Chery Fengyun T7 Pre-sale Starts from 109,900 RMB, Equipped with 65 kWh Large Battery

Friends, have you noticed that the Fengyun series under Chery has become increasingly prominent in the market in recent years?

Like the Fengyun A8 and Fengyun A9 have delivered strong sales performance.

Why can it achieve results so quickly? I think the Fengyun brand follows a "technology for all" path, with an affordable price and no compromises on configuration. This is also the main reason it has established a foothold in its niche segment.

However, unexpectedly, the Fengyun family has added another "Fengyun T7". The official has confirmed that the new car will officially launch on August 26, with a pre-sale price range of 109,900 to 129,900 RMB.

It is reported that it is positioned as a pure electric compact SUV. This is also a heavy-hitting move by Chery in the "highly competitive arena" of the 100,000 RMB level pure electric SUV segment.

Old rules: Before discussing the car, I swear I have not been paid, I review the car purely out of conscience, heaven and earth bear witness!

No more nonsense, let's first talk about the basic information of this car.

The Fengyun T7 comes standard with the Rhino battery offering a CLTC pure electric range of 600 km, with a capacity of 65.05 kWh. Charging from 30% to 80% takes only 20 minutes.

High-spec models are also equipped with the Falcon 500 assisted driving system, supporting highway assisted driving.

To be honest, for this configuration to be placed at the 100,000 RMB price point, the sincerity is not low.

In terms of exterior design, the new car follows a streamlined and dynamic route. The dual LED headlights support adaptive high and low beams and headlight delay-off function. The large air ducts on both sides of the front face enhance the car's sporty feel.

The body side features chrome trim. The doors use traditional door handles, while the body lower cladding adopts a blacked-out material. 17-inch and 18-inch black wheel rims are available as options.

Regarding dimensions, the length, width, and height are 4570/1852/1694 mm, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. This data represents a standard build for a compact SUV, placing it on the same level as the Deepal S05 and Galaxy E5.

The rear features a full-width taillight design with a minimalist style. The rear spoiler and reinforced sports-style lower bumper give it a strong sporting presence. It also includes a power liftgate, which is a plus in the 100,000 RMB segment.

In terms of interior design, the wrap-around cockpit layout features a two-tone color scheme. It comes with an 8.8-inch full liquid crystal instrument cluster and a 15.6-inch 2.5K floating central control screen. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8775 chip, it supports CarPlay, HiCar, and Carlink connectivity. A panoramic sunroof and 50W wireless charging have also been included.

The front seats feature heating and ventilation functions. The system comes standard with an 8-speaker SONY audio setup. This configuration combination makes it very family-friendly.

Regarding powertrain, the new car features a single motor across the board, with a maximum power of 178 kW and a peak torque of 275 N·m. The suspension setup consists of a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.

Overall, the Fengyun T7 does not follow the performance monster route; it values balance and practicality more. This approach matches its target user group very well.

So the question arises, how intense is the competition in the 100,000 RMB level pure electric SUV segment?

We need to see which opponents the Fengyun T7 will face.

For example, the Leapmotor B10, Geely Galaxy E5, Deepal S05, BYD Yuan UP / Yuan PLUS, and GAC Aion i60 basically occupy the mainstream market of this price segment. Each has its own advantages and selling points.

The core advantage of the Leapmotor B10 lies in its range. The 600 km CLTC range is solid for this price segment. Its European chassis tuning and intelligent cockpit are also selling points. High-spec models feature the LiDAR version, offering comprehensive assisted driving capabilities.

The Galaxy E5's strength lies in its infotainment ecosystem, featuring the Flyme Auto system with the Dragon Eagle 1 chip. The four-screen linkage experience is well-executed. In terms of safety, it has passed dual five-star certifications from Euro NCAP and ANCAP.

The Deepal S05 leans towards sports in chassis tuning, with clear road feel and handling as its plus points. It also supports 6 kW AC discharge, making outdoor power usage quite convenient.

The Aion i60 focuses on continuous iteration, with fast OTA rhythm. Combined with the "burn-one-compensate-three" bottom-line policy, it handles long-term value and psychological security quite well.

Compared to these few cars, the Fengyun T7's advantages and shortcomings are quite obvious.

The advantage lies in the 600 km range, which is top-tier for this price segment. It ties with the Leapmotor B10 and is longer than the mainstream range versions of the Galaxy E5 and Deepal S05.

The high-spec model's Falcon 500 assisted driving system, combined with the Snapdragon 8775 chip and the 8.8-inch instrument cluster plus 15.6-inch 2.5K central control screen setup, offers a high configuration density. Especially features like wireless charging, seat ventilation and heating, and SONY audio are standard across the board, making the home experience very practical.

The shortcomings should also be stated clearly: The 178 kW single motor power and 275 N·m torque, while superior to the Leapmotor B10's 160 kW, are merely adequate compared to the power reserve requirements of users pursuing a sporty feel at this price point. It is by no means a surprise.

Regarding suspension structure, the front MacPherson plus rear multi-link setup is a conventional configuration for this price segment. It lacks the cross-segment performance of air suspension found in models like the Tang EV or Seal 08. This also conforms to its 100,000 RMB positioning; it cannot be judged by higher price segment standards.

It is worth mentioning that the Fengyun T7 follows a "overseas first, domestic later" path. The overseas homologous model, Lepas L6, has already entered the Southeast Asian markets such as Thailand and Indonesia. It is launched domestically after verification overseas.

This approach differs from the typical rhythm of most domestic new energy cars launching domestically first. Officially, it underwent 2 years of planning and 3 years of R&D, completing 1 million km of global road testing.

For users who value quality control and validation cycles, this also counts as a differentiated selling point.

For friends who want to buy this car, my personal suggestion is as follows; you can consider and weigh it yourself.

If your budget is exactly around 100,000 to 130,000 RMB, and your home usage scenarios are primarily urban commuting and short trips, and range anxiety is your biggest concern, the Fengyun T7's 600 km range plus 20-minute fast charging can basically meet your needs.

The real key is whether to choose the high-spec model, which mainly depends on your reliance on assisted driving. The Falcon 500 is only available on high-spec models. If the budget is limited, the middle and low specs are sufficient for daily commuting.

If you are more sensitive to handling and acceleration, the Deepal S05 or Leapmotor B10 might suit you better.

If you value the infotainment ecosystem and brand endorsement more, the Galaxy E5 and Aion i60 are also worth adding to your shortlist.

The core issue is that the 100,000 RMB level pure electric SUV segment has entered a phase of "no obvious shortcomings, competing on detail experience". Whether the Fengyun T7 can break out will depend on the final pricing after its official launch on August 26, as well as subsequent user feedback and reputation.
