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.

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.

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.

When the new energy track falls into a cutthroat competition wave of solely seeking speed, many models pursue rapid market launch, "speed-built car manufacturing" becomes a common phenomenon in the industry. On August 26, global quality pure electric SUV Fengyun T7 officially appeared on stage. The new car offers 3 configuration versions, official guide price 97,900-118,900 Yuan, priority trade-in price starts from as low as 94,900 Yuan. Not taking the shortcut of "simply restyling domestic models for export", Fengyun T7 chooses to go to various places around the world first to undergo strict tests, then return to the domestic market, bringing a new approach of "quality over speed" to the 100,000-level home pure electric SUV market.

"A global car cannot be rushed", behind this slogan is solid R&D accumulation. Fengyun T7 went through 3 years of polishing, relying on Chery's global 1+7+N R&D system for original development, started global regulation pre-research two years in advance, the whole vehicle is designed and defined according to the 2026 version E-NCAP five-star safety standard. During the R&D phase, visited 15 typical countries, completed 5,000+ global user in-depth research, targeted different regions' driving habits, implemented 80+ local adaptations, fundamentally accommodating mobility needs of 210 countries and regions worldwide.

Paper parameters are not as good as long-distance road testing. In order to implement "global quality" from concept to production vehicles, the brand invested 81 durability test vehicles to go to various parts of the world to start actual testing. 1.45 million kilometers total durability verification mileage, vehicles driving between -40°C to 55°C extreme temperature range, passing through seven extreme environments such as high-temperature sun exposure, Nordic extreme cold, Southeast Asia heavy rain high humidity, high salinity alkaline coastal areas, etc. Whether it is the Southeast Asia rainy season 500mm deep wading test, Brazilian bumpy gravel roads, or Mexican potholed cobblestone roads, all adopted real road actual trials, not limited to laboratory environment simulation.

Same source model Lepas L6 has already gone abroad first, landed in South Africa, Thailand markets successively, also went on Milan Design Week to gain international good reviews, later will also enter Indonesia, EU, Aus-NZ, UK and other multiple markets. For this launch event, overseas chassis, styling, R&D engineers stood together, appearing to interpret the thinking behind the whole vehicle tuning. The new car also broke the industry time lag, achieved launch then delivery, many foreign users in China became the first batch of owners, personally felt the product strength of this native global car.

On the product end, Fengyun T7 with four core values of High Performance, Global Aesthetics, Safer, Intelligent responds to family users' diverse mobility demands. All series come standard with 65.05kWh Rhino battery, CLTC range reaches 600km, actual range testing shows excellent performance exceeding claimed specs, 30%-80% fast charging only needs 20 minutes, a cup of coffee's time can supplement 300 km range. All series equipped with dual-source wide-temperature domain heat pump air conditioning + high voltage PTC, effectively alleviates range decay under low temperature environments, northern winter travel also has more confidence.

Safety level builds rock-solid body, 9 horizontal and 5 vertical cage structure support, whole vehicle high strength steel ratio 80%, equipped with the most 9 airbags in the same class; 6D chainmail armor 31 layer structure builds protection fortress for battery, IP68 waterproof ability far exceeds national standard requirements. Smart experience is also no compromise, equipped with same class debut 4nm process 8775 cockpit and driving integrated chip, 22 high-precision sensors, realize 300+ all scenario automatic parking, highway pilot assistance; Lingxi Smart Cockpit 2.0 connects Doubao large model, say goodbye to mechanical stiff voice interaction, power nap, camping, baby mode one-key switch, adapt to commute, camping, taking care of kids and other various life scenarios.

As consecutive 23 years Chinese brand passenger car export champion, Chery global users have broken 20 million. The arrival of Fengyun T7 also lets domestic ordinary consumers, right at home can own a high-quality pure electric SUV that has undergone global strict inspection.

According to EV Zhijia, on August 26, Chery Fengyun brand held a new car launch event with the theme "Steady Happiness",Global Quality Pure Electric SUV Fengyun T7 officially launched. A total of three models were launched: 600km Enjoyment, 600km Comfort, and 600km Smart, with a launch guide price of97,900 – 118,900 RMB, after adding a 3,000 RMB/unit trade-in subsidy,priority trade-in price starts from as low as 94,900 – 115,900 RMB, officially bringing a CLTC range 600km Pure Electric SUV within the 100,000 RMB range.

Relying on an approachable pricing strategy, globally rigorous product strength, and comprehensive benefit policies, Fengyun T7 precisely cuts into the competitive 100,000-level pure electric SUV sub-market, breaking the industry's inherent chaos of configuration involution and experience shrinkage with four core values of "Super Performance, Global Beauty, Safer, Good Wisdom", bringing young consumers and family users a new choice of pure electric travel with texture, safety and cost-effectiveness.

As a native quality pure electric SUV built based on global standards, Fengyun T7 upholds the long-termism car manufacturing concept of "Slow Craft to Make a Good Car", abandoning the industry's rapid iteration and rough car manufacturing impatience, from R&D, design, standards to full-scenario verification, completing all-around fine polishing. The new car relies on Chery's global 1+7+N R&D system, has undergone three years of intensive R&D, collaborated with top 10 global design centers and over a hundred designers, combined with 5000+ global user co-creation needs to shape the product, its homologous model Lepas L6 has landed in overseas markets such as Thailand and South Africa, and appeared at Milan Design Week to win extensive praise, fully verifying its product design strength that fits global aesthetics.

In the quality verification level, Fengyun T7 has cumulatively completed over 6 million km of vehicle testing, 1.45 million km of special durability verification, crossing 21 countries worldwide and over 100 kinds of extreme road conditions, withstanding -40°C to 55°C ultra-wide temperature range, high-temperature sun exposure, extreme cold ice and snow, mud and silt etc. full-scenario environment trials, meanwhile developed according to 2026 version E-NCAP five-star safety standards, completed 212 global regulation certifications, truly achieving the high-quality car manufacturing logic of first undergoing global rigorous trials, then returning to the domestic market.

