In recent years, the Chinese automotive industry has faced extremely fierce competition, with new brands and models emerging constantly. Under such intense competition, many automotive brands, to maintain a faster development pace, have omitted many steps required during the "polishing stage" for automotive products. As a brand known for its engineering expertise, Chery applies extremely strict standards for quality, whether manufacturing fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles. According to "Automotive Business Review", on August 12, Chery launched the pre-sale of the new car Fengyun T7, with an official pre-sale price of 109,900-129,900. This car entered the pre-research stage as early as 2022. Compared to many models in the industry released within around 2 years, it underwent global verification before being officially presented.

5 Years of Extensive Polishing, Good Quality and Experience
2 years of planning, 3 years of R&D, over 5 years, Fengyun T7 invested a cumulative 963 test vehicles for global trials, accumulating 1.45 million kilometers of road test mileage, undergoing trials across extreme environments such as high heat, extreme cold, high humidity, and high salinity worldwide. Prior to this, the homologous global car Lepas L6 completed a launch verification first in South Africa and Thailand. As a global car, this vehicle can meet the needs of users in many countries and regions around the world simultaneously. Therefore, the product experience is designed with more "breadth" and "depth".
This "breadth" and "depth" is first reflected in some details.
First, from the perspective of space, Fengyun T7 has body dimensions of length 4570mm, width 1852mm, height 1694mm, with a wheelbase reaching 2700mm. The "space utilization rate" is 84%, which is particularly high. It can meet the seating needs of tall people in Nordic countries, naturally providing sufficient assurance for domestic adults. Meanwhile, rear legroom reaches 911mm and the rear floor is flat, allowing tall adults over 1.8m to sit comfortably.

In terms of storage, the new car has a standard trunk volume of 450L, with an attached 19L privacy compartment and 99L sink storage. Private items can be stored separately. In terms of details, 4 rivet rings with 300kg load-bearing capacity and 2 3kg hooks were designed. The former facilitates luggage securing, catering to the habits of overseas users, while the latter can be used to hang items, safe from spilling, usable by Chinese users as well. In addition, if there are more cargo requirements, the trunk can be 1550L, large items for moving or camping can be easily placed. It also supports expanding into a 1955mm*1310mm flat large bed mode. Outdoors, it can serve as a "tent" for a nap, also resisting insects and moisture.
In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with 9-layer structure Cloud-feel seats, offering good support. It also features 3-level seat heating and 3-level seat ventilation, bringing more comfortable temperature assurance during spring and summer seasons. Added to this are Sony speakers and cabin ambient lighting, providing a music experience superior to the same level.

Global Five-Star Safety Standards, Travel More Securely and Conveniently
The first hurdle an automotive product for global sales must pass is—safety.
Fengyun T7 was developed based on the 2026 version E-NCAP Five-Star Safety Standards. The car body materials are solid enough not to lose out to luxury cars, with high-strength steel accounting for 80%, and hot-formed steel accounting for 18.84%. Benefiting from 6 front collision/9 side collision force transmission paths, as well as the rare shotgun structure at the same level, dual frame subframe + Pack anti-collision beam, it can effectively disperse and dissipate collision energy in sudden situations, reducing the possibility of the passenger cabin deforming, providing sufficient physical space for safety.
It is worth mentioning that at the same price point, most cars are equipped with 6 or 7 airbags, while Fengyun T7 is equipped with 9, ensuring safety for both front and rear rows is fully met.

When manufacturing new energy vehicles, battery safety is also crucial. The new car adopts "6D Lock Armor" with 31-layer protection structure + three-horizontal-one-vertical structure design to empower battery safety, capable of well resisting risks such as extrusion, puncture, and impact. It combines national standard 96 times IP68 waterproofing capability, allowing confident driving even during summer thunderstorms.
In fact, in the intelligent era, the intelligent technology carried by cars can also be a link in ensuring safety.
This time, Fengyun T7 is equipped with the Falcon 500 Driving Assistance System, built on end-to-end algorithms, supporting integrated cabin, driving, and parking assistance experience. Functionally, it supports highway navigation, simplifying complex driving operations during long-distance travel. Synchronously supports intelligent parking assistance covering 300+ parking scenarios, as well as 2km memory parking functions. New drivers facing diagonal parking spots, irregular parking spots, or some extremely narrow spots can easily complete the parking process. It can also avoid scraping risks caused by improper operation. In addition, there are active safety functions such as front/rear collision warning, active braking, etc., dissolving risks invisibly, effectively preventing trouble before it happens.

In terms of intelligent cockpit, the new car features a combination of 15.6-inch central control screen + 8.8-inch instrument cluster, creating a good audio-visual atmosphere. It is built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8775 Cockpit-Driving Integrated Chip, adopting 4nm process with higher computing power, while models at the same level mostly use 5-7nm chips. Functionally, intelligent voice interaction is naturally not absent. It also integrates CarPlay, HiCar, CarLink, connecting the ecosystem between mobile phones and vehicle machines. Added with 50W wireless charging function for the first-row phone, bringing convenience comprehensively to driving life.
Ultra-long Range Fast Charging, Excellent Chassis for Easier Driving
This time, Fengyun T7 takes the pure electric route.
In terms of power, it is equipped with a motor of maximum power 178kW and maximum torque 275N·m, offering more outstanding power compared to models at the same price point.
Regarding range, the new car comes standard with 65.05kWh Rhinoceros large capacity battery. Most models at the same level have a range between 400-500km, while its range reaches 600km. Charging twice a month is roughly enough. It is worth mentioning that there is a significant difference between actual range and rated range for many EVs, but the new car's measured range is 667+km. This over-delivery strength gives more confidence for travel.

Regarding charging, the new car can complete the process of increasing battery level from 30% to 80% in 20 minutes, facilitating users to charge and use the vehicle according to their schedule. Furthermore, the battery can work normally in -40℃ to 60℃. Both the North in winter and Turpan in summer can be driven normally.
At the driving control level, the new car has a 50.8:49.2 golden axle load ratio, with front and rear axle loads evenly distributed, making the vehicle center of gravity more stable and roll suppression force stronger. Paired with 70mm large size bushings, it enhances chassis filtering ability. Meanwhile, the new car chassis is specially tuned by an international chassis team led by a former Maserati chassis tuning expert in the 160km/h+ ultra-high-speed section, bringing a more enjoyable driving experience. The new car is also equipped with a One-Box Line Control Brake System, with faster braking reaction capability, adding another layer of protection for driving safety, while also including kinetic energy recovery function, further improving travel vehicle economy.

Final Thoughts: Deeply cultivating for 5 years of polishing, experiencing millions of kilometers of global strict trials, Chery Fengyun T7 breaks away from the impetuousness of the industry's fast production and fast sales. It carefully polishes the quality to the right level before presenting it to consumers. More importantly, as an automotive product capable of adapting to global user needs, Fengyun T7 covers aesthetics, comfort, safety, intelligence, driving control, and range without exception. It is one of the few automotive products at this price point that can basically cover user needs. It can be said that this car is well worth a look.
