom-line guarantees: power battery safety bottom-line — caused by battery self-reasons resulting in whole-vehicle thermal runaway damage, compensate same model new car; driving assistance bottom-line — within one year of purchase due to intelligent driving system reasons causing accident, highest compensation 5 million Yuan. This 'bottom-line' is essentially a trust mechanism — rather than letting users worry about what to do if problem occurs, better directly write solution into rights. Current 100,000 to 150,000 Yuan pure electric SUV market, Leapmotor B10, BYD Yuan PLUS, Geely Galaxy E5, Deepal S05 etc. models have formed dense layout.
Fengyun T7 entering the competition is exactly the price segment where competition is most intense. Its differentiation strategy is clear: using overseas-verified quality standards, full-series 600 km range equality, cockpit-driving integrated chip and bottom-line rights, establish recognizability on configuration list. The true test is not whether pre-sale price is low enough, but after delivery, whether users can give 'worth waiting' evaluation on this 'slow work' polished car.