In the product performance level users core concern, Fengyun T7 completely ends the industry pain points of 100,000-level models having false mileage labeling and high/low configuration differentiation, achieving comprehensive value equality. The new car is equipped with a 65.05kWh large capacity Rhino battery as standard across the series, achieving CLTC 600km long range uniformly across all domains, actual test range can reach 681.6km, realizing rare industry mileage reverse false labeling, completely dispelling user travel range anxiety.

In addition, pre-sale period 1,000 RMB deposit offset 2,000 RMB inflation welfare extended to August 31, further improving new car entry cost-effectiveness.

At the press conference site, famous musician Wu Kequn assisted as "Happiness Experience Officer" identity, joined hands with brand to launch "Happiness Co-creation Plan", binding model hardcore product strength with ordinary people daily travel happiness deeply, letting travel experience with both technology and warmth walk into more families.

From market prospect view, current domestic 100,000-level pure electric SUV market has become new energy vehicle sales core incremental track, according to industry data, 100,000-150,000 RMB pure electric SUV sales ratio continues to rise, over 70% family users car purchase priority focus on range authenticity, whole vehicle safety and comprehensive quality value ratio. But currently sub-market generally exists entry-level configuration shrinkage, range false labeling, safety configuration reduction, intelligent experience downgrade etc. chaos, product homogenization is serious, high cost-effectiveness, full-dimension no shortcoming benchmark model scarce.

Fengyun T7's launch precisely fills the market blank, with global car manufacturing standards, Six Major Redundancies product strength, series high-equipment equality advantage, breaking "low price must be low quality" industry stereotype, realizing "100,000-level pricing, 200,000-level value" leap-level experience. Relying on Chery 23 years Chinese brand passenger car export first strong accumulation, global 20 million users market reputation, and launch time delivery high-efficiency fulfillment ability, Fengyun T7 not only can quickly grab domestic family commuting, young first purchase sub-market, but with global adaptation ability continue to deepen overseas market, possessing extremely strong market competitiveness and growth potential.

As an automotive blogger who has been closely following new car dynamics, after watching the Chery Fengyun T7 launch event on August 26, my biggest feeling is: the cost-performance ceiling of 100,000-level pure electric SUVs has been raised another notch by Chery.

The new car offers 3 versions with a 600km range. The launch guide price is 97,900 - 118,900 RMB, with the early trade-in price starting as low as 94,900 RMB. Against the industry norm of 'reducing specs and downsizing the entry-level version' prevalent in this class, Fengyun T7 directly delivers 'global standards, full high-spec' at the 100,000-level price point, showing sufficient sincerity. Additionally, 8 purchase benefits during the launch period, covering lifetime whole-vehicle warranty, power battery safety guarantee, interest-free finance, etc., further lower the threshold for buying and using the vehicle.

This launch event did not pile up parameters throughout, instead adopting 'Steady Happiness' as the theme, inviting musician Wu Kequn to serve as 'Happiness Experience Officer', and having a chat with Chery Automobile Executive Vice President Li Xueyong about daily vehicle usage and life happiness. From the peace of mind during commuting, to the relaxed freedom of family trips, to the pleasant rest while camping and parking the vehicle, transforming cold product parameters into travel scenarios perceivable by ordinary people. The 'Happiness Co-creation Plan' launched simultaneously on-site also makes this car's positioning clearer: it is a reliable partner for family users, bringing a stable travel experience.

Supporting this 'Steady Happiness' is the core DNA of Fengyun T7 as a native global vehicle. Unlike many domestic models that update and then head overseas, Fengyun T7 benchmarked against the highest global standards from the start of development: it underwent 3 years of R&D polishing, developed according to the 2026 version E-NCAP five-star safety standard, completed 1.45 million kilometers of durability verification, covering -40°C to 55°C extreme environments, and endured global 100+ limit road conditions including Brazilian speed humps, Mexican cobblestone roads, and German highway curves. Its homologous model Lepas L6 has entered the South African and Thai markets, and will subsequently enter regions such as the EU, Australia, and New Zealand. It is truly a model that passes global market testing first before returning to the domestic market.

From a product perspective, the 'Six Major Redundancies' are Fengyun T7's core competitiveness. Regarding range, all models come standard with the 65.05kWh Rhinoceros battery, offering a CLTC pure electric range of 600km, with actual tests reaching 681.6km, achieving 'reverse false labeling'. A 30%-80% fast charge takes only 20 minutes, so the entry-level version does not need range anxiety. Regarding safety, an 80% high-strength steel cage body is paired with 9 airbags, unique in its class, and the battery adopts a 6D Lock Plate 31-layer protection structure. It features IP68 waterproofing and side anti-compression resistance reaching twice the national standard, with maximum safety margin. Regarding intelligence, it is equipped with the same-class premiere 4nm process 8775 cockpit-drive integrated chip, supporting 300+ full-scenario automatic parking and highway pilot assistance, greatly reducing the burden of daily vehicle usage.

Overall, the Fengyun T7 is not a model that simply competes on low price; rather, it brings global quality, high-level configurations, and reliable safety together into the 100,000-level market. For consumers seeking a steady and worry-free home pure electric SUV, this vehicle is worth experiencing on-site at a dealership.

On August 26, at the Beijing Yanqi Lake International Convention Center, Chery held a press conference to officially launch the global quality pure electric SUV Fengyun T7, offering three versions: Joyful Edition, Comfort Edition, and Smart Edition, with launch prices of: 94,900 Yuan, 105,900 Yuan, 115,900 Yuan.

