Although parameters look similar, the actual driving experience differs significantly——loose chassis, overstated range, many minor issues. Car selection shouldn't rely solely on spec sheets. This vehicle undergoes validation in 21 countries globally and 1.45 million kilometers of durability testing, resolving issues during the R&D phase.

The 100,000-level pure electric SUV market is going through a stage of "parameter prosperity but mixed experiences". Spec sheets of various models are becoming more impressive——range is increasing, screens are getting larger, chips are upgrading. But the real differentiation often lies in the invisible areas: chassis tuning, durability validation, environmental adaptation.

The underlying logic of Fengyun T7 is: Conduct global validation first, then return home, resolving issues before the users do.

1.45 million kilometers of durability validation, covering 95% of global road types

Fengyun T7's validation system can be summarized in two words: Redundancy.

81 dedicated durability test vehicles were deployed globally simultaneously. Total vehicle cumulative test mileage exceeds 6 million kilometers, with 1.45 million kilometers of specific durability testing. Test coverage spans 100+ extreme road environments including EU, Australia and New Zealand, Middle East, South Africa, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, etc.

Covers 95% of global road types: Brazilian speed bumps, Mexican cobblestone roads, German high-speed high-curvature turns, South African unpaved muddy roads. Full environmental adaptation range -40℃ to 55℃.

7 categories of extreme environment validation overcome one by one: Southeast Asian rainy season verified 500mm off-road wading capability; Middle East high-temperature sun exposure 40℃ overheating protection; Indonesia high-humidity environment filter odor control; Siberia snow/rain low temperature wiper life enhancement; Nordic polar night interior lighting optimization; Brazilian gravel road battery connector multi-protection; Mexican cobblestone road durability noise special verification.

80+ items of localization adaptation, the essential difference between a true global car and an "export modified car"

Fengyun T7's "global car" identity is reflected not only in the breadth of validation but also in the depth of adaptation.

Differentiated adaptations made for 80+ local habits. Thailand right-hand drive preference for heavy feel, steering force tuning increased by 1 level; Indonesia bumpy roads lack security feeling, steering feel weighted and return quality optimized; Southeast Asia, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand strong light driving, steering wheel and center console use low-reflection materials; Turkey, Israel users prefer hard switches, high-frequency functions retain physical buttons; European car front garage parking habit, 70cm automatic display of front camera image.

These seemingly trivial adaptations are exactly the essential difference between a true global car and an "export modified car".

The same-origin model Lepas L6 has launched first in Thailand, South Africa, landing in China and Indonesia in August, entering the EU in September, and will promote Australia and New Zealand, UK, Israel, Malaysia in October. Every stop must undergo local regulation certification, user research, and real vehicle validation.

The vehicle replacement cycle is generally 5-8 years. This means the interior must accompany you for at least 5 years. But for many models, "durability" only looks good on the spec sheet — seat foam sags after two years, center console chip computing power cannot keep up with OTA upgrades, and interior materials fade and age after sun exposure.

This is especially true in the 100,000 market. Car companies spend costs on "visible" configurations, while long-term issues like seat durability, chip redundancy, and material aging, these "invisible" problems, are often ignored. The spec sheet looks good, but long-term use is discounted — this is a common pain point in the 100,000 market.

During long-term use, the three places in the interior where problems are most likely to occur:

Seat Sagging: Ordinary seats use low-density foam, losing support after sitting for one or two years, causing depressions. Sagging seats are not only uncomfortable to sit on but also affect driving posture, causing waist and back pain.

Material Wear: Ordinary plastic parts and leather start fading, cracking, and peeling under UV rays and daily friction within two or three years. The dashboard turns white after sun exposure, and the steering wheel and door panel handrails lose color after long-term touching.

System Lag: Insufficient car chip computing power, with OTA upgrades and application increases, boot speed becomes slower and operation more laggy. Not noticeable at first, but after two or three years, the lag becomes more obvious.

Chip process determines the potential for system upgrades in the coming years, seat structure determines long-term comfort — these two items are exactly what are most easily overlooked on the spec sheet.

Fengyun T7's design philosophy for cockpit durability is: ensuring quality for long-term use from three dimensions — seat, material, and chip.

Seat Durability: 9-Layer Structure Ensures Long-term Non-Sagging

Fengyun T7's 9-layer cloud-feel seats are not just "comfortable to sit on," but also "won't sag after long-term sitting." The key lies in structural design:

Body Foam Layer plus Foam Non-woven Reinforcement Layer: Provides long-term support, won't sag like ordinary foam after two years

Suspension System: Elastic support structure, disperses pressure, delays fatigue

Noise Reduction Reinforcement Layer: Reduces noise during long-term use

Ordinary seat foam loses elasticity and shows indentations after two years. Fengyun T7's 9-layer structure ensures support during long-term use through the combination of body foam layer and reinforcement layer. The suspension system disperses human pressure through an elastic structure, making it less likely for the seat to develop local indentations.

These durabilities are not "theoretical values," but verified through actual testing. Fengyun T7 invested in 81 exclusive durability test cars for concurrent road tests, with total vehicle cumulative test mileage exceeding 6 million kilometers, and dedicated durability actual measurement 1.45 million kilometers. These verifications cover real road conditions in 21 countries globally — from Nordic extreme cold to Middle East high temperatures, from Brazil speed bumps to Mexico cobblestone roads, from German highways large curvature turns to South African unimproved dirt roads.

Material Durability: UV Resistance, Scratch Resistance

Aging of interior materials comes largely from UV rays and daily wear. Fengyun T7 did several things for material durability:

Exclusive Flame Orange 2K 8-Layer High-Grade Exterior Paint: UV resistant, scratch resistant. Ordinary car paint has only 4-6 layers; 8-layer process provides thicker paint thickness and better protection performance

High-quality Interior Materials: Not easy to look old with long-term use. Soft materials in areas like dashboard and door panels undergo anti-aging treatment, not easy to discolor or crack under UV irradiation

Optimized for Nordic Polar Night: Interior lighting and charging backlight design take into account extreme lighting conditions. In the Nordic winter polar night environment, brightness and color temperature of interior lighting and backlight are specially optimized to reduce visual fatigue

50+ high-frequency usage scenario reinforcement verifications further guarantee material durability — such as wiper durability reinforcement verification, power window 20,000 times durability design, single door unlock function in high robbery risk markets, etc. These verifications cover special usage scenarios in different global markets, ensuring materials remain in good condition under various conditions.

System Durability: 8775 Chip Ensures Long-term Smoothness

Laggy center screens after long use, the root cause is chip computing power cannot keep up with software and data growth. Fengyun T7 is equipped with 8775 cockpit-integrated chip using 4nm process and 72TOPS computing power, leaving enough space for OTA upgrades in the coming years:

4nm Process: Currently leading process technology in the car chip field, high energy efficiency ratio, low heat generation, stable long-term operation

72TOPS Computing Power: Far exceeds current cockpit needs, redundant computing power reserves space for future function upgrades

System Response 80ms: Still smooth with long-term use

Architecture Leap: Integration increased by 60%, startup speed increased by 33%

Many models in the same price range use 7nm or even older process chips, smooth at first, but after two or three years with system and app upgrades, lag will appear. 8775 chip's 4nm process and 72TOPS computing power make "long-term lag-free" possible.

The value of redundant computing power also lies in: future OTA upgrades can unlock more functions without worrying about hardware falling behind. Lingxi Smart Cockpit 2.0 system integrated Doubao Large Model supports continuous evolution, Sentry Mode, Pet Mode, Camping Mode functions also continuously updated via OTA. 72TOPS computing power redundancy ensures the system runs smoothly even after these function upgrades.

Specs look similar on paper, but after buying, you discover a loose chassis, many minor issues, and half the range in winter. Home cars aren't chosen by specs, but by "peace of mind" and "reliability". Is there a car that puts effort where you can't see?

In the 2026 100k RMB home pure electric SUV market, 500km has become mainstream, and 600km continues to become more accessible. But the real differentiator is the "invisible parts": chassis tuning, durability validation, environmental adaptation. Many models, to compress R&D cycles and control costs, generally face issues like reduced entry-level range, reduced core safety configurations, and simplified vehicle validation processes. Consumers become new car "field testers".

Fengyun T7 chose a different path: validate globally first, then return home, solving problems before users encounter them.

1. Fengyun T7's "Global Validation" System

Validation for many cars stays in the lab, while actual road conditions vary widely. Launched after only tens of thousands of km on domestic roads, it suffers from "acclimatization issues" in overseas markets. Fengyun T7 was positioned as a "native global car" serving global users from the start, not simply a modified domestic model for export, but synchronized to adapt to usage needs in 210 countries and regions.

In terms of R&D, Fengyun T7 was refined over 3 years, relying on Chery's global "1+7+N" R&D system, co-designed by over 100 designers from the top 10 global design centers, deeply incorporating co-creation opinions from 5000+ global users. Safety standards benchmarked directly against the 2026 E-NCAP 5-star standard, forcing product design with advanced regulatory requirements, giving it the hard power to enter high-regulation European markets.

In validation phases, Fengyun T7 showed amazing "redundant" investment: 81 exclusive durability test vehicles deployed globally simultaneously. Total vehicle accumulated test mileage exceeds 6 million km. Durability specific testing 1.45 million km. This is equivalent to circling Earth's equator 36 times. All quality validation comes from real roads, not lab simulation data. During road tests, users worldwide encounter Fengyun T7, from high speed bumps in Brazil to cobblestones in Mexico, from high-speed tight curves in Germany to unpaved mud roads in South Africa, Fengyun T7 appears on real roads across continents.

