Starting from 94,900 yuan, 600km range across all models! Chery Fengyun T7 launches

August 26, Chery Fengyun T7 officially launched. The new car offers three configurations, official guide price 97,900 - 118,900 yuan, limited-time early trade-in price directly down to 94,900 - 115,900 yuan, lowered by more than 10,000 yuan compared to the previous pre-sale price (109,900 - 129,900 yuan). Delivered upon launch, pre-sale orders broke 16,787 units in 9 days — this car might have to raise the threshold for the 100,000-level pure electric SUV market again.

Why say that? Because Fengyun T7 did something rare for this level: range parity.

All three models in the series, uniformly equipped with 65.05kWh Rhinoceros Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery, CLTC range is all 600km, no "entry-level 400km, high-spec only 600km" industry tricks. Official testing reached up to 681.6km, actual performance exceeds the claim. 30%-80% fast charging takes only 20 minutes, refuel about 300km in a cup of coffee time; 100km energy consumption as low as 12.9 kWh, also standard 6.6kW V2L, camping scenarios are also covered. Regarding power, front-mounted single motor max power 178kW, peak torque 275N·m, top speed 180km/h, drag coefficient 0.286, fully sufficient for daily commute and highway cruising.

More crucially, this car is not "China-specific", but a native global car.

Chery positions Fengyun T7 as "Global Quality Pure Electric SUV". R&D cycle 3 years, invested 81 durability test vehicles, cumulative driving 1.45 million km, traveled to 21 countries globally for real-vehicle trials, covering extreme environments such as high heat, extreme cold, high humidity, high salinity, etc., capable of adapting to temperature ranges from -40℃ to 55℃. Homologous model Lepas L6 already launched in Thailand, South Africa, later will also land in Indonesia, EU, Australia/New Zealand, etc. markets. Body developed according to 2026 version E-NCAP 5-star safety standards, pass global regulations first, then sell back home — this approach is almost unique in the 100,000-level pure electric SUV market.

Safety configurations are not reduced due to low price. 9 horizontal, 5 vertical cage body structure, high-strength steel proportion 80%, hot-formed steel proportion 18.84%. All series standard 9 airbags, includes 48L dual-chamber far-end airbag and 1778mm integrated side curtain airbag. Battery equipped with 6D Lock Armor 31-layer 3D protection structure, IP68 level waterproofing, side anti-compression capability reaches 2 times national standard. Chassis handled by an international team led by former Maserati chassis tuning experts, 50.8:49.2 golden axle load ratio, handling foundation is not bad.

In terms of smart cockpit, mid-low specs equipped with Qualcomm 8155 chip, high specs directly go with 4nm process Qualcomm 8775 Cockpit-Driving integrated chip (72 TOPS computing power), with 15.6-inch 2.5K floating central control screen + 8.8-inch LCD instrument, Lingxi Smart Cockpit 2.0 system supports multi-zone voice interaction and OTA upgrade. In terms of intelligent driving, high specs equipped with Falcon 500 system, 22 sensors in the whole car (3 mmWave radars + 7 cameras + 12 ultrasonic radars), support highway NOA pilot assist and 300+ scenario automatic parking; mid-low specs also get L2 level assisted driving and AEB active braking.

In terms of space performance, length 4570mm, wheelbase 2700mm, rear legroom 911mm, standard trunk volume 450L, rear seats folded can expand to 1550L, flat length about 1.95 meters, interior space utilization rate reaches 84%. SONY 8 speaker audio system, 50W mobile phone wireless charging, opening panoramic sunroof, 64-color ambient lighting, such comfort configurations are not missing.

Regarding purchase benefits, users can enjoy lifetime vehicle warranty (including three-electric systems), 1 time lifetime basic maintenance per year, financial plan offers 0 interest on 60,000 yuan over 2 years or interest-free for 3 years on 100,000 yuan over 5 years, trade-in users can also enjoy extra subsidies.

To be honest, this market of 100,000-level pure electric SUV, everyone understands the tricks of the past few years: low-spec range reduction, safety configuration cuts, smart experience rough. Fengyun T7's approach is very direct — using global car verification standards and safety redundancy to make a national price pure electric SUV. 94,900 starting, all series 600km range, 9 airbags, 8775 chip, putting these keywords together, competitors at the same price level face considerable pressure.

As for whether it can become the new benchmark of the 100,000-level pure electric SUV market, ultimately left to the market to verify. But at least this time, Chery took the "Steady Happiness" slogan and actually landed on product strength.