“Global quality refined with craftsmanship, meticulous work never settles. Tempered to reveal true quality, steady happiness lasts longer.” Chery Executive Vice President Li Xueyong introduced that Fengyun T7 is based on global quality, leveraging the four core values of Super Performance, Global Aesthetics, Safer, and Smart Wisdom, as well as the "Six Redundancies" product strength including collision safety, battery safety, range equality, full-domain energy saving, handling performance, and vehicle validation, bringing a reliable and worry-free pure electric travel choice for global users.

Four Core Values: Super Performance, Global Aesthetics, Safer, Smart Wisdom,

At the press conference, Li Xueyong first focused on introducing the four core values of Fengyun T7.

Super Performance: All models standard equipped with 65.05kWh Rhino Battery, CLTC range 600km, actual range exceeds claims with 667+km tested, 30%-80% fast charge only 20 minutes; Dual-Source Wide-Temperature Range Heat Pump + 14 Low Wind Resistance Design features, winter range increased by 30%, 12-in-1 Kunpeng Electric Drive combined efficiency 90.8%, leading in class.

Global Aesthetics: Relying on 10 Global Design Centers, co-created by over 100 designers, 5000+ users co-created, blending Oriental Elegance with global aesthetics, 6 Oriental Elegance paint colors, exclusive Blaze Orange Tri-coat 3-layer luxury car craft in class; Cloud Wing Wraparound Cockpit transparent and premium, dual interior colors suit different aesthetics, balancing aesthetics and home practicality, long-term use does not look old easily.

Safer: High-strength steel accounts for 80%, class-exclusive Shotgun structure, first launch dual-frame subframe + Pack crash beam; 9 airbags maximum in class; 6D Lock Armor 31-layer battery protection, IP68 water resistance reaches 96 times national standard, side anti-crushing reaches 2 times national standard, comprehensive protection for family travel.

Smart Wisdom: Class-first 4nm process 8775 Cockpit-Driving Integrated Chip, 72 TOPS computing power, system response as low as 80ms; Lingxi Smart Cockpit 2.0 x Doubao Large Model, full-scenario fuzzy voice interaction; 22 high-precision sensors, support 300+ full-scenario automatic parking, highway pilot assistance, all models standard equipped with AGS Active Grille Shutter.

Adhering to Three "Cannot Be Fast"

"Cars are not FMCGs, they carry the travel safety of tens of millions of families, facing different road conditions, high/low temperatures, salt-alkali dampness tests worldwide. Some time, we really dare not save." Li Xueyong introduced: 1. R&D cannot be fast, vehicle, powertrain, and smart driving need repeated polishing and iteration; 2. Validation cannot be fast, reliability must be run out by real global scenarios; 81 test vehicles, 21 countries, 1.45 million km extreme durability test, developed according to 2026 Edition E-NCAP European 5-Star Safety Standard, not just paper parameters; 3. Global user co-creation cannot be fast, visiting users in multiple countries, listening to different families' real car usage demands.

Li Xueyong said, Fengyun T7 is not late, it is just the time a good car should spend. A true global car is not made domestically and then modified for overseas sales, but developed according to global standards from the very first day of the project, first verified in overseas markets, then returned to China for Chinese consumers. The overseas homologous model Lepas L6 has already launched in Thailand and South Africa, followed by EU, Indonesia, Australia/New Zealand markets.

Promising Two Bottom-line Policies

At the press conference, Li Xueyong promised users two bottom-lines:

1. Battery Safety Bottom-line: If thermal runaway is caused by quality issues of the Chery battery pack itself, we compensate with a brand new car of the same model;

2. Smart Driving Bottom-line: Falcon 500 Assistance Driving, within 1 year of purchase, if an accident is caused by system reasons, maximum compensation 5 million.

"Also providing whole vehicle + powertrain lifetime warranty to everyone; 666 Yuan optional lifetime basic maintenance package to reduce family car maintenance pressure. Trade-in subsidy, 2-year 0% interest financing, free exclusive paint, etc. benefits given to everyone simultaneously." Li Xueyong said.

August 26, Chery Fengyun T7 officially launched, guide price 97,900-118,900 Yuan, priority trade-in price starting from 94,900 Yuan. The theme of the launch event was interesting — "Steady Happiness". In an industry where new cars are rolled out monthly, talking about "Happiness" requires more confidence than talking about specs.

Where does this confidence come from? Just look at the status of the 100,000-level pure electric SUV market.

In this price segment, users have long been used to a tacit set of rules: entry-level version range discounted, airbags reduced, advanced intelligent driving left for high-spec owners to opt for. The industry uses "base versions" to lower the price anchor, leaving the parts that truly determine safety and experience as add-on items on high-spec models. If users want a "reliable" car, they often have to spend tens of thousands more.

Fengyun T7's approach is the opposite.

Range equality is the first knife that bursts through the industry window paper. Standard equipment on all trims is 65.05kWh Rhinoceros battery, CLTC range unified at 600km for three versions. Some media tested and ran 681.6 km. 30%-80% fast charge takes 20 minutes, rest at service area, come out can run another 300 km. All trims standard equipped with dual-source wide-temperature heat pump AC + high-voltage PTC, at minus 10°C range can still improve 15%-20%. Not "cutting" in range due to high or low configuration — this logic, essentially, pulls the right of choice back from the spec sheet to the product itself.

Safety redundancy is its most substantial promise to family users. The whole vehicle developed according to 2026 version E-NCAP 5-star standard. 80% high-strength steel, 18.84% hot-formed steel, nine-cross five-long cage body; industry-exclusive Shotgun structure and double-frame subframe + Pack crash beam; 9 airbags including 48L dual-cavity far-end airbag. Battery 6D lock armor 31-layer protection, IP68 waterproofing reaches national standard 96 times, side anti-compression 2 times national standard. There are also two safety net guarantees: battery thermal runaway due to battery reasons, compensate same model new car; intelligent driving system causes accident, within one year max compensation 5 million Yuan. Many brands talk about safety, few are willing to write the liability compensation in black and white.