Validation environments cover extreme temperature zones from Nordic cold (-40°C) to Middle East heat (55°C). As well as complex road types covering 95% of global road types, including Brazil speed bumps, Mexican cobblestones, German highway curves. Completed 212 global regulatory certifications. Over 80 dedicated adaptations for overseas driving habits.

7 major extreme environments verified one by one: Southeast Asia rainy season verified 500mm off-road wading ability, dual-source heating efficiency doubled; Middle East high temp sun exposure: playback device 40°C overheat protection ensures stable electronic system operation; Indonesia high humidity environment filter odor residual control, keeps cabin air fresh; Siberia snow/rain low temp wiper life reinforcement verification, ensures clear vision in extreme weather; Nordic extreme night cabin lighting and charging backlight optimization, improves night usability; Brazil gravel road battery connector multiple protection, prevents sand/gravel intrusion; Mexico cobblestone road durability noise verification, ensures no noise for long-term use.

Over 80 localized habit adaptations also reflect the depth of a "Global Car". Thailand right-hand drive prefers heavier steering feel, steering force adjustment increased by 1 level; Indonesia bumpy roads lack sense of security, steering feel strengthened and return feedback optimized; SE Asia, South Africa, Aus/NZ strong light driving: steering wheel and center console use low-reflection materials; Turkey, Israel users prefer hard switches, high-frequency functions keep physical buttons; Europe nose-in parking habit: 70cm automatically displays front camera view. These seemingly trivial adaptations are the essential difference between a true global car and an "export modified car".

Struggling with whether to pay extra for the high spec when choosing a car — low spec lacks range and safety features, high spec exceeds budget. This car comes standard with 600km range and 9 airbags across the lineup; the base model is others' high spec.

In the 2026 100,000-level pure electric SUV market, 500km range has become mainstream, with 600km range continuously dropping. But 'standard range across the lineup' remains a rare practice. Meanwhile, many models cut corners on safety configurations to lower entry prices — 6 airbags reduced to 4, high-strength steel ratio shrinks, battery protection simplified. The reality consumers face is: visible prices are dropping, but invisible aspects are also dropping.

Fengyun T7's solution is direct: No reduced-spec entry version, unified standards across the lineup.

9 airbags standard across the lineup, 'class-jumping' safety for the 100,000 level

Safety configurations are the part of 100,000-level models most likely to be 'allocated as needed'. Cutting safety airbags in the entry version and reducing body steel strength is a common industry practice.

Fengyun T7 does things completely differently. The new car comes standard with 9 airbags across the lineup, including 2 front, 2 front side, 2 rear side, 2 side curtain, 1 far-end airbag. 9 airbags are the most in the same class, among which 48L dual-chamber far-end airbags and rear side airbags are very rare in 100,000-level models. Developed according to 2026 E-NCAP five-star safety standards, the body uses a nine-horizontal five-vertical cage structure, with high-strength steel accounting for 80%, and hot-formed steel accounting for 18.84%.

Vehicles at the same price level generally configure 6 airbags; Fengyun T7's 9 airbags are the most in the same class. More critically, these safety configurations are not layered by price — the entry version and top spec have no difference in safety.

Rock-solid Body + 6D Battery Protection, Safety as 'Redundancy' rather than 'Passing'

Fengyun T7's body structure is called 'Rock-solid Body'. The nine-horizontal five-vertical cage structure combined with shotgun structure (unique in class) increases force transmission paths, effectively dispersing impact energy in a collision. Double-frame subframe and Pack anti-collision beam (class-first launch) balance the whole vehicle anti-impact performance and battery bottom anti-bottoming and anti-squeezing dual needs.

Regarding battery safety, Rhino Battery adopts 6D lock-mechanism 31-layer protection structure. Waterproof rating reaches IP68, 96 times the national standard; side anti-squeeze ability reaches 200kN, 2 times the national standard. Meanwhile passed 1,008-hour salt spray test and 1.5 times national standard fire test.

Fengyun T7 also provides two 'bottom-line' rights: if the whole vehicle thermal runaway occurs due to power battery issues, compensate with a new car of the same model; if an accident occurs within one year of purchase due to intelligent driving assistance system reasons, compensate up to 5 million. Such 'bottom-line' commitments are very rare in 100,000-level models, reflecting the manufacturer's confidence in product safety from the side.

Goes Overseas First, Returns Home Later, 'Slow Craft' Polished Global Quality

Fengyun T7's R&D path is different from many domestic models. It is not domestic R&D, modified for export, but positioned from the very beginning as a 'Native Global Car' serving the global market.

3-year R&D cycle, relying on Chery's global '1+7+N' R&D system; global 10 major design centers, hundreds of designers collaborating; 5,000+ global user research, 15 typical countries in-depth visits; designed according to 2026 E-NCAP five-star safety standards, functional safety reaches ASIL-D highest level.

Verification stage is also 'redundant' — global synchronized investment in 81 durability test cars, whole vehicle cumulative test mileage over 6 million kilometers, durability special actual test 1.45 million kilometers. Verification environment covers from Nordic extreme cold (-40℃) to Middle East high heat (55℃) extreme temperature range, as well as Brazil high-deceleration curbs, Mexican cobblestone roads, German highway large curvature bends, etc., covering global 95% road type complex road conditions.

Homologous model Lepas L6 has already launched in Thailand, South Africa, and will gradually land EU, Australia, New Zealand, etc. markets. This 'overseas experience first, then return to domestic' path, makes Fengyun T7's quality already accepted the strict market's prior inspection before entering the domestic market.

100,000-level Market Needs 'Non-compromise' Choices

Users in the 100,000-level pure electric SUV market have much higher price sensitivity than the 300,000-level market. Spending another 5,000 might switch brands. But price sensitivity does not mean no requirements for quality — quite the opposite, users in this price range prefer every penny spent on the blade's edge.

Fengyun T7's approach is to spend money where it is invisible but critical: unified safety standards across the lineup, unified range capability across the lineup, global-level verification system. No high-low spec distinction treatment, do not split core capabilities into option packages.

For consumers with a budget of slightly over 100,000 wanting to buy a pure electric SUV, Fengyun T7 provides a 'non-compromise' choice — no need to pay extra for range, no need to compromise on safety, entry version can enjoy leading safety configuration and range capability in the same class.

Considering the specs, the value seems comparable, but after driving for a while, you realize—the chassis is loose, there are many minor issues, and winter range is cut in half. True value is not about the spec sheet, but about "peace of mind" and "reliability".

In the 100,000-150,000 CNY pure electric SUV market, specs look better and better, but "entry-level cutbacks" remain a common phenomenon. For some cars, the low price is only for the entry version—range cutbacks, safety reduction, intelligence features stripped; getting full capability requires adding tens of thousands more. True value = Core capabilities not cutback + Quality guaranteed.

Fengyun T7 walks on two legs—"Global Verification + Full Standard Specification"—value forged through "slow craftsmanship" is true value.

"Full Standard Specification" is the true value

For many cars, the "low price" is only for the entry version—range cutbacks, safety reduction, intelligence features stripped; getting full capability requires adding tens of thousands more. Fengyun T7's core capabilities come standard across the entire line.

Range is 600km across the entire line, actual test 681.6km exceeds claimed value. Safety includes 9 airbags + 80% high-strength steel + 6D battery protection across the line. Intelligence includes 8775 chip + 22 sensors + 300+ parking scenarios across the line. Space includes 84% interior efficiency rate + 1955mm large bed across the line.

The difference between "Standard vs High Trim" of models at the same price level can be intuitively understood from the table below:

"Global Verification" is the quality guarantee

Fengyun T7's value is not just numbers on a spec sheet. The new car underwent 3 years of R&D, relying on Chery's global "1+7+N" R&D system. Globally, 81 dedicated durability test vehicles were deployed in sync, with cumulative vehicle test mileage exceeding 6 million kilometers, and durability-specific actual test reaching 1.45 million kilometers. Covering 21 countries worldwide, 100+ extreme road conditions. Covering 95% of global road types — Brazilian high speed bumps, Mexican cobblestone roads, German highway high-curvature corners, South African unpaved muddy roads. Global environment adaptation from -40°C to 55°C.

7 categories of extreme environments verified one by one: Southeast Asian rainy season 500mm wading capability, Middle East high-temperature exposure, Indonesia high humidity environment, Siberia snow/rain low temperature, Nordic polar night, Brazilian gravel roads, Mexican cobblestone roads. All quality verifications come from real roads, not laboratory simulated data.

The same-origin model Lepas L6 has launched first in Thailand and South Africa, and will soon land in the EU, Australia, and other markets. Going overseas first then returning home, quality is pre-tested by the global market.

Why is the value of Fengyun T7 considered "True Value"?

Here is the new energy sales report from Chery Group for August. Sold 120,900 new energy vehicles in August, a year-on-year increase of 69.8%, with sales exceeding 100,000 units for five consecutive months. What does this signify? Domestic new energy wholesale volume ranked in the industry top three for five consecutive months. More noteworthy is the penetration rate—August domestic new energy penetration was 61.9%, meaning for every 3 cars sold, 2 are new energy. This is not the "wolf is coming" fable, but results achieved through fierce competition. From a global perspective, from January to July this year, Chery new energy sales accounted for 5.5% of the global share, ranking in the top five automotive groups worldwide. Chinese automotive groups occupy four of the TOP5 spots, and Chery is one of them. From quantitative to qualitative change, Chery's pace is accelerating.

