On August 26, Chery Fengyun T7 was officially launched. Three trims, with CLTC range of 600km standard across the line, early trade-in price ranging from 94,900 to 115,900 yuan. At this price point with this configuration, the 100,000 yuan class pure electric SUV market has been stirred up yet again.

First, let's look at the core aspect - range. Fengyun T7 does not play the differentiation game of 'low trim short range, high trim long range'. All three versions are unified with the 65.05kWh Rhinoceros battery, with a CLTC range of 600km across the board. The official measured range data is 681.6km, which is considered reverse false advertising. Fast charging from 30%-80% takes just 20 minutes, and the battery cycle life exceeds 2500 cycles. Winter range anxiety has also been considered; all trims come standard with dual-source wide-temperature range heat pump air conditioning + high-voltage PTC, boosting range by 15%-30% at -10°C.
In terms of space, the wheelbase is 2700mm, and the interior efficiency rate is 84%. The trunk is 450L normally, expandable to 1550L with the rear seats folded down, capable of laying out a 1955mm x 1310mm flat bed for camping scenarios. It features 9-layer cloud-feel seats with heating and ventilation, 38 storage spaces throughout the vehicle, fully optimized for family use.
Safety is the highlight of this vehicle. Fengyun T7 was developed according to the 2026 E-NCAP five-star standard, featuring a nine-horizontal, five-vertical cage body structure. High-strength steel accounts for 80%, featuring the class-exclusive Shotgun structure, debuting with a dual-frame subframe + Pack anti-collision beam. It comes with 9 airbags, including 48L far-end dual-chamber airbags. The battery has 31 layers of protection, IP68 waterproof rating, and side crush resistance twice the national standard. It passed 1008 hours of salt spray testing and 105 seconds of fire testing. Officially, it is described as having a 'zero self-ignition design'.

Smart driving and smart cockpit did not compromise due to price. It debuts the class-first 4nm 8775 integrated cockpit and driving chip, with 72 TOPS computing power and 80ms system response. The 15.6-inch 2.5K large screen features Lingxi Smart Cockpit 2.0 with Doubao large model OTA, offering full-scenario fuzzy voice interaction, including rest, alertness, baby, and camping mode presets. The Falcon 500 smart driving system includes 22 sensors, supporting 300+ full-scenario automatic parking (including multi-level and off-vehicle parking), highway navigation assist, and 100m track reverse.
Notably, this car is not simply a domestic model modified for export, but a native global vehicle. A homologous model, Lepas L6, is already launched in South Africa and Thailand, with plans to enter Indonesia, the EU, Australia/New Zealand, and over 130 other countries and regions. During the R&D phase, 81 durability test vehicles were used, covering 1.45 million kilometers of specialized durability testing. The total vehicle mileage exceeded 6 million kilometers, covering 21 countries. It endured extreme temperatures from -40°C to 55°C and ran through seven extreme environmental tests: high temperature, extreme cold, high humidity, high salinity, and deep water immersion.

The launch benefits are very practical. Orders placed by September 30 enjoy 8 benefits: Limited-time free custom paint in Blaze Orange and Mountain Smoke Purple (value 6,000 yuan); choice between 2-year 0% interest for 60,000 yuan or 5-year 0% interest for 3 years on 100,000 yuan; 3,000 yuan trade-in subsidy regardless of brand; compensation for new car of the same model in case of power battery thermal runaway damage; up to 5 million yuan compensation for accidents caused by smart driving system faults within 1 year; lifetime warranty for the whole vehicle including the three-electric systems; lifetime basic maintenance package purchased for 666 yuan (originally 3,999 yuan); free base data for the first owner indefinitely. Additionally, the pre-sale activity where a 1,000 yuan deposit offsets 2,000 yuan of the purchase price has been extended to 24:00 on August 31.

The launch event invited Wu Kequn as the Happiness Experience Officer, who discussed 'Steady Happiness' with Chery Executive Vice President Li Xueyong. The 'Happiness Co-creation Plan' was also launched. The model is delivered upon launch, and the first batch of owners includes many foreign users.

To summarize Fengyun T7's logic: At a 100,000 yuan price point, it maximizes range, safety, and smart driving features that usually require additional payment for higher trims, backed by global market validation standards. The six major redundancies (collision, battery, range parity, full-domain energy efficiency, handling, whole-vehicle validation) correspond to the top pain points 100,000 yuan pure electric users worry about—trim downgrades, safety cutbacks, smart driving exclusivity to high trims, and insufficient validation.

Starting at 94,900 with a 600km range standard across the line, this vehicle has indeed raised the threshold for 100,000 yuan class pure electric SUVs once again.
