Slow Craftsmanship Makes Good Cars, Chery Fengyun T7 Pre-sale Launches, Starting from 109,900 RMB

August 12, Chery Fengyun T7 officially started pre-sale, totaling 3 models, price range 109,900 - 129,900 RMB. However compared to price, the theme of this pre-sale launch is more interesting — "Slow craftsmanship makes good cars, sorry to keep you waiting", exactly aligning with the recent heated topic of "Quick-build cars".

In today's environment where an average of 3.6 new cars enter the market daily, few car companies are willing to admit they are "slow". But Chery really has the confidence to say this word this time, Fengyun T7 spent exactly 2 years on planning and 3 years on R&D from planning to launch.

Go Global First, Then Return Home, This Car Took a Different Path

The homologous model Lepas L6 of Fengyun T7 has already launched in South Africa and Thailand first, and will land in the EU, Australia/New Zealand, UK and other markets later. Completely opposite to the rhythm of most independent brands "sell in domestic market first then go global", it runs a circle globally first, verifies it, then returns to China.

This is not simply "export turned domestic sales". Chery has ranked first in passenger car exports among Chinese brands for 23 consecutive years, with global users breaking 20 million, and products sold to more than 130 overseas markets. Fengyun T7 has been synchronously adapting to regulations, road conditions, and user needs of different regions globally from the beginning of R&D, not just a domestic model revised for export.

Fengyun T7 is developed according to the 2026 version E-NCAP five-star safety standard, functional safety reaches ASIL D high level. Environmental adaptation range covers -40℃ to 55℃, equipped with dual-source wide temperature range heat pump + PTC system, winter range achievement rate can be improved by 30%.

The data in the verification phase is more intuitive, 81 exclusive durability cars synchronized road tests, vehicle cumulative test mileage over 6 million kilometers, durability special test 1.45 million kilometers. Covering EU, Australia/New Zealand, Middle East, South Africa, Russia, Mexico, Brazil and other hundreds of extreme road conditions. Traveled Brazilian high speed bumps, Mexican cobblestone roads, German highway large curvature bends, South Africa unpaved muddy roads, basically ran all road conditions that can be encountered globally.

Product Power: Equal Treatment for All Series, No Differentiation between High and Low Configurations

After talking about the "slow" part, let's look at the product itself.

In terms of range, all models are equipped with 65.05kWh Rhino batteries, CLTC range is 600km for all. Entry-level does not cut range, high configuration does not raise price by adding batteries, 30%-80% fast charge 20 minutes. Battery cycle life over 2,500 times, calculated at 20,000 km per year for family cars, no need to change battery for 15 years.

In terms of safety, the body high strength steel proportion is 80%, hot-formed steel 18.84%, also 9 airbags, including dual-chamber remote airbags and ultra-long side air curtains. Battery pack IP68 waterproof, side anti-crushing 200kN, all are multiples of national standard level.

In terms of design, Fengyun T7 also brings a new look, compared to Chery's previous models, more young and sporty. Also providing 6 exclusive color schemes, can adapt to different family aesthetics.

In terms of body dimensions, length, width, height are 4570mm/1852mm/1694mm respectively, wheelbase 2700mm, is standard compact SUV body. But "space utilization rate" reached 84%, standard state trunk volume is 450L, after folding rear seats can expand to 1550L, also has 38 storage spaces.

Red Dot Car Review

The competition in the current pure electric market has shifted from stacking specs to comparing quality. Fengyun T7 takes a path of "slow work yields fine work", using global R&D system as foundation, using global road conditions verification to gather experience, finally landing domestically with unified standards.

Although launching domestically was a bit slow, the 109,900 - 129,900 RMB pre-sale price shows full sincerity.