Author: Wang Shanshan

Braking is not admitting defeat; it is changing lanes. "Cannot live in past success," does not deny the past, but sees the future clearly.

Cars are not FMCG and should not chase short-term quick gains. But the reality is, the competition in the entire industry has degenerated into a racing game. Capital pressure, traffic frenzy, constantly squeezing automakers' development cycles. When everyone is accelerating, someone choosing to decelerate becomes an outlier.

Recently, the Chery Fengyun T7 went on sale. Chery Automobile Executive Vice President Li Xueyong went on stage and his first sentence silenced the venue for a few seconds: "Global cars, they can't be rushed."

In the current automotive industry, this sentence is almost going against everyone. Vehicle development cycles have been compressed from 48 months to 26 months, and bugs that should have been solved in the lab were directly handed over to owners for road testing. Chery took a completely opposite path. The Fengyun T7 underwent 2 years of planning and 3 years of R&D, completing 1.45 million kilometers in durability special testing. The homologous model Lepas L6 was launched in Thailand and pre-sold in South Africa first, refining the overseas market before returning to the domestic market, taking a non-mainstream "reverse listing" path.

This new car that chose to "make it slowly" tore open the most core proposition for Chery: When the entire industry is desperately stepping on the gas, why did Chery hit the brakes?

Why Step on the Brakes After 20 Million Units?

A month ago, on July 25, Chery's global cumulative sales broke through 20 million units. For any automaker, this is a moment worthy of a grand celebration. But Chery's celebration exuded abnormality from start to finish.

Not immersed in the number frenzy, Yin Tongyue said a paragraph of words publicly: "After 20 million, we will no longer participate in involution, no longer only pursue sales, but pursue brand moving upmarket, pursue more technical breakthroughs, and pursue greater improvement in customer satisfaction."

From an outsider's perspective, Chery which has been sprinting all the way seems to have no need to adjust. From 960,000 units in 2021 to 2.8 million units last year, the growth curve is pretty enough. But Yin Tongyue almost stepped on the brakes and turned the steering wheel.

Subsequently, Chery Automobile Executive Vice President Zhang Guozhong spoke even more transparently: "Chery cannot live in past success experiences. Facing rapid industry changes, some need minor adjustments, some even need restructuring, only in this way can we adapt to the development of the next cycle."

He gave an example. A few years ago, the industry mainstream judgment on future energy structure was hybrid 4, pure electric 3, fuel 3, but now pure electric growth speed and market share have long far exceeded initial expectations. "Such consumption trend changes come very fast and fierce. In the past, we thought Falcon 500 intelligent driving was enough, but starting from the second quarter, consumers want higher-order versions like Falcon 700 or even 900 more."

Changes come too fast. If Chery still clings to 20 years of past success experiences—continuing to rely on fuel vehicle dividends, continuing to prioritize sales, continuing to use past product definition logic to cope with the market—it is very likely to fall behind in the next cycle.

What Did We Do Right in the Past 20 Years?

To understand why Chery needs to "brake", we must first understand how Chery "ran" to today.

Chery's rise was itself a resistance to industry prejudices. In the 1990s, two phrases were popular in the Chinese automotive circle: Without joint ventures there is no way to live; do not talk about independent R&D until you reach the million unit scale. Chery simply did not believe it.

In 1999, the first independently developed engine ignited successfully. In December of the same year, the first "Fengyun" went off the line. Without joint venture endorsement and without existing systems, Chery hard-chewed core components like engines, transmissions, and chassis from scratch, becoming the first Chinese brand automaker to master core "three major components" technology. This persistence in independent technology R&D allowed Chery to dodge many automakers' "strangled throat" crises.

This road was walked correctly. In 2007, Chery became the first domestic brand to accumulate sales exceeding one million units. The QQ achieved a sales legend of 1.4 million units, allowing ordinary families to drive private cars. The Tiggo series, relying on high cost-performance and low maintenance costs, quickly expanded scale, accumulated massive users and a complete supply chain, completing the most critical initial accumulation for the enterprise.

The smartest move Chery made was stepping out of the country early. In 2001, the first batch of Fengyun exported to Syria, ranking first in Chinese brand passenger car exports continuously for 23 years. When all domestic brands squeezed in the domestic market for fierce close-quarters combat, Chery quietly paved global channels. Overseas markets have always been Chery's cornerstone; when domestic price wars don't make money, overseas markets provide stable financial support and hedge risks.

In summary, Chery's past success logic is not complicated: Use independent R&D to stabilize the chassis, use cost-performance to expand sales, use overseas to stabilize the core base.

This play style worked time and time again over the past 20 years. But now, the halo is dimmed.

Why Not Live in the Past?

The most fundamental change in the industry is: shifting from incremental expansion to stock competition. The extensive growth model of diluting costs by scale and exchanging price for volume has reached its end; industry profit margins dropped to 1.5%, even showing selling more means losing more. Desperately chasing sales is no longer making big and strong, but inefficient internal friction.

Another change is sector switching. What Chery is best at is hardware R&D and power technology in the fuel vehicle era. But the current competition core is electrification, intelligence, and software experience. In the past, we compared whether cars were durable enough and if power was strong enough; now we compare whether intelligent driving is easy to use and if the car system is smooth enough. Chery's steadily iterating pace was steady in the fuel vehicle era, but in the new energy era, it is slow.

There is another reality shortcoming: brand constraints. Relying on cost-performance to start is Chery's advantage, but also its biggest burden. In the minds of most consumers, Chery is "affordable family car", not associated with words like high-end, value, and premium. 20 million accumulated users are mostly affordable users, difficult to form brand premium. Without brand height, one can only be trapped in the low-end price band to fight.

What is harder to change than products and markets is organizational inertia. A play style successful for twenty years, enterprises will definitely form mental rigidity. Fuel vehicle experience, old project processes, sales-only evaluation methods, will be unconsciously applied to new energy and new models. This is the terrible thing about path dependency—experience that once led you to the peak will become walls trapping you. Zhang Guozhong said "some need minor changes, some need restructuring", the changes are not only cars, but the entire enterprise's thinking and system.

After Saying Goodbye to Shadows, Where Will Chery Go?

Restructuring has begun. The most intuitive signal is that in the past few years Chery did not shy away from holding many launches, 189 events were held in 2025, but since this year, media visits to Wuhu decreased by more than half.

Another manifestation is in sales. In the first half of the year, Chery issued 150,000 fewer cars domestically, actively squeezing out "water", significantly reducing dealer inventory, domestic retail about 412,800 units, down 36.4% year-on-year. This is growing pains, and also a necessary cost to repair the terminal price system. And overseas, 200,000 units monthly sales are becoming normal, July overseas sales share has quietly reached 70%.

Changes have begun to happen. On September 1, August sales data showed Chery single-month sales 280,128 units, among which exports 196,984 units, domestic sales 83,144 units. Compared to July exports first breaking 200,000 units, domestic sales about 74,000 units data, August domestic sales month-on-month rose by nearly 10,000 units. After continuous contraction for several months, the domestic core base showed signs of recovery.

Between one down and one up, Chery is completing a switch in development logic. In Zhang Guozhong's words, "No internal stability, no external strength", Chery is no longer solely reliant on the domestic fuel vehicle market, but has constructed two new growth curves: "Overseas + New Energy".

Internally, the brand matrix enters an integration period. Chery recently adjusted the reporting lines of the Exeed business unit, strategic center turning comprehensively to overseas; the Zhiji brand turned from pursuing single product explosion to "long-distance thinking". Although multi-brand same source overlap problems are not fundamentally resolved, actions to streamline SKUs and clarify positioning have been initiated. In new energy, gross margin in the first half of the year rose significantly from 5.2% to 12.8%, saying goodbye to low price volume, entering scale profitability cycle.

The listing path of the Fengyun T7 happens to illustrate this new logic. One car debuted first at Milan Design Week, then launched in South Africa and Thailand, accepted overseas consumer and market testing, refined and then returned to domestic—"Global cars, can't be rushed". Not competing with the industry on new speed, using product strength verified by the global market to speak.

Auto Times says:

The catch-up racing among Chinese brands continues to add intensity. BYD overseas sales in July reached 179,800 units, Geely raised export target to 920,000 units and impact million scale, Great Wall set 600,000 units target. Chery's first-mover advantage is being diluted, window of opportunity is narrowing.

Wanting to cross the cycle, Chery's path is already clear: Globalization shifting from "sell more" to "earn steady"; open both-way technical feedback channels between domestic and overseas; domestic market no longer blindly rush wholesale volume, focusing on product value competition. The core task of the domestic market is to become a test bed for intelligent new technologies, complete verification before feeding back global models.

For Chery, crossing 20 million units is not the destination, but a watershed. The braking Yin Tongyue stepped on is not admitting defeat, but changing lanes. Zhang Guozhong said "Cannot live in past success", not denying the past, but seeing the future clearly.

When noise subsides, this enterprise that walked out of Wuhu small huts, still uses near-stubborn simplicity ways, to walk a farther road.