"Native Global Car" status, is its hardest trump card. Chery exported No. 1 for 23 consecutive years, 20 million global users. Fengyun T7 took a "reverse going global" path — not developed domestically then modified to go out, but anchored globally from the start of R&D. Pre-research global regulations 2 years in advance, 5,000+ global users participate in co-creation. 81 durability cars synchronous road test, vehicle cumulative test over 6 million kilometers. Traces cover global 100+ road conditions and -40°C to 55°C ultra-wide temperature range. Same-origin model Lepas L6 has already landed South Africa, Thailand, September enter EU. First finish the bitterness globally, then come back sell to Chinese families — the value of this path is far more substantial than "export data".

At the press conference, Willer Wu appeared as "Happiness Experience Officer". He didn't sing, but chatted with Chery Executive Vice President Li Xueyong about one thing — "Steady Happiness". Binding "Happiness" with a 100,000-level pure electric SUV, sounds like marketing jargon at first glance, looking closely at the spec sheet found that — Chery really broke down "Happiness" into range without shrinkage, safety without reduction, quality without discount. Others rely on reducing specs and cutting prices, it relies on adding quantity and improving quality.

The 100,000-level pure electric SUV market has rolled to the eve of homogenization. Each brand competes to push single indicators higher, but most models will compromise on core hardware such as batteries, safety. Fengyun T7's entry is giving this sub-market rules redefined: Global car 100,000-level price, real 200,000-level value.

"R&D cannot be fast, verification cannot be fast, global user co-creation cannot be fast too." Li Xueyong's words at the conference revealed the underlying logic of Fengyun T7. In this industry where speed is everything, car enterprises that dare to say "slow" are actually the most worth being seen.

On August 26, the global quality pure electric SUV Fengyun T7, built with the philosophy of "slow craftsmanship makes good cars", officially launched. The new car offers three configuration versions, with an official guide price ranging from 97,900 to 118,900 yuan, and a limited-time priority trade-in price starting as low as 94,900 yuan. Relying on original global vehicle-building strength, Fengyun T7 establishes a new global quality benchmark for the 100,000-level pure electric market with its four core values: Super Range, Global Beauty, Safer, and Smart Wisdom, truly allowing ordinary users to enjoy global standard mobility experiences at affordable prices.

Currently, the new energy market iteration is accelerating, and internal competition is intensifying. Fengyun T7 adheres to long-termism, practices the original intention of "global cars cannot be rushed", went through 2 years of planning and 3 years of R&D, relying on Chery's global 1+7+N R&D system for meticulous craftsmanship. The vehicle was developed strictly benchmarking the 2026 E-NCAP five-star safety standards, completing 1.45 million km of special durability verification and 6 million km of overall road testing, enduring extreme environment trials such as -40°C to 55°C global extreme temperature zones, high heat, extreme cold, high humidity, etc., adapting to vehicle use needs in 210 countries and regions worldwide. It is absolutely not a simple domestic model modification for export, but a true original global car.

Rigorous polishing creates cross-level hardcore product strength. In terms of safety, Fengyun T7 features a nine-transverse five-longitudinal cage body structure, combining 80% high-strength steel with 18.84% hot-formed steel, supported by the class-exclusive Shotgun structure and 9 airbags, building a solid vehicle safety foundation. The Rhino battery adopts a 6D stereoscopic protection system, with IP68 waterproof capability 96 times the national standard. Side anti-compression, fire testing and other indicators far exceed national standards. Coupled with dual fallback rights—replacing the new car if the power battery undergoes thermal runaway and up to 5 million yuan compensation for intelligent driving—it comprehensively protects user travel safety.

In terms of range and energy consumption, Fengyun T7 achieves quality parity for the entire series, with the whole car standard-equipped with a 65.05kWh Rhino battery, CLTC pure electric range of 600km, actual test range reaching 667km+, completely saying goodbye to range anxiety caused by false markings. 30%-80% fast charging can be completed in 20 minutes. Coupled with dual-source wide-temperature range heat pump air conditioning and 14 low wind resistance designs, all-climate energy consumption is stable, solving the pain point of range attenuation in northern winters. At the same time, the 2700mm extra-long wheelbase brings an 84% ultra-high interior space utilization rate, pure flat rear seat and ultra-large expansion storage space, accommodating both home and outdoor multi-scenario needs.

In terms of intelligence and aesthetics, Fengyun T7 is equipped with the same-class first 4nm Snapdragon 8775 chip, with 80ms ultra-fast response, paired with Lingxi Smart Cockpit 2.0 and Doubao Large Model, interaction is smooth and natural, with more warmth. The Falcon 500 intelligent driving system carries 22 high-precision sensors, supporting 300+ full-scenario parking, completely solving daily parking problems. The model was jointly created by over 100 designers worldwide, winning recognition at Milan Design Week. The 0.286Cd ultra-low wind resistance combined with six Oriental elegance car colors gives the appearance both international aesthetics and Oriental characteristics.

As a heavy-weight model of Chery's globalization, Fengyun T7's same-source model Lepas L6 has landed in overseas markets such as South Africa and Thailand, and is about to enter high-regulation regions such as the EU and Australia/New Zealand, winning recognition from authoritative foreign media such as the Associated Press. Previously, pre-sale orders broke 16,787 units in 9 days, delivery synchronized upon launch, foreign owners were the first to pick up cars, proving hardcore strength with a global hot sales trend. From global R&D verification to global user recognition, Fengyun T7 lands global quality with 100,000-level pricing, redefining the upper limit of value for national pure electric SUVs.

On August 27, Fengyun New Energy officially announced that orders for Chery Fengyun T7 within 24 hours of launch broke 23,188 units.

