Fengyun T7: Three Years of Craftsmanship, Starting at 94,900 Yuan

On August 26, at the Beijing Yanqi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center, a launch event themed "Steady Happiness" was held here. The all-new Fengyun T7 officially went on sale, with three versions. The official guide price is 97,900 — 118,900 Yuan, and the priority trade-in price is 94,900 — 115,900 Yuan.

At a time when the new energy vehicle industry is deeply trapped in the vortex of "involution" where "only speed prevails", Chery goes against the grain — spending a 3-year R&D cycle to polish a 100,000-level pure electric SUV.

The greatest uniqueness of the Fengyun T7 lies in the fact that it is not a "China special supply" model, but a native global car defined from the source. The sibling model Lepas L6 has already launched and delivered first in South Africa and Thailand, landed in Indonesia in August, entered the EU in September, and covered Australia/New Zealand, the UK, Israel, Malaysia, and other regions in October. Before officially meeting Chinese consumers, this car has already completed the full process of launch, delivery, and real user usage trials overseas.

This "overseas first, domestic later" path is almost unique among 100,000-level pure electric SUVs.

A three-year R&D cycle, in today's industry environment pursuing "fast iteration, fast landing", can be described as a "luxury". Chery utilized the global "1+7+N" R&D system, mobilizing over 100 designers from ten global design centers to collaborate. In the early stage of the project, the team delved into 15 representative countries and completed in-depth research with 5,000 global users. When the sibling model Lepas L6 debuted at the Milan Design Week, the reviews received were not "stunning", but "timeless" — this is the result under the consensus of global aesthetics.

In terms of safety, the Fengyun T7's body structure, battery protection, and active safety systems were all developed benchmarking the 2026 version E-NCAP five-star safety standards, leading a whole safety standard cycle ahead of most same-priced models in the current market. The vehicle's environmental adaptability covers the extreme range of -40°C to 55°C. Dual-source heating for Nordic winters and 500mm wading capability for tropical rainy seasons are all included in basic engineering indicators.

The Fengyun T7's validation system is likely the most "unrestrained" existence in its class. 81 exclusive durability test cars underwent road testing simultaneously. The cumulative vehicle test mileage exceeded 6 million km, with the durability special test reaching 1.45 million km. Test tracks covered 100+ extreme road environment conditions across the EU, Australia/New Zealand, Middle East, South Africa, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, and more.

High speed bumps in Brazil, cobblestone roads in Mexico, high-speed highway sharp curves in Germany, unpaved muddy roads in South Africa, waterlogged sections in Southeast Asian rainy seasons, and high-temperature sun exposure in the Middle East — all are real road measurements, not laboratory simulation data. As the official stated: "All quality validations come from real roads."

Before its official debut domestically, test cars had already frequently appeared all over the world. The Associated Press once gave a positive evaluation of this global validation system, and foreign viewing teams at the Chengdu Auto Show also showed strong interest in the Fengyun T7. Chery has ranked first in exports of Chinese brand passenger cars for 23 consecutive years, with global users exceeding 20 million. The globalization experience accumulated over many years is fully fed back into the product power of the Fengyun T7.

The 94,900 Yuan priority trade-in price is the most direct signal Fengyun T7 sends to the market. But more worth attention than the price is what lies behind: three years of R&D, global validation, E-NCAP forward-looking standards, and hundreds of tests on extreme road conditions.

When the entire industry is chasing "faster", Chery has given another answer with the Fengyun T7 — a reliable good car for the global market, which cannot be rushed and cannot be made too fast. The 100,000-level pure electric SUV market never lacks cheap products; what it lacks are choices of "cheap but reliable". When a car does not become loose on Brazil's speed bumps, does not degrade in the Middle East's high heat, and does not drift in Germany's curves, it will not disappoint in the daily commute of Chinese families.