On August 26, the pure electric SUV focusing on global quality — Chery Fengyun T7 officially launched. The new car offers 3 versions in total, official guide price range 97,900-118,900 yuan, priority exchange price as low as 94,900-115,900 yuan. The new car performs excellently in four major aspects: range, appearance, safety, and intelligence, relying on six hardcore product strengths to bring a reliable and peace-of-mind new choice for pure electric travel for family users.

At this launch conference, musician Wu Kequn attended as the "Happiness Experience Officer". He and Chery Automobile Executive Vice President Li Xueyong exchanged around "Steady Happiness", sharing driving experiences, and highly recognized Chery's "Slow work builds good cars" manufacturing philosophy. The two jointly launched the "Happiness Co-creation Plan" on site, calling on everyone to discover the small beauties in life.

Fengyun T7 belongs to native global models, first completing strict tests in many places around the world, then selling to the domestic market, truly achieving delivery upon launch.

Chery ranked first in exports of Chinese brand passenger cars for 23 consecutive years, global users over 20 million, products sold to over 130 countries. Fengyun T7 overseas similar model Lepas L6 has already launched in South Africa, Thailand, subsequent Indonesia, EU, UK, Malaysia and other markets will be gradually on sale.

Before launching in domestic, this car has already run through global complex road conditions, Brazil speed bumps, Mexico gravel roads, Germany highway curves, South Africa unpaved muddy roads all experienced. Vehicle can adapt to -40°C to 55°C huge temperature difference, adapts to 95% of global roads. Launch conference site synchronized delivery new cars, many foreigners living in China became first batch of owners.

Implement "Steady Happiness" into daily driving

Happiness Experience Officer Wu Kequn talked at the conference, now ordinary people's pursued steady happiness, not necessarily grand goals, more hidden in daily life: weekend go camping anytime, commute driving no anxiety, family outing no worry range. Fengyun T7 reflects this happiness in driving experience.

Vehicle CLTC range 600 km, actual can reach 681.6 km, achieve "reverse false labeling"; 30%-80% fast charge only needs 20 minutes, drink a cup of coffee can recharge power run 300 km.

Equipped with highway piloting assistance, 300+ scenarios automatic parking, narrow parking spots can also easily park well. 80% high strength steel body, 9 airbags, multi-layer protective battery pack, through million km global actual test, city commute, family long travel enough peace of mind.

Reject configuration shrinkage, enjoy level-up strength at hundred-thousand price

Many 100,000-level pure electric SUVs in the market have shortcomings: low config range shrinkage, safety config reduction, high-level intelligence requires extra money, chassis battery test insufficient. Fengyun T7 relies on six major redundancy advantages, gives high-end config to 100,000-level users, achieves 100,000 price, close to 200,000-level product strength.

As more instant-made cars, deadline cars, double-standard cars flood the market, people worry most about counterfeits driving out genuine products. Fortunately, some automakers have already used practical actions to stop this from happening.

Recently, Chery Fengyun T7 was officially launched in China. The earliest trade-in price starts at only 94,900 yuan. The reason for adding 'domestic' specifically is that one month ago it was already launched first in Thailand and South Africa. This domestic launch is the third stop. Following closely, it will be launched successively in Spain, Italy, UK, Greece, Australia, and Indonesia later this year.

New car launch, overseas first, domestic consumers are not unfamiliar with this. After all, in the fuel car era, traditional joint ventures won for decades relying on this introduction model. But now, domestic brands also putting new car premieres abroad is truly rare - of course, this also confirms from the side that Fengyun T7 has the look of a global car.

What does a global car mean to consumers? In simple terms, a global car must be global quality. In the design phase, it must follow global mainstream market regulation systems, especially the latest 2026 E-NCAP standards. It must undergo verification under various typical extreme road conditions and usage environments globally, and meet global user needs in terms of exterior/interior styling, powertrain, chassis tuning, etc.

So, did Fengyun T7 achieve this?

Global Car: Redundancy First

Must clarify, Fengyun T7 is not Chery's first global car. As the leader in domestic brand passenger car exports for 23 consecutive years, Chery products are sold in 130+ countries and regions, having won 7 million overseas users. For Chery, global cars are basic operations.

The difference of Fengyun T7 lies in that it is a global quality pure electric SUV built over 3 years by Chery with new generation global car standards. According to Li Xueyong, Executive Vice President of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd., Fengyun T7 'is not developed domestically and then modified for export, but anchored globally from the start of R&D'.

The weight of 'Anchored Globally', everyone can understand looking at a set of data - targeting 15 typical country scenarios, the R&D team surveyed 5,000+ global users, incorporated different market needs in advance into Fengyun T7 product definition, pre-researched global regulations two years in advance, benchmarked 2026 version E-NCAP standards for design, finally collaboratively created by over 100 designers from 8 global R&D design centers.

So busy, then how is the product power of this Fengyun T7? Let's look at a detail first.

Taking load weight redundancy as an example, Fengyun T7 load weight is 423 kg (curb weight 1,780 kg, maximum gross mass 2,203 kg), which belongs to mainstream level in same-class pure electric SUVs. What truly makes people sigh is its redundancy design. Taking the 225/60 R18 100H tires equipped in the Smart Enjoyment Edition as an example, load index 100, single wheel load weight limit 800 kg, load weight redundancy up to 45%, enough to match international big brands - Pure electric SUVs with similar dimensions, BMW iX1, its two-wheel drive version maximum gross mass 2,435 kg, tire specification 225/65 R18 102Y, load index 102, single wheel load weight limit 850 kg, load weight redundancy 39.6%.

In fact, 'redundancy' is exactly Fengyun T7's biggest confidence, which is reflected in collision safety, battery, range, energy saving, handling and many other aspects.

Speaking of collision safety, Fengyun T7 was developed according to 2026 E-NCAP five-star safety standards from the beginning of development, adopting nine horizontal five vertical cage body structure, high strength steel ratio 80% (among which hot formed steel ratio 18.84%), same class first release double frame subframe + Pack anti-collision beam, and same class unique Shotgun structure and same class most 9 airbags, building a solid passive safety defense line;

Speaking of battery safety, Fengyun T7 equipped Rhino Battery adopts 6D lock structure, Pack whole package 31 layers protection, three horizontal one vertical structure design. Water resistance ability IP68 level, 200 kN side edge anti-squeeze performance is 2 times national standard, meanwhile passes 1,008 hours salt spray test, 105 seconds fire test;

Speaking of range, Fengyun T7 all series standard 65.05 kWh battery pack, CLTC range 600 km, entry level enjoy long range, and has already had media actual test run 681.6 km, this battery cycle life 2,500 times, service life as long as 15 years;

Speaking of energy saving, to solve the pain point of low temperature range, Fengyun T7 all series standard dual source wide temperature range 'Heat Pump AC + High Voltage PTC' system and AGS intelligent front grille, combined with 14 items low wind resistance design, makes range under minus 10°C environment improve 30%;

Speaking of handling, 178 kW high performance motor, 50.8:49.2 axle load ratio, four-wheel independent suspension, 70 mm large bushing and 26 mm large diameter front stabilizer bar this set of hardware combination, brings 180 km/h max speed and 80 km/h deer test results, plus 500 mm wading depth, can cope with various complex road conditions, chassis, power has sufficient performance margin, giving users controllable, confident driving feeling.

No exaggeration, with 'redundancy' as the base, Fengyun T7 has sufficient confidence to face any same-class opponent globally.

Global Car: Kung Fu is All in 'Slow'

Such a powerful car, why did Chery spend three years refining it before launching? A year earlier, it would have likely set off a T7 craze. You know, this is only 24 hours after launch, its domestic orders have already reached 23,188 units, momentum is not weaker than some traffic-causing internet celebrity brands.

In recent years, domestic new car R&D cycles have become shorter and shorter, cases where a new model comes out in 10-plus months are common, to the point where there is a saying of hundreds of new cars in the first half of this year, even some joint venture brands can't hold on, reducing the rhythm of iterating a new car every about 5 years or so again and again, what 'instant-made cars', 'deadline cars', 'double-standard cars' wind is nearly spreading. Of course, problems that followed, everyone has already seen, relevant departments have also acted, the goal is to correct, let China's auto return to the right track - right on the day after Fengyun T7 launch, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology joint Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Ecology and Environment, State Administration for Market Regulation and other departments launched a special action on automotive production consistency and quality improvement.

Obviously, the arrival of Fengyun T7 not only proves Chery's bottom line adherence in car building, but also shows its outstanding global vision - using double the time of others to develop a new car, this tests a car manufacturer's determination. However, to build a global car, really cannot be faster? The answer is very affirmative, just like Li Xueyong's line in the VCR advertisement: Global car, cannot be fast at all.

Taking the whole vehicle verification link as an example, the energy consumed is far beyond your imagination.

According to Chery whole vehicle verification chief engineer Antonio, Fengyun T7 successively went through 7 global extreme environment verifications, covering -40°C to 55°C global extreme temperature domain.

Close like Southeast Asia, verify 500 mm off-road wading ability in rainy season, verify filter odor residue control in Indonesia high humidity environment, also went to Middle East, use high temperature sun exposure verify vehicle in-play equipment 40°C overheat protection; Far like Siberia, in low temperature snow rain environment wiper life reinforcement verification, more rushed to Nordic, in extreme night environment verify vehicle interior lighting and charging backlight optimization; Not only so, Fengyun T7 verification track also includes the other end of the Earth Americas continent, such as Mexico cobblestone road do durability noise verification, Brazil gravel road verify battery plug-in multiple protection etc.