It can be seen that Fengyun T7 tries to find a balance point on range parity, safety redundancy and space practicality. It does not pursue the extreme of a single item, but emphasizes the balanced satisfaction of six essential needs. For families who are hesitating about what car is better to buy for a family SUV or what is the best car to buy around 100,000, this model, which has been tempered by global standards, provides a solid option worth including in the comparison list with its stable product strength.

August 28, the 29th Chengdu International Automobile Exhibition reached its climax — the Great Wall ORA 5GT and ORA 5 Sport Edition officially launched. The two new cars are positioned as "Young People's Super Cool Compact Hot Hatches," with a limited-time trade-in price starting from 71,800 yuan, covering fuel, HEV hybrid, and fully electric powertrain options. Against the backdrop of a long-term lack of products that truly "understand young people" in the 100,000-level hatchback market, the arrival of Great Wall ORA's dual cars not only completes the product matrix but also precisely responds to young consumption logic.

Gen Z's Car Buying Logic Has Changed

In 2026, the focus of car companies' competition is shifting from quantifiable parameters such as range, acceleration, and computing power to emotional resonance with young consumers. Gen Z has become the main force in car buying; they no longer view cars merely as transportation tools, but as extensions of personal expression, cultural identity, and lifestyle attitudes. Surveys show that 41% of Chinese consumers consider "experience and emotional value" as key when choosing a brand, a proportion exceeding those who focus on price.

The Great Wall ORA 5GT and Sport Edition are precisely responses to this trend. The dual cars did not fall into parameter involution, but anchored the market with user value of "good-looking, easy to drive, and cool"—not piling up performance parameters, but establishing a connection with young people using the perceivable emotional experience of "cool." From videos of Great Wall Motor Chairman Wei Jianjun personally driving the ORA 5GT on high-speed tracks going viral, to the dual car parade on Chengdu streets, this "super cool compact hot hatch" went viral before sales even started, reflecting Gen Z's thirst for "attitude-driven" products.

Dual Car Differentiation: Two Solutions for Track Handling and Urban Trends

The Great Wall ORA 5GT and ORA 5 Sport Edition are not a simple high-low trim relationship, but a differentiated layout for different usage scenarios. The ORA 5GT digs deep into ultimate track handling, targeting young users who pursue competitive driving and personal expression; the ORA 5 Sport Edition focuses on urban trend daily life, adapting to city commuting and diverse travel scenarios.

In terms of appearance, the dual cars deeply practice the "Natural Sport Aesthetics" design concept. The ORA 5GT adopts a dropped front face and dive-bomber body styled after Porsche and Aston Martin, equipped with a full set of aerodynamic GT kits — wind-cutting front splitter, sport side skirts, air-sucking rear diffuser, and wind-gliding floating wing. Under 180 km/h conditions, the pure electric model can provide approximately 37 kg of downforce. 19-inch Tornado multi-color wheels paired with Flame Red GT energy components freeze track racing aesthetics into body details. The ORA 5 Sport Edition is equipped with a lightweight aerodynamic sport kit, offering 4 trendy color-blocking options and 2 solid color paint finishes, adapting to daily travel scenarios with a more restrained style.

In terms of interior, the ORA 5GT uses Midnight Grey as a base with Flame Red color-blocking, equipped with professional track-level one-piece sport seats; the ORA 5 Sport Edition interior is bright, equipped with ergonomic seats receiving the highest rating of "Star of Comfort" from CAERI — one born for the track, one designed for daily use.

Technology Parity: Bringing 300,000-level Experience to the 100,000-level Market

The most disruptive value of the two new cars lies in bringing cross-class technology experience to the 100,000-level market. The chassis was fully tuned by a European professional team led by former McLaren Chief Engineer, achieving the product concept of "Kart with Sofa" — having the crisp and pure handling feedback of a go-kart while also considering sofa-level comfortable seating quality. The whole vehicle is equipped with front and rear high-strength anti-roll bars and super 1.4 Hz frequency motion springs, combined with a 490 mm golden ultra-low center of gravity (pure electric version), ensuring stable cornering, no nose-diving during braking, and no head-raising during acceleration.

In terms of intelligence, the dual cars are fully equipped with the Coffee OS 3 Smart Cockpit System and Coffee Pilot 3 Intelligent Driving Assistance System. The 15.6-inch 2.5K floating central control screen has a built-in 4nm automotive chip, with system startup in less than 3 seconds; the LiDAR version is equipped with 27 sensing hardware components, achieving full-scenario assistive driving from parking space to parking space. More critically, this smart driving experience does not downgrade with powertrain versions — fuel, hybrid, and pure electric are equipped with the same intelligent system, truly achieving technology parity.

In terms of power, relying on the strong compatibility of the Guiyuan platform, the dual cars simultaneously provide fuel, HEV hybrid, and pure electric power. Among them, the HEV hybrid version is equipped with the Hi2 intelligent hybrid system, with a combined power of 166 kW and a peak torque of 476 N·m, with fuel consumption as low as 3.74 L per 100 km — a rare HEV hatchback hot hatch in the same class.

A Chinese Answer from a Global Perspective

The launch of Great Wall ORA 5GT and the Sport Edition is not an isolated event. The ORA brand's sales in June reached 10,806 units, a year-on-year surge of 229%, with cumulative sales of nearly 600,000 units for the entire series. ORA 5 has already broken 5,000 orders in Thailand, sold out 2,000 units in 24 hours in Brazil, and landed in European markets such as Spain and Italy. The launch of Great Wall ORA 5GT and the Sport Edition is a continuation of this global momentum — with Chinese technology, Chinese design, and Chinese quality, outputting the value proposition of "Super Cool Compact Hot Hatch" to young users globally.

