Go Global First, Then List at Home: Fengyun T7 Sets the Standard for 100,000-Level Pure Electric SUVs

On August 26, Chery Fengyun T7 officially launched. The theme of this launch event was somewhat unique — no discussion of parameters, no stacking of configurations; the five words "Steady Happiness" permeated the entire venue. Well-known musician Hacken Wu appeared at the launch event in the role of "Happiness Experience Officer". What he talked about on stage was not how grand the tech concepts were, but whether the color schemes were pleasing, if the space was large enough, and if parking was troublesome. This perspective hit exactly on the simplest concerns of family users when choosing a car.

On that day, Hacken Wu himself became the 001 owner of the Fengyun T7. At the launch, he also jointly launched the Fengyun T7 "Happiness Co-creation Plan" with Chery Automobile Executive Vice President Li Xueyong.

Writing at the end

100,000-level pure electric SUV market, range shrinkage, safety reduction, smart price markup tricks are not rare.

But what it brings, perhaps is exactly "Steady Happiness" needed by family users: 600km range no anxiety, rock body protects perfectly, 9 airbags underpin safety, 8775 chip makes smart not compromising. 97,900 yuan starting price, after adding launch benefits less than 100,000 yuan can get a global quality pure electric SUV.

Fengyun T7 has already started listing to delivery. This "slow work" global car, whether it can move those family users who pursue stability and peace of mind in a fast-paced market? The answer might lie in the hands of everyone who sits in the car.