As for the whole vehicle durability verification link, Chery even invested 81 exclusive durability cars synchronized road test, whole vehicle cumulative test mileage over 6 million km, among which durability special actual test 1.45 million km, covering EU, Australia/New Zealand, Middle East, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil and other places over 100 kinds of extreme road conditions environments, far exceeding national standard regulations.

If verification is aiming for global regulations, then for product power improvement polishing, Chery spent even more meticulous effort in this aspect. To meet the driving habits of users in different countries, Fengyun T7 conducted over 80 local habit adaptations, such as Thailand right-hand drive preference heavy hand feel, steering force tuning increased 1 level; Indonesia bumpy road users lack sense of security, steering hand feel increased while optimize return quality; Turkey users prefer hard switches, keep high frequency function physical buttons; Europe likes parking in front of head, adopt 70 cm auto display front camera; Even, targeting certain robbery high-risk market car use, specifically design single door unlock to improve sense of security...

A detail, behind Fengyun T7 deer test 80 km/h results, Chery foreign chassis expert Marco (once in global many known car companies focus chassis tuning work) spent a full half year on this car.

Slow work makes good car, Fengyun T7 fully interpreted this point with three years time.

Driving Value View

3 years R&D cycle, 6 million km global road test, 81 durability test cars, minimum 94,900 yuan entry threshold... When 'Fast breaks all' becomes the current mainstream, when price and value open the rollbook in sync, still dare to choose this more time-consuming and laborious high-cost mode, enough to see a car manufacturer's long-term vision. And topped with 'New Generation Global Car' halo, Fengyun T7 has already indisputably become a new sample of China R&D manufacturing 'Native Global Car', at the same time, domestic launch only 24 hours orders refreshed to 23,188 units bold record also proves, car good or not, truly car-savvy consumers are watching with their eyes.

Bad currency, ultimately still failed to drive out good currency, in this aspect, Fengyun T7 made a table for all China brands.

Of course, this is just a beginning, the real test is still overseas, after all that is the big stage where Fengyun T7 needs to prove China auto, especially like Europe such developed market. But fortunately, previously in Milan Design Week, Lepas L6 (Fengyun T7 homologous model) has already gained huge attention, and more than a month ago Thailand and South Africa market pre-launch also positive response, for next coming to land in Spain, Italy, UK, Greece, Australia and other places accumulated overseas market reputation.

Leading China brand cars overseas for 23 years, with Fengyun T7 joining, Chery will further consolidate its overseas market leader status.

On August 26, the Fengyun T7 launch event themed "Steady Happiness" was held as scheduled, and this native global quality pure electric SUV officially arrived before consumers. The new car offers three 600km range versions, with a launch recommended price of 97,900 to 118,900 Yuan, and a priority trade-in price of 94,900 to 115,900 Yuan. Delivery begins immediately upon launch.

Famous musician Wu Kequn arrived at the launch event as the Happiness Experience Officer. Alongside Chery Automobile Executive Vice President Li Xueyong, they held a deep conversation around "Steady Happiness", sharing their understanding of family出行。Both parties agreed on the philosophy of building good cars through slow craftsmanship. The event launched the Fengyun T7 "Happiness Co-creation Plan", calling on everyone to capture the fragmented moments of happiness in daily life, and to see how a family pure electric SUV can transform abstract happiness into tangible product strength.

Today, the new energy vehicle market competition is intensifying. Many models pursue rapid iteration and rapid updates, adhering to a manufacturing logic of "fast is invincible". Fengyun T7 took a different path, upholding the long-termist idea of "A global car cannot be rushed". It did not take shortcuts such as developing domestically and simply modifying for overseas export. From the R&D stage, product definition was made for 210 countries and regions globally. Global regulation research was conducted two years in advance. The vehicle development was benchmarked against the 2026 version E-NCAP five-star safety standards. More than 5,000 global user surveys were completed, visiting 15 typical countries, incorporating road conditions, climate, and usage habits of different regions into product definition. A three-year R&D cycle saw 10 top global design centers and over 100 designers work together. Over 5,000 users participated in co-creation. 81 endurance test cars went to all corners of the world. The whole vehicle completed over 6 million km of tests in total. Specific endurance verification mileage reached 1.45 million km, spanning seven major categories of extreme environments including high heat, high cold, high humidity, and high salinity. It traveled across the vast majority of typical global road conditions including high speed bumps in Brazil, cobblestone roads in Mexico, high-speed sharp curves in Germany, and unpaved muddy roads in South Africa. Real-world road tests were completed under extreme working conditions such as Nordic extreme cold, Middle East scorching sun, and Southeast Asian rainy season waterlogging. All risks such as abnormal noise, reliability, and environmental adaptability were closed-loop resolved in the R&D verification stage.

Chery has the accumulation of being number one in the export of Chinese brand passenger cars for 23 consecutive years, with a global user scale exceeding 20 million. Products are sold in more than 130 overseas markets. Fengyun T7's same-source model Lepas L6 has landed in South Africa and Thailand, and will subsequently land in Indonesia, EU, Australia/New Zealand, UK, Israel, Malaysia, etc., and gained overseas praise at Milan Design Week. Before officially launching domestically, Fengyun T7 has already left road test footprints on all continents, receiving attention and affirmation from overseas media including the Associated Press. Overseas R&D engineers stood at the launch event, and the first batch of owners included foreign users living in China. The ceremony of delivery upon launch also proves that this global car, after completing global tests, has returned solidly to the domestic market to serve domestic family users.

In terms of range, which users care about most, Fengyun T7 rejects the common industry trick of range differentiation. All series are standard-equipped with 65.05kWh Rhino Battery. CLTC range reaches 600km. Tested range reaches 681.6km, achieving reverse false labeling (real range exceeds claimed). 30%-80% fast charging takes only 20 minutes. In the time for a cup of coffee, 300km of range can be replenished. Battery cycle life exceeds 2,500 times. During the whole vehicle usage cycle, battery replacement is basically not needed. All series are standard-equipped with dual-source wide temperature range heat pump air conditioning plus high-voltage PTC combination. Paired with AGS smart air intake grille, it works stably in a super large temperature range interval from -30°C to 55°C. Under -10°C environment, range can be increased by 15%-20%. Whether in the cold winter of the North or the scorching summer of the South, it can suppress large range fluctuations, truly achieving long-distance driving in big cities and less charging in small cities, thoroughly alleviating range anxiety. The 12-in-1 Kunpeng electric drive with 178kW peak power has a comprehensive efficiency of up to 90.8%, balancing power output and energy consumption performance. Maximum speed can reach 180km/h.

In the 100,000-level pure electric SUV market, many models will make trade-offs on safety, range, and intelligence. Fengyun T7, with its native global car foundation, breaks industry conventions with six major redundancies. Long range, high safety, high specification intelligent hardware are directly given to entry-level users. Achieving 100,000-level pricing, 200,000-level product value. It does not pursue flashy gimmicks, but returns to the most朴素 needs of family travel. Putting reliability, peace of mind, and comfort into every detail. When many new cars are still competing on paper parameters, Fengyun T7 has already passed the real road test of millions of kilometers globally. Using slow craftsmanship to polish a pure electric SUV for global families.

August 26, 2026, Shanghai——If you only look at the price, the 97,900 RMB starting price Fengyun T7 seems to be just another "newcomer"卷入 the 100,000-level pure electric SUV market. But if you look at its spec sheet, you'll find things are far from simple.

In an era where even many 200,000-level models cut range, reduce safety, and downgrade suspension, Fengyun T7's play is "Six Major Redundancies"—Crash safety redundancy, battery safety redundancy, range equality redundancy, full-domain energy saving redundancy, handling performance redundancy, whole-vehicle validation redundancy.

This is not a simple configuration overlay, but an underlying architecture advantage based on "Global Car" development logic.

I. "Global Standard" Dimensionality Strike: Slow Craftsmanship to Build Fast Cars

During the press conference, Chery Automobile Executive Vice President Li Xueyong and "Happiness Experience Officer" Wu Kequn mentioned a keyword during their dialogue: Slow Craftsmanship Builds Good Cars. In the current industry crazily competing on "launch speed", Fengyun T7 spent 3 years on the R&D cycle, traveled through 21 countries globally, and completed 1.45 million km durability verification.

Chery's confidence lies in: Fengyun T7 is not a domestic exclusive, its homologous models are already on the market in South Africa and Thailand, and it will next enter EU, Australia/New Zealand and other high-end markets. It was developed in advance benchmarked against 2026 E-NCAP 5-Star Safety Standards, which means it reserved enough "safety margin" in body rigidity, battery protection, and intelligent driver assistance.

II. 100,000-Level Price, 200,000-Level "Redundancy"

After the conference, I carefully studied the actual vehicle on-site. Fengyun T7's core competitiveness lies in breaking the unwritten rule of "entry-level shrinkage" in this vehicle class:

Range not cut: All trims standard with 65.05kWh Rhino Battery, CLTC range 600km. On-site engineers revealed, real test ran 681.6km, standard "actual performance exceeding claim".