Limited-time trade-in price starting from 71,800 yuan, plus up to 10,000 yuan trade-in subsidy and eight exclusive benefits — Great Wall ORA 5GT and the Sport Edition are not merely catering to the market, but redefining what a 100,000-level hatchback should be. When Gen Z votes for attitude rather than parameters, the arrival of this "Super Cool Compact Hot Hatch" is perfectly timed.

In recent years, the biggest characteristic of the Chinese auto industry is speed. In the past, a mid-cycle update every three years or a replacement every six to seven years was normal. Now, just a year after launch, owners might already be worried whether they bought an older model.

After the Fengyun T7 launch, I am instead more interested in one thing it talks about: slowing down.

The Fengyun T7 launched three versions this time, with a recommended price of 97,900 to 118,900 yuan, and an early trade-in price of 94,900 to 115,900 yuan. More importantly, all three versions are equipped with 65.05kWh batteries, and the CLTC range is 600km for all, without using a short-range version to lower the starting price.

Competition in the 100,000 yuan class pure electric SUV segment is already very fierce. Many cars look like they have a very low starting price, but a careful study of the configuration table will reveal that entry-level versions might cut corners on battery and range first. The Fengyun T7's approach is simple and straightforward: 600km is standard across the entire range.

The powertrain is not made overly conservative just because of the low price. 178kW motor, top speed 180km/h, four-wheel independent suspension, front-to-rear axle load ratio 50.8:49.2, plus 70mm large bushings and a 26mm front stabilizer bar.

Putting these parameters together, I find them more interesting than simply emphasizing 0-100 acceleration.

Because for a family SUV, what is felt every day is not accelerating hard at red lights, but rather highway stability, body behavior during cornering, and whether the chassis feels loose on rough roads. Especially for a car to be sold in different global markets, the chassis will face not just asphalt roads in Chinese cities.

This leads to one of the Fengyun T7's special features. From the product definition stage, it was designed as a global car.

Development cycle is 3 years, developed according to 2026 version E-NCAP five-star safety standards, with over 5,000 global user surveys and deep visits in 15 typical countries. The homologous global model LEPAS L6 has already entered South Africa and Thailand, and will subsequently enter markets such as the EU, Australia-New Zealand, UK, etc.

And what is truly troublesome for a global car is actually the things that can't be seen on the configuration sheet.

For example, Southeast Asia has heavy water accumulation during the rainy season, and the Fengyun T7 handles 500mm wading; the Middle East faces long-term high temperature and sun exposure; Brazil has gravel roads; Mexico has many cobblestone roads; Northern Europe is not only cold but also has polar night environments. The vehicle validation covers extreme temperature ranges from -40°C to 55°C and 95% of road types.

Even user habits need to be considered.

Thai users prefer a slightly heavier steering feel; Turkish and Israeli users prefer physical buttons. With strong sunlight in Southeast Asia, South Africa, and Australia-New Zealand, the steering wheel and center console must use low-reflection materials. European users are used to backing the car in nose-first; when the distance to the obstacle is 70cm, the front camera automatically displays.

Taken individually, none of these count as "advanced technology".

But I have always felt that the true difficulty in making cars isn't making one parameter exceptionally exaggerated, but getting thousands of inconspicuous things right.

Safety follows this same logic.

The Fengyun T7 body uses 80% high-strength steel, featuring a double-frame subframe, Pack anti-collision beam, and a full-length threshold anti-collision beam, with 9 airbags throughout the vehicle. The battery pack has 31 layers of protection, side anti-compression up to 200kN, and underwent 1,008 hours of salt spray and 105-second fire tests.

Then comes the intelligence that everyone cares about most today.

The Fengyun T7 uses a 4nm 8775 integrated cockpit and driving chip, with computing power of 72TOPS, and the cockpit connects to the Doubao large model; 22 sensor hardware pieces throughout the vehicle enable highway pilot assistance and over 300 automatic parking scenarios.

The space layout is also a standard Chinese family car approach. 4570mm length, 2700mm wheelbase, trunk is 450L normally, maximum can expand to 1,550L. After folding the rear seats, it can form a 1,955×1,310mm completely flat space.

So if looking only at configuration and price, the Fengyun T7 is actually very easy to understand:

Around 100,000 yuan, 600km pure electric range, 178kW motor, independent suspension, smart cockpit and assisted driving, plus making up as much as possible on space, safety, and comfort configurations needed by family users.

But I think what is more worth discussing is the development methodology behind these configurations.

For durability validation, the Fengyun T7 invested 81 dedicated durability test vehicles, with 1.45 million km of actual durability testing. Braking underwent over 10,000 special validations, steering exceeded 19,000 times, and chassis impact over 400 times.

This brings us back to that word "slow" at the beginning of the article.

One of the biggest advantages of the Chinese auto industry in the past decade or so is speed. Fast supply chain, fast R&D, fast decision-making, fast mass production of technology. This of course cannot be lost.

But the automobile has another very special aspect:

Some things can be shortened by efficiency, while some things truly can only be traded for time.

Software can be OTA, chips can be upgraded, smart cockpits can undergo huge changes in half a year. However, body structure, chassis matching, material aging, sealing, durability, and high-low temperature adaptability cannot be proven by a few parameters at a press conference.

You really have to throw it into minus dozens of degrees, then into over fifty degrees; run on highways, run on gravel, run on rough roads, run through water accumulation; run today, run tomorrow, until those problems that usually don't appear come out on their own.

In the past, the Chinese auto industry has proved that it can run fast enough.

The real difficulty in the next stage might be knowing when to slow down even when you have the ability to run very fast.

Slowing down is harder than running fast.

I've seen new car launches with celebrities singing and dancing, but hiring Wu Kequn to discuss 'Steady Happiness' is something I've never seen before.

