Overseas Mid-to-High-End Brand Debut, Dual-Car Shared Origin Becomes Key Highlight
Chery's overseas mid-to-high-end new energy brand Lepas held the Global Elegance Night event, with its all-electric model Lepas L6 publicly debuting. Many consumers mistakenly understand it as domestic models relabeled for export; in reality, Lepas L6 and the domestic Fengyun T7 are native shared-origin global cars launched simultaneously, sharing the same R&D, verification, and quality control system.
Currently, Lepas L6 has landed in the Thai and South African markets, and will subsequently enter strict overseas regions like the EU and Australia/New Zealand. This event also directs attention to Fengyun T7. This model aimed at domestic families draws heavily from overseas market development experience in its product definition, representing Chery's global system feeding back into the domestic market.
Unlike the industry-common model of "building cars domestically and retrofitting to adapt to overseas regulations" later on, Chery adopts a development approach with global standards prioritized. During the product development phase, 15 typical country user visits and over 5,000 global user surveys were completed. Overseas market regulatory constraints and user driving habits were directly input into the product definition of domestic models. As a Chinese passenger car brand leading in export volume for 23 consecutive years, Chery has surpassed 20 million global users, with business covering over 130 overseas markets. It also obtained voting rights for the IATF16949 standard revision, upgrading from complying with overseas standards to participating in global automotive rule-making.
Shared Origin is More Than a Concept; R&D Verification Standards Unified Domestically and Overseas
The so-called dual-car shared origin is not a simple concept promotion, but spans the entire process from project initiation, testing, to quality control. Both cars are natively developed for 210 countries and regions globally, with development baselines benchmarked against the 2026 version E-NCAP 5-star safety standards, while accommodating multiple collision regulations like CNCAP and ASEAN NCAP. Core technologies for chassis, three-electric systems, and body safety architecture remain consistent, with no separate high-spec overseas and low-spec domestic plans.
There is no distinction between domestic and overseas versions in the vehicle verification link. The project invested 81 durability test vehicles, with cumulative vehicle test mileage exceeding 6 million km, and durability special test mileage reaching 1.45 million km. Test scenarios cover over 100 extreme road conditions including Nordic extreme cold, Middle East high temperatures, Brazilian bumpy roads, South African unpaved earth roads, with environmental adaptation intervals covering -40°C to 60°C. The entire set of verification data serves both Lepas L6 and Fengyun T7. Issues such as noise, weatherability, and chassis reliability are all closed-looped during the R&D phase.
At the hardware quality control level, Fengyun T7 and the overseas version Lepas L6 maintain unified safety hardware baseline. A nine-cross five-long cage body made of 80% high-strength steel, equipped with Shotgun structure, dual-frame subframes combined with Pack anti-collision beams, and standard 9 airbags. Rhino Battery features 31-layer 6D lock armor protection structure, possesses IP68 waterproof capability, and 200kN side anti-crushing capability reaching twice the national standard; this protection specification has no differences between domestic and overseas models. Relying on real market feedback from launches in multiple overseas regions, the quality of this shared-origin product is also practically verified.
Facing Family Users, Fengyun T7's Core Product Hard Power
Built on the global system, Fengyun T7 implements overseas verification results in home use scenarios. Product highlights can be summarized into four dimensions: range, safety, cockpit, and space.
Regarding range, the model achieves uniform configuration across the series, standard equipped with 65.05kWh Rhino Battery, CLTC range 600km, official tested range higher than rated value, 30%-80% fast charging takes 20 minutes, battery cycle life up to 2500 times. Series equipped with AGS intelligent air intake grille, dual-source wide-temperature heat pump air conditioning, range can increase 15%-20% in -10°C environment, alleviating low-temperature range degradation pain points. 178kW motor paired with four-wheel independent suspension, 50.8:49.2 axle load ratio, balancing daily commuting comfort and handling reserve for complex road conditions.
Full multiple redundancy design in safety. Besides cage body and 9 airbag configuration, battery completes multiple strict tests like salt spray and fire; whole vehicle undergoes 21 country real-vehicle verification, securing 212 regulation certifications, and massive extreme road condition tests avoid fault risks users actually encounter in advance.
Smart cockpit equipped with 4nm process 8775 cockpit-driving integrated chip, 72 TOPS computing power, system response as low as 80 milliseconds, connects Doubao large model to achieve natural full-scenario voice interaction. 22 sensors support cockpit-driving-parking integrated solution,可以实现 300+ scenario automatic parking, highway pilot assistance, while providing multiple preset in-vehicle scene modes such as nap, baby, camping, etc.
Space aspect, 2700mm wheelbase brings 84% cabin efficiency, flat rear floor; after folding rear seats, can form nearly 2 meters pure flat expansion space, trunk conventional volume 450L, after expansion up to 1550L, with multiple partition storage, adapting to family travel, outdoor camping, and other diverse needs. Seats use nine-layer composite structure, support heating and ventilation, balancing long-distance riding comfort.
Chinese Car Makers' Globalization, Moving from Product Export to System Export
The "mutual empowerment" model of Fengyun T7 and Lepas L6 also reflects changes in domestic car makers' export models. Early Chinese car exports were mainly based on whole vehicle and parts product output, while Chery's model is outputting R&D network, test verification system, and global standards synchronously. Technology experience accumulated in overseas markets is then fed back to domestic consumers.
Simply put, domestic users do not need to go abroad to enjoy models refined to adapt to global strict regulations and road conditions. When more and more Chinese car makers stop doing "relabeled export" and instead develop native models synchronously for domestic and overseas markets, it also means that Chinese automotive globalization has reached a new stage of system capability competition.