Safety no subtraction: 80% high-strength steel body, 9 airbags unique in class (including far-side airbags), IP68 waterproof battery pack. These configurations usually exclusive to top trims on joint venture brands, are standard on all trims of Fengyun T7.

Smart tech no base version: All trims standard with 8775 Cockpit-Driving Integrated Chip, supports highway pilot and 300+ scenario automatic parking.

III. Not just a travel tool, but also "Steady Happiness"

Wu Kequn shared his understanding of "Steady Happiness" on-site — not aggressive parameters, but that peace of mind within reach during daily driving: it's the child sleeping soundly on the pure flat rear floor, it's the calmness brought by 500mm wading depth during rainy season, it's the heat pump AC that can still boost range by 30% at -10°C.

This marketing approach of converting hardcore tech into emotional resonance, makes Fengyun T7 not only a high cost-performance SUV, but also a "Warm-hearted Car" that understands Chinese family needs.

Conclusion:

When most automakers are still making excuses for "price cuts and spec reductions", Chery proved with Fengyun T7: Global R&D systems and economies of scale can indeed drive down the price of high-end configurations. If you hold a 100,000 - 120,000 budget, this car is worth waiting for compared to those competitors still on the road — because its "redundancy" is exactly your "calmness" in using the car for the next few years.

The family all-electric SUV market adds another new player. On August 26, Chery Fengyun T7 officially launched. This all-electric SUV featuring global quality, with "steady happiness" as the product core, offers three configuration versions for ordinary families pursuing pragmatic and safe travel. The new car launch guide price is 97,900 - 118,900 Yuan, with an advance trade-in price of 94,900 - 115,900 Yuan.

At the press conference, musician Wu Kequn attended as the "Happiness Experience Officer", exchanging views with Chery Auto Executive Vice President Li Xueyong around "steady happiness". Combining family travel scenarios, they shared driving insights. Both parties jointly launched the "Happiness Co-creation Plan", inviting users to record happiness moments in life.

Facing the rapidly iterating market environment, Fengyun T7 adheres to the long-termist concept of "patience builds good cars". It belongs to a native global model, not simply a domestic model modified for export. Vehicle R&D benchmarks the 2026 version E-NCAP safety standards, relying on the global 1+7+N R&D system, completing 1.45 million km durability verification. It underwent extreme environment tests including high heat, extreme cold, and high humidity, adapting to diverse global road conditions and climates. The homologous model Lepas L6 has been released in markets such as South Africa and Thailand, and will subsequently land in regions such as the EU and Australia-New Zealand.

At the product level, Fengyun T7 is built around four core values: Super Performance, Global Beauty, Safer, and Smart Wisdom, simultaneously possessing six major redundant product strengths. All series are standard with 65.05kWh Rhino Battery, CLTC range 600km. 30%-80% fast charging takes only 20 minutes, achieving range equality to avoid the industry's common problem of range reduction in entry-level versions. The body high-strength steel proportion reaches 80%, equipped with 9 airbags. The battery has a multi-layer protection structure, leaving sufficient redundancy in collision and battery safety. In terms of intelligence, it is equipped with an 8775 cockpit-integrated chip, combining Lingxi Smart Cockpit 2.0 and Doubao Large Model. It supports 300+ full-scenario automatic parking, highway pilot assistance, etc., balancing comfort and convenience for family travel.

In the 100,000-level all-electric segment, many consumers care about price and also value the vehicle's safety, range, and long-term reliability. Based on Chery's years of overseas market accumulation, Fengyun T7 brings global R&D verification results to the domestic market. We hope to provide practical all-electric travel options for the vast family users using balanced product performance and substantial purchasing policies, guarding every bit of security and peace of mind during daily commuting and weekend trips.

On August 26 at the Yanqi Lake launch event, Chery introduced the Fengyun T7, an electric SUV designed for families. The event also invited Wu Kequn as an experience ambassador to discuss ordinary people's aspirations for safe and stable travel. The new car comes in 3 trims, with an official guide price of 97,900-118,900. With the priority trade-in policy, the entry-level price can reach 94,900. Additionally, 9 layers of purchase rights are provided. At this price point in the 100,000-level pure electric market, the competitiveness is worth pondering.

An interesting point is that this car was not made for the domestic market first before going overseas. Its homologous model has already been launched in South Africa and Thailand, and even appeared at Milan Design Week. It was tested by overseas markets first, before returning to the domestic market for ordinary families.

The R&D phase referenced vehicle usage regulations and road conditions in 210 countries and regions. The whole vehicle's cumulative test mileage exceeded 6 million kilometers, with 1.45 million kilometers dedicated to durability testing alone. From Brazilian speed bumps and Mexican cobblestone roads to German highway curves and South African unpaved rough roads, extreme temperatures from -40°C to 55°C were all fully tested. This means after trialing the majority of typical road conditions globally, it then serves domestic users. This verification intensity is uncommon in 100,000-level models.

Focusing on actual household usage scenarios, I broke down its product capabilities into range, space, design, craftsmanship, safety, and intelligence, which are the dimensions most concerned when buying a car.

Regarding range, Fengyun T7 did not play the trick of different batteries for the same car. All trims are unified with a 65.05 kWh Rhinoceros battery, CLTC range of 600 km. Media actual tests even reached 681.6 km, which is rare where actual tests exceed official ratings. Battery cycle life can reach 2,500 times, usable for 15 years in normal household use. Fast charging from 30% to 80% takes only 20 minutes. For northern users concerned about winter range degradation, it features a dual-source solution of heat pump AC plus high-voltage PTC. Combined with AGS intake grilles, multiple low drag optimizations, in a -10°C environment, range can improve by 30%. The 12-in-1 Kunpeng Electric Drive, with 178 kW peak power, achieves a balance between power and energy consumption.

The wheelbase is 2700 mm, body dimensions 4570x1852x1694 mm, interior space utilization rate is 84%, rear legroom 911 mm with a pure flat floor, three people sitting won't be too cramped. 9-layer cloud-feel seats, hardness tuning leans towards household comfort. Standard trunk 450 L, plus a 99 L recessed storage compartment; folding the second row expands it to 1550 L. 32 storage spaces in the whole car, daily grocery shopping and camping equipment can all fit. Household loading capacity is sufficient.

The exterior follows an Oriental Wind-inspired design, drag coefficient reaches 0.286 Cd. There are 6 paint colors available. Blazing Orange uses an 8-layer spray process usually seen on luxury cars, with strong layering under changing light. The cockpit features a wraparound layout, diamond stitching, water ripple details, floating speakers. The interior has two color schemes. The texture quality belongs to the mid-to-upper level in this price range.

For family car buying, safety is a key point that cannot be bypassed. The high-strength steel ratio in the body is 80%, hot-formed steel 18.84%. Double-frame subframe, Pack crash beam, and Shotgun structure disperse collision impact forces. The whole car is equipped with 9 airbags. Battery protection is also invested heavily. 31-layer chainmail armor protection structure, IP68 waterproof grade standard far exceeds national standards, crush, fire, and salt spray were all subjected to over-spec testing. The chassis was tuned by an overseas team, 50.8:49.2 axle load ratio approaching a 50/50 split, combined with large-sized bushings and wire control braking, ensuring stability and braking confidence while driving.

Intelligence is a major highlight of this car. Equipped with a 4nm 8775 Cabin and Driving Integrated Chip, NPU computing power 72 TOPS, system latency as low as 80 ms. Hardware provides the foundation for smooth car system performance. 15.6-inch 2.5K anti-glare screen, brightness 1000 nit. CarPlay, HiCar, and other phone connectivity are all supported. After integrating with Doubao Large Model, voice interaction becomes more natural. There are also family-fit scene modes like Siesta, Baby, and Sentry. Falcon 500 Assisted Driving, 22 sensors, Highway Pilot, 100-meter trajectory reversing, and over 300 automatic parking scenarios. City commuting and parking can relieve significant burden.

In summary, there are many options for 100,000-level pure electric SUVs, but most make trade-offs in range, safety, and configuration. The feeling Fengyun T7 gives me is that it leans more towards pragmatic family users, avoiding flashy gimmicks. After testing on large amounts of global road conditions, the range across all trims is not compromised, and safety configurations are very sufficient. Combined with the 94,900 starting trade-in price, for consumers pursuing stability and valuing household practicality, it is an option that cannot be ignored.

Recently, Chery Fengyun T7 officially went on sale. This car comes in three trim levels, with a manufacturer's suggested retail price ranging from 97,900 Yuan to 118,900 Yuan. Including trade-in subsidies, the advance trade-in price starts from 94,900 Yuan. In the most competitive market for 100,000 Yuan class pure electric SUVs, Fengyun T7's pricing strategy is clear: no tricks, directly bringing global standard products to this price segment.

To be honest, many 100,000 Yuan class pure electric models on the market nowadays use the tactic of differentiating between entry and high specs in terms of range, safety configuration, or intelligence to keep prices down. Entry-level versions often have reduced batteries and discounted range. To get long range and complete safety configurations, you need to pay extra for high specs.

Fengyun T7 goes against the grain this time, standardizing the 65.05kWh Rhino Battery across all trims. CLTC pure electric range is uniformly 600 km, with real-world tests reaching up to 681.6 km. This reverse marketing practice means tangible peace of mind for ordinary users who commute dozens of kilometers daily and want to take family trips to suburbs on weekends. More importantly, fast charging from 30% to 80% takes only 20 minutes. In the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee, nearly 300 km of range can be replenished, so daily use basically won't have range anxiety.

