August 26, Chery Fengyun T7 officially launched, price range 97,900 - 118,900 yuan. In the increasingly competitive new energy market background, this model chose a path different from "fast-track car manufacturing", developing for the global market from the start of R&D, returning to domestic sales after verification in multiple regions. Whether this development model can bring actual value to users can be seen from several dimensions of the product itself.

Fengyun T7 R&D cycle is 3 years, relying on Chery global "1+7+N" R&D system, pre-researched global regulations 2 years in advance, and designed according to 2026 version E-NCAP standards. This means it needs to adapt to vehicle usage needs in 210 countries and regions such as Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Middle East, etc., rather than developing for a single market. Homologous model LEPAS L6 has already landed in South Africa, Thailand and other markets, and appeared at Milan Design Week, verifying the platform's overseas adaptability from the side.
In the verification link, Fengyun T7 used 81 durability test vehicles, completing cumulative 1.45 million kilometers of real road tests, covering -40°C to 55°C temperature range, involving high temperature, high cold, high humidity, high salinity and other 7 major environments. Unlike some brands relying on laboratory simulation, these verifications were all completed on the ground. At the same time, 80-plus details such as steering feel for Thailand right-hand drive, chassis feedback for Indonesia bumpy roads, central control glare under Middle East strong light and other 80-plus details were localized. This "run global first, then return domestic" development rhythm, although lengthening the launch cycle, also makes the product's performance in extreme scenarios verifiable.
In terms of safety, Fengyun T7 body structure high-strength steel proportion 80%, hot-formed steel proportion 18.84%, adopts nine horizontal five vertical cage design, and configures class-unique shotgun structure, used to disperse collision energy. Airbag count is 9, including rear side airbags and far-end airbags. Battery protection reaches IP68 waterproof grade (National Standard 96 times), and passed 1008 hours salt spray test and 1.5 times National Standard fire test. These configurations are standard for the full series, not distinguished by model high/low spec.

In terms of range, full series standard 65.05kWh battery pack, CLTC stated range 600km. Under fast charging state, 30% to 80% power supplement takes 20 minutes. Electric drive system is 12-in-1 integrated design, comprehensive efficiency 90.8%, max speed 22,000rpm. These data are in a reasonable range among same-level models, actual performance awaits user long-term use feedback.
Body size 4,570mm, 1,852mm, 1,694mm, wheelbase 2,700mm, in-car space utilization rate 84%. Rear row legroom 911mm, floor is pure flat design. Trunk conventional capacity 450L, max expandable to 1,550L, with 19L privacy compartment and 99L lowered storage space. Front row seats support heating and ventilation functions, and equipped with 50W mobile phone wireless charging and multi-interface charging config. These configurations are more focused on daily travel convenience, no excessive redundant design.
Fengyun T7 homologous models have already launched in South Africa, Thailand and other places, will also enter Europe, Australia, New Zealand and other markets later. Associated Press has reported on this model, Chengdu Auto Show period also had foreign users on-site view cars and place orders. Press conference site invited overseas R&D, chassis and styling engineers to participate in technical explanation. Pre-sale stage (August 12 opened) 72-hour confirmed orders locked quantity 10,937 units, 9 days cumulative 16,787 units. These information can reflect the level of attention this model in overseas market from the side.

Fengyun T7 is a pure electric SUV developed according to global multi-regional standards, entered domestic market after on-site verification. It gives a relatively complete plan in safety configuration, range calibration, space utilization and other aspects, and most core configurations are standard for full series. 100,000 yuan class pricing range, compared with same-level models, differences mainly reflect in "global verification" development path and longer R&D cycle. For users who focus on product underlying verification logic, do not simply pursue launch speed, this car provides a horizontal comparison option. Of course, how the vehicle's actual performance is, needs more users to give real feedback in daily use.