The Fengyun T7 launch event didn't look like the traditional auto company big screen PPT plus leader narration, but more like a dialogue about 'slowing down'. This car spent nearly four years from 2022 pre-research to now.

In today's industry where it's as if three generations of new cars come out every year, this speed is indeed not fast. But a Chery person said something quite practical: 'Some links you haven't passed the test of time, it's truly not possible to be fast.'

Slow in what way? Slow because it wants to sell to over 130 countries globally. EU crash regulations, Middle East 50-plus degree high heat, Southeast Asia rainy season flooding, Northern Europe minus 40 degree extreme cold, all need adaptation. 81 durability cars, 1.45 million km actual test, 6 million km cumulative verification, covering over 95% of global road conditions.

Even more interesting is that it sold abroad before returning home -- South Africa and Thailand are already on sale, with Indonesia in August and the EU in September following suit. First let overseas buyers help test the ground, then hand a reliable car into your hands, such an experience is indeed quite special.

Back to the product itself, there are a few points of note. The entire series comes standard with 600km range, actual testing reaches 681km. Others exaggerate specs high, it reverse exaggerates specs low. Dual-source wide temperature heat pump plus high-voltage PTC, range increases 30% at minus 10 degrees, Northern users in winter won't be too anxious.

Rear row pure flat floor plus seats folded flat pure flat big bed mode, weekend camping and midday nap quite practical. 80% high-strength steel body, 9 airbags, 31 layers battery protection, IP68 waterproof national standard 96 times over,

Safety configurations also not cut. The smart cabin uses the 8775 chip plus Doubao large model, supports over 300 automatic parking modes and high-speed pilot assistance.

Finally the price, priority trade-in price ranges from 94,900 to 115,900. For just over 100,000 buy 600km range, 80% high-strength steel, 9 airbags, global quality pure electric SUV, truly dare not think two years ago.

At the launch event, Wu Kequn said: 'Steady happiness is not about what you own, but that you no longer worry about losing.' The feeling Fengyun T7 gives me is also the same -- its parameters aren't the most explosive, but driving it makes you feel grounded.

Go overseas first then return home, slow work makes good car. Fengyun T7, comes slow, but comes steady.

Fengyun T7 launch guided price range 9.79‑11.89 ten thousand yuan, priority trade-in price 9.49‑11.59 ten thousand yuan.

Paired with whole vehicle lifetime warranty and other policies, cover user after purchase long-term vehicle use risk.

August 26, Chery Fengyun T7 officially launched, the new car launches 3 trim levels, launch guidance price 97,900 yuan to 118,900 yuan, early trade-in price as low as 94,900 yuan to 115,900 yuan. While "speed" has become the main melody of the new energy industry, this car plays a card that seems out of place - slow. 3-year R&D cycle, 1.45 million km global verification, pre-compliant with 2026 version E-NCAP standards, Fengyun T7 uses a "slow work makes fine work" logic, attempting to tell a story about long-termism in the 100,000-level pure EV SUV market.

Slow Work Builds a Fast Car, A Pure EV SUV Born for the Global Market

Fengyun T7 R&D targeted the global market from the start. Chery's engineering team researched regulations of various countries two years in advance, incorporating user needs from 15 typical countries like Europe, Australia & New Zealand, Southeast Asia directly into product definition. In other words, this car is not for domestic modification then export, but tailored for users in 210 countries and regions from the blueprint stage.

The verification process spared no expense. 81 durability test vehicles, 1.45 million km real road testing, the fleet covered Nordic extreme cold snowfields, Middle East scorching deserts, Southeast Asian humid rainforests. Fengyun T7 not only endures -40°C extreme cold, but stays stable as a rock at 55°C high heat. At the launch, overseas chassis, styling, and R&D engineers collectively endorsed, repeatedly emphasizing one fact: All verifications were driven out by real vehicles, not data simulated in labs.

This obsession with quality is indeed rare in 100,000-level SUVs.

Four Major Product Values, Unlocking Steady Happiness

Super Range: Range Claims Exceeded, No Winter Anxiety

Fengyun T7 full series standard 65.05kWh large capacity battery, CLTC range 600km, but media tests ran 667km, truly a "reverse fake rating". Charging efficiency is also strong, 20 mins from 30% to 80%, top up 300 km in coffee time.

For Northern users' concern about winter range, Fengyun T7 also provided a solution: Full series standard dual-source wide temp range heat pump AC, -10°C environment range improves 30%, -30°C to 55°C extreme temps work stably. Paired with 12-in-1 Kunpeng Super Electric Drive, motor max power 178kW, peak torque 275N·m, max speed up to 180km/h, electric drive comprehensive efficiency up to 90.8%, every kWh put to good use.

Space performance is also remarkable. Car length 4570mm, width 1852mm, height 1694mm, wheelbase 2700mm, space utilization rate up to 84%. Rear floor pure flat, full load not cramped. Pure flat bed mode fold rear seats becomes a 1955mm x 1310mm bed, camping nap all set. 9-layer cloud-sense comfortable seats sit comfortable enough, 3-level heat plus vent, not cold in winter not stuffy in summer.

Beautiful Global: Eastern Aesthetics, Global Resonance

Fengyun T7 design by global top 10 design centers, 100+ designers collaborated, also brought 5000+ users for co-creation. Same-origin model LEPAS L6 unveiled at Milan Design Week, received many international praises, proving this "Eastern Wind Aesthetics" indeed moves people. 0.286Cd ultra-low drag coefficient in same class belongs to leading level. Among 6 exclusive colors Hot Orange uses luxury-grade tri-coat process, 8 layers spray, texture fully maximized.

Safer: High Materials Build Real Strength

Fengyun T7 also spends heavily on invisible parts. High strength steel ratio reaches 80%, hot-formed steel ratio 18.84%, far exceeds class average. 9 horizontal 5 vertical cage body structure, plus class-unique shotgun structure, collision effectively disperses impact force. Dual-frame subframe matches Pack crash beam, protects cabin and battery pack, one more force path in collision equals one more safety.