In terms of safety, Fengyun T7 has put in substantial hard work. The body uses a nine-horizontal five-vertical cage structure, with high-strength steel accounting for 80%, and hot-formed steel accounting for 18.84%. More noteworthy is that it was developed according to the 2026 version of E-NCAP five-star safety standards, equipped with the most 9 airbags in its class, including 48L dual-chamber far-end airbags. Battery safety is also not compromised: 6D Lock Armor 31-layer protection structure, IP68 waterproofing, 200kN side crush resistance. These parameters might be abstract for ordinary consumers, but simply put: in case of collision, wading, or extreme weather, the battery pack is unlikely to malfunction. Chery also gave a battery powertrain safety fallback commitment. If thermal runaway damage occurs due to battery self-reason, directly compensate with a brand-new car of the same model. This kind of commitment is rare in the industry, indicating the manufacturer has enough confidence in its own product.

Intelligent configuration is another highlight. Fengyun T7 is equipped with the class-first 8775 cockpit-integrated chip, adopting 4nm process, computing power reaches 72TOPS. This chip drives both smart cockpit and assisted driving simultaneously, system response latency controlled within 80 milliseconds. In actual experience, it supports more than 300 scenarios of fully automatic parking, including multi-floor intelligent parking and 100-meter track reversing, which is very practical for those who find parking difficult. Highway pilot assist function can predict lane changes and ramp merging 500 meters in advance, reducing fatigue on long drives. The 15.6-inch 2.5K HD large screen, supporting CarPlay and HiCar full brand phone interconnection, these configurations in 100,000 Yuan class models are indeed full of sincerity.

Of course, Fengyun T7's biggest differentiation tag is still global vehicle. Chery has ranked first in Chinese brand passenger car exports for 23 consecutive years, with global users exceeding 20 million. Fengyun T7 is not simply a domestic special vehicle with a label change for overseas export, but from the beginning of R&D, it synchronously adapts to vehicle usage needs in 210 countries and regions worldwide. It underwent real-vehicle verification in 21 countries globally, cumulative test mileage exceeding 6 million km, including 1.45 million km for durability special tests, covering 100+ kinds of extreme road conditions from Nordic extreme cold to Middle East high heat, from Southeast Asia high humidity to German highways. Homologous model Lepas L6 is already on the market in South Africa and Thailand, next entering EU, Australia/New Zealand and other markets. This path of running around the globe before returning to the domestic market launch allows Fengyun T7 to accumulate a lot of advance experience in chassis tuning, environmental adaptability, and regulatory compliance.

From actual usage scenarios, Fengyun T7's product definition is very close to daily needs of Chinese families. 84% cabin occupancy rate, rear pure flat floor, 1955mm by 1310mm pure flat bed mode, bringing kids out or camping rest are relatively practical. 450 liters trunk regular volume, folded down can expand to 1,550 liters, loading strollers, camping equipment or moving large items is enough. 9-layer cloud-touch comfortable seats support 3-level heating and ventilation, winter not freeze butt, summer not stuffy sweat. These details look less dazzling than range, acceleration, but precisely is what family users can perceive every time they get on the car.

Regarding launch benefits, Fengyun T7 also brought true sincerity in real money. In addition to 3,000 Yuan trade-in subsidy and 2-year 0% interest for 60,000 or 5-year 3-year interest-free for 100,000 financial plans, there is also value 6,000 Yuan personal car color limited time free, whole vehicle lifetime warranty (including battery), 666 Yuan purchase value 3,999 Yuan lifetime basic maintenance package. For consumers with budget over 100,000, wanting to buy a reliable pure electric SUV, these benefits further lower the threshold for buying and using cars.

Overall, Fengyun T7's product logic is very clear: In the 100,000 Yuan price segment, do not make just-enough products, but bring long range, high safety, true intelligence and global verified quality all at once. It may not be the most explosive parameters model, but wins in balance and down-to-earth. If you are a family user who values practicality, hope less hassle, pursue steady driving experience, Fengyun T7 is worth going to the store to actually see, try. After all, in this price segment, bringing global standards and 600 km range to all trims as standard, currently really not many.

August 26, 2026, Chery Fengyun T7 officially launched, official guide price 97,900-118,900 RMB, early trade-in price starts from 94,900 RMB, immediate delivery upon launch. Amidst the fierce competition in the domestic new energy market characterized by "fast iterations, spec stacking, and downgraded entry-level", the Fengyun T7 walks a path distinct from othersa common route: Native global vehicle, validate overseas first, then return to the domestic market, with a three-year R&D cycle and rigorous global verification, focusing on the real usage demands of household family users, attempting to reshape the value benchmark for the 100,000-level pure electric SUV.

Reverse overseas expansion: A home electric SUV built for the world

Currently, the logic for the vast majority of Chinese new energy models is: complete R&D and launch domestically, verify in the market, then make local modifications to adapt to overseas regulations to achieve exports. The Fengyun T7 chooses a reverse path: the homologous model Lepas L6 has already launched in South Africa and Thailand, followed by the EU, UK, Australia, Israel and other markets, to withstand global market testing before being sold to domestic consumers.

Created based on Chery's global 1+7+N R&D system, the Fengyun T7 has an R&D cycle of up to three years, benchmarked against the 2026 Version E-NCAP 5-Star Safety Standard, adapted for driving environments in 210 countries and regions. The R&D phase invested in 81 durability test vehicles, cumulatively completed 1.45 million km durability verification and 6 million km global road tests, covering 21 countries, encompassing most typical road conditions globally; at the same time, over 5,000 domestic and international users were invited to participate in co-creation, balancing aesthetics and usage habits of different regions.

Chery's proposal "Global Vehicle, No Rushing Allowed" is exactly the product DNA of the Fengyun T7. It does not pursue rapid updates, but places safety, durability, and reliability as the top priority, directly transferring overseas rigorous standards to the domestic version, which is also the core differentiation point distinguishing it from many models at the same price point.

Product Capability Analysis: Range Equality, Giving Core Hardware to Every User

The Fengyun T7 is positioned as a compact pure electric SUV, body dimensions 4570×1852×1694mm, wheelbase 2700mm, 5-seat layout, body dimensions balance easy driving and parking in the city, while meeting the daily travel space needs of a 3-person family.

Three-Electric System: All Models 600km, Refuse Range Shrinkage on Entry-Level

A common phenomenon in the 100,000-level pure electric market: entry-level versions reduce battery capacity, lower range, using low prices to attract users, while long-range versions require significant price hikes. The Fengyun T7 directly achieves range equality: all three configurations are equipped with the 65.05kWh Rhino LFP battery, CLTC range unified at 600km, energy consumption 12.9 kWh/100km, 30%-80% DC fast charging only takes 20 minutes, supports 6.6kW V2L (Vehicle to Load), meeting camping outdoor scenarios.

Powertrain uses the 12-in-1 Kunpeng Super Electric Drive, front single motor max power 178kW, peak torque 275 N·m, max speed 180 km/h, balancing city commuting and highway overtaking capabilities. Chassis is Front MacPherson + Rear Multi-link independent suspension, tuned by an overseas chassis expert team, 560mm low center of gravity design, bringing good driving stability; the vehicle has 500mm wading depth, battery pack has complete liquid cooling, PTC pre-heating, wide temperature range heat pump AC, balancing range performance in low-temperature environments.

Exterior and Cabin: Family-Oriented, Practical Configurations Not Stingy

Fengyun T7 adopts the Oriental Wind Aesthetics Family Design, closed front grille paired with L-shaped daytime running lights, overall vehicle lines are simple and steady, balancing global market aesthetics. All models standard equip AGS Intelligent Active Grille Shutter, 14 items of low drag optimization for the whole car, effectively reducing wind noise and improving range performance; full-width taillights, all models standard equip power tailgate, which is very practical configuration at this price point.

Market Landscape: 100,000-Level Pure Electric SUV, A Pragmatic Challenger

Current 100,000-120,000 RMB pure electric SUV track competition is hyper-competitive, with products from Aion, Leapmotor, MG and others competing on the same stage. Users in this niche market are mostly buying their first family car, demands are very realistic: stable range, reliable safety, sufficient configurations, low ownership costs, not interested in flashy gimmick configurations.

Fengyun T7 and Fengyun T9L positioning form differentiation: T7 is a city home pure electric SUV, suitable for daily commuting, families with convenient charging conditions; T9L is a PHEV large 5-seater, suitable for frequent long-distance travel, users without fixed charging conditions, complementing each other, perfecting the Fengyun brand's home new energy matrix.

The launch of Fengyun T7 represents a product strategy of the Chery Fengyun brand: not mindlessly stacking parameters, not doing trimmed-down entry-level, implementing global standards on home models, using warranty and safety guarantees, serving ordinary family real-world usage scenarios.

When many models blindly pursue acceleration, large screens, and flashy functions, the Fengyun T7 returns to the family essence: sufficient range, reliable safety, solid chassis, worry-free after-sales. The development model of "Overseas First, Then Home" also provides a reference for the domestic new energy industry: good cars not only serve the domestic market, but must withstand the test of the global market.

For ordinary consumers, if the budget falls between 90,000-120,000 RMB, wanting a 600km range, with lifetime warranty, pure electric SUV balancing city commuting and short trips, the Fengyun T7 is a pragmatic choice worth considering in depth.

On August 26, by Yanqi Lake, Chery Fengyun T7 officially launched. Three models, launch priority exchange price from 94,900 Yuan to 115,900 Yuan, simultaneously launching nine purchase benefits.

For a pure electric SUV aimed at family users, this theme is actually quite specific: range must be substantial, battery must stand the test of time, space must allow for comfortable seating, driving should be relaxed and not tiring, still able to provide peace of mind years later. Chery focused the Fengyun T7's priorities on the most basic and easily overlooked aspects of daily use, aiming to respond to the concerns of ordinary families with a more solid experience.

Chery has an identity that is easily overlooked, ranking first in exports of Chinese brand passenger cars for 23 consecutive years, over 20 million global users, products sold in over 130 countries and regions, applied to the Fengyun T7, this becomes the product logic.

The Fengyun T7's cumulative test mileage exceeds 6 million kilometers, durability special verification for 1.45 million kilometers, tested in over 100 extreme road condition environments globally, from Brazilian steep speed bumps, Mexican cobblestone roads, to German highway high-curvature corners, South African unpaved muddy roads, temperature range from -40°C to 55°C.

Behind these numbers lies a very practical truth, if a car can withstand global differences in regulations, road conditions, and climates, and then return to serve an ordinary domestic family, its reliability foundation is different, true durability, anti-corrosion, thermal management, chassis consistency, is polished out in such "slow work".

The same-source model Lepas L6 is already launched in South Africa and Thailand, and also entered Milan Design Week.

The Fengyun T7 comes standard with a 65.05kWh battery across the series, CLTC range 600km, but the official gave a more interesting number: media tested range 681.6 km, battery cycle life over 2,500 times, service life rated 15 years, supporting charging from 30% to 80% in 20 minutes.

For the old problem of pure electric low temperatures, the series gives heat pump AC plus high-voltage PTC, equipped with AGS intelligent grille and low wind resistance design, range improvement of 30% in -10°C environment. The electric drive is the 12-in-1 Kunpeng Super Electric Drive, peak power 178kW, maximum torque 275N·m, overall efficiency 90.8%.

In terms of space, vehicle length 4,570mm, wheelbase 2,700mm, interior space rate 84%, rear legroom 911mm, floor is fully flat. Trunk 450L, under-floor storage 99L, can reach 1,550L after rear seats folded, belongs to the type of family car where you don't feel cramped sitting inside, and loading things isn't strenuous.

In terms of safety, Fengyun T7, high-strength steel ratio 80%, hot-formed steel 18.84%, battery has 31-layer "chainmail" structure, IP68 water resistance is 96 times the national standard, side extrusion resistance 200kN, 2 times the national standard. 9 airbags for the whole vehicle, one of the most in its class. Two noteworthy details, first, dual-framed subframe plus Pack anti-collision beam launched at this level, second, Shotgun structure. The former protects the battery, the latter disperses collision energy.

Chassis gets 70mm large-size bushings, One-Box line-controlled braking, front and rear axle load ratio 50.8:49.2, what it affects is not paper performance, but braking dive, cornering posture, full-load stability these daily sensations.

Fengyun T7 launches the first 4nm process 8775 Cockpit-Integrated Chip, NPU computing power 72 TOPS, system response latency 80ms. The screen is 15.6-inch 2.5K, brightness 1000 nits, supports CarPlay, HiCar, CarLink. Assisted driving is equipped with Falcon 500, 22 sensors, supporting 300+ automatic parking scenarios, 100-meter track reverse, highway pilot assist.

The "steady happiness" proposed by Fengyun T7 is actually a return to this kind of demand. It takes Chery's global verification capability accumulated from over 20 years of exports, down to a 100,000-level pure electric SUV, building a reassuring car in a more clumsy, slower way.

How fast a car can run is parameters; how long a car can accompany you is the value. The choice Fengyun T7 made is clearly the latter.

Competition in the domestic new energy vehicle market is becoming increasingly fierce, industry part of the car companies pursue rapid iteration, in the 100,000-level pure electric track configuration differentiation, safety downgrade, range discrimination and other phenomena appear. August 26, Chery Fengyun T7 officially launched to the market, this globally positioned quality pure electric SUV, with launch guide price 97,900-118,900 RMB, priority exchange price starting from 94,900 RMB entering the market, with "Slow Work Builds Good Cars" long-termist thinking, bringing global standards, redundant safety, full-series long range down to the 100,000-level interval, bringing new thoughts to the national pure electric market.

Current 100,000-level pure electric SUV track involution intensifies, many models trapped in "surface low price, high config surcharge" trick. Entry versions reduce range, safety configurations shrink, high-order smart functions only left for mid-high specs, becoming common industry operations. Consumers wanting complete range, complete safety and smart experience, often forced to raise car purchase budget. Against this background, Fengyun T7 launches "Six Redundancies" product system, from collision safety, battery safety, range equality, all-domain energy saving, handling performance, whole vehicle verification six dimensions do capability reservation, breaking low price market "save what you can" product logic, attempting to rewrite segmented market value structure.

So-called native global car, is not simply domestic model modifications going overseas. According to reports, Fengyun T7 went through three-year R&D cycle, relying on Chery global 1+7+N R&D system polished, benchmarking 2026 version E-NCAP five-star safety standard development, early stage completed large amount overseas road conditions and regulation verification before returning to domestic market. Whole vehicle invested 81 durability test vehicles, durability special mileage reached 1.45 million kilometers, whole vehicle cumulative test mileage over 6 million kilometers, completed 21 countries real vehicle verification, covering -40°C to 55°C ultra-wide temperature domain, adapting global 95% road types, from Brazilian bumpy cobbles, Mexican cobblestone roads, to German highway curves, South African unpaved roads, completed trials in diverse extreme environments.

As enterprise ranking first in Chinese brand passenger car exports for 23 consecutive years, Chery global users have exceeded 20 million, products sold to over 130 countries and regions. Fengyun T7 same-source model Lepas L6 has already launched in South Africa, Thailand, subsequently will land Indonesia, EU, Australia New Zealand etc. markets. Launch event scene, overseas R&D engineers, overseas owner representatives jointly stood support, launch simultaneous delivery start, foreign owners become first batch of users, achieving "Launch means delivery".

In the range aspect most concerned by users, Fengyun T7 achieves Range Equality Redundancy, full series standard 65.05kWh Rhino Battery, CLTC range 600km, actual test range up to 681.6km, achieving reverse false labeling; 30%-80% fast charge only 20 minutes, battery has over 2,500 cycle life, high and low specs no longer do range cutting. Full series standard dual source wide temperature domain heat pump air conditioning plus high voltage PTC combination, minus 10°C environment range can increase 15%-20%, alleviating Northern winter pure electric model range dive pain points, achieving cold heat condition energy consumption stability.

Safety is the bottom line of family car use. Fengyun T7 adopts 9 horizontal 5 vertical cage-type Panstone body, high strength steel ratio 80%, equipped with same level unique Shotgun structure, double frame subframe and Pack anti-collision beam, equipped with same level most 9 airbags, including 48L far end airbag. Rhino Battery has 6D Armor Lock 31 layer protection structure, side extrusion capacity is 2 times national standard, pass 1,008 hours salt mist, 105 seconds fire severe test, IP68 water proof. Official also launched power battery safety backing policy, if power battery itself reason causes whole vehicle thermal runaway damage, compensate same model or not lower than original car config new car; smart driving assistance scenario accident highest 5 million compensation, put safety promise into policy level.

Intelligence aspect, this car equipped with same level first launch 4nm process 8775 cockpit drive integrated chip, 72 TOPS computing power, Lingxi Smart Cockpit 2.0 accessed Doubao large model, support fuzzy natural voice interaction; 22 high precision sensors, achieve 300+ all scenario auto parking, highway navigation assistance. Space 84% car interior acquisition rate, seats support heating ventilation, rear floor pure flat, seats fold down can form 1955mm×1310mm pure flat large bed mode, trunk max expand to 1550L, balance commute, camping, family outing diverse scenarios.

Launch event scene, musician Ken Wu attended as "Happiness Experience Officer" identity, with Chery Automobile Executive Vice President Li Xueyong around "Steady Happiness" conducted dialogue, co-launched "Happiness Co-creation Plan". Organizers stated, so-called steady happiness, not only material level, but also points to travel solid ground, reassurance, turning global quality into ordinary families accessible daily experience. New car launch 8-fold launch rights, include limited time free personal car color, finance interest-free, exchange subsidy, whole vehicle lifetime warranty, 666 RMB purchase lifetime basic maintenance package etc., pre-sale 1000 deductible 2000 rights extended to August 31.

Industry observation believes, China new energy vehicles have already said goodbye to simple price fight stage. Low price does not equal low quality, 100,000-level market can also have global car standard. Past many global models, first domestic polish then simple adapt overseas; Fengyun T7 walks reverse path, first complete global severe verification then serve domestic consumers, this to industry is a new attempt. When market many brands pursue "fast iteration, fast new products", Chery chooses slow work builds good cars, put a lot of cost into user unseen verification, safety redundancy, environment adaptation.

From market trend perspective, China new energy vehicles both want to move up to impact high-end, also want to move down to consolidate national market.

This car subsequent overseas many countries sequentially launch, will also become Chinese native global car outbound another sample.

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.