9 airbags most in class, even rear side airbags and far-end airbags fully equipped. Battery protection reached IP68 level, underwater soaking no fear, national standard 96x waterproof standard, wading calmly in rainy season, 500mm wading depth no pressure.

Highway pilot assist can predict lane change 500 meters ahead, long-distance travel much easier. Full series standard AGS smart grille reduces drag and ensures heat dissipation, detail design quite thoughtful.

Global Car True Form, More Than a Slogan

Fengyun T7 "Global Quality" is not marketing talk on the lips. Same-origin model LEPAS L6 already launched in South Africa, Thailand etc., later will enter EU, Australia & NZ etc. markets. August 12 opened pre-sale, 72 hours big deposit locked orders break 10,937 units, 9 days pre-sale break 16,787 units, market feedback quite positive. At Chengdu Auto Show, overseas car tour scene ordering on site, perhaps is the best footnote for this 100,000-level pure EV SUV globalization ambition.

When most brands still competing on who launches cards faster, Fengyun T7 chose a path to slow down. Using 3 years to polish a 100,000-level car, starting from 97,900 yuan, full series 600km range, this account how to calculate, market is giving answer. # Fengyun T7 Officially Launched Starting from 94,900 Yuan

August 26, Chery Fengyun T7 officially launched domestically. The new car is positioned as a compact pure electric SUV, offering three configurations. The official guide price is 97,900-118,900 Yuan, with a priority exchange price of 94,900-115,900 Yuan. Unlike the model of most vehicles selling domestically first and then making adaptive modifications for the overseas market, Fengyun T7 focuses on the Native Global Car concept. The overseas source model LepasL6 has already been launched in South Africa and Thailand, with plans to enter markets such as Indonesia, EU, Australia & New Zealand in the future. This launch belongs to returning to domestic sales after completing global verification.

In the current background where the iteration pace of the new energy industry is accelerating and many new car R&D cycles are compressed, Fengyun T7 conveys the development philosophy of Slow Craftsmanship Builds Good Cars to the outside. According to official disclosed information, the entire vehicle R&D cycle is 3 years. It promotes the project relying on Chery's 1+7+N global R&D system, conducted global regulation pre-research two years in advance, developed against 2026 E-NCAP safety standards, and is not simply modifying the domestic model after completion for the overseas market. 5,000+ global user surveys were completed in the project stage, covering 15 typical national vehicle usage scenarios. Adaptation adjustments were made for driving habits and road conditions of different regions, including right-hand drive version development, steering feel tuning, physical button retention, low reflection interior materials, etc., comprising over 80 localization detail optimizations. 81 durability test vehicles were invested in the entire vehicle, cumulatively completing 1.45 million km actual vehicle road verification. Test environments covered a temperature range of -40°C to 55°C, completing trials in seven extreme environments such as high temperature, extreme cold, high humidity, and high salinity. Special tests such as wading, salt mist, chassis impact, and brake durability were executed according to global market requirements. Overseas R&D, chassis, and styling engineers also participated in the launch event to showcase the global collaborative development background.

From the market feedback perspective, Fengyun T7 opened pre-sale on August 12. Official data shows 10,937 units of locked orders within 72 hours, and pre-sale orders broke 16,787 units within 9 days. During the Chengdu Auto Show, overseas influencers viewed the car on-site and placed orders; during this launch event, a delivery ceremony was held simultaneously, achieving delivery upon launch, with overseas users in China also becoming the first batch of owners. Meanwhile, the Associated Press released relevant reports on this model. The source model LepasL6 had previously appeared at the Milan Design Week, garnering attention from overseas media. Chery itself possesses the industry foundation of being the number one exporter of Chinese brand passenger cars for 23 consecutive years, with cumulative global users breaking 20 million, providing basic endorsement for the global positioning of this model.

On the product hardware level, Fengyun T7 is equipped with a 65.05kWh Rhino Battery across all systems. CLTC range is 600km, official actual measured range can reach over 667km. 30%-80% fast charging takes 20 minutes. Battery cycle life can reach 2,500 times, with a rated service life of 15 years. All trims are equipped with Dual-source Wide Temperature Range Heat Pump + High Voltage PTC as standard. It is advertised that range can increase by 30% in -10°C environments, adapting to winter use in the north. It is equipped with 12-in-1 Kunpeng Super Electric Drive. Peak power is 178kW, maximum torque is 275N・m, maximum vehicle speed is 180km/h. AGS Intelligent Grille is also standard across all systems, used to optimize the vehicle's air resistance performance, with a vehicle drag coefficient of 0.286Cd.

Body dimensions are 4570×1852×1694mm, wheelbase is 2700mm, interior space efficiency is 84%, and the rear floor is purely flat. Rear seats support 40/60 split folding. After expansion, it can form a 1955mm×1310mm purely flat space. Trunk volume is 450L as standard, with a maximum expanded volume of 1550L. It includes internal compartment storage and sunken storage areas. Seats use a 9-layer Composite Cloud-feel Structure. High-end versions provide heating and ventilation functions. The cabin offers Warm Brown Black and Polar Night Obsidian two interior color schemes. There are six exterior paint options available: Crimson Flame Orange, Mountain Smoke Purple, Cloud Pink Beige, Flowing Light Silver, Bamboo Green Grey, and Ink Stone Black. Among them, Crimson Flame Orange uses multi-layer luxury car paint technology.

Intelligence is the key configuration for this car, equipped with a 4nm process 8775 Cabin-Driving Integrated Chip. NPU computing power is 72TOPS. The cockpit is a 15.6-inch 2.5K central control screen, supporting mainstream mobile phone connectivity like CarPlay, HiCar, CarLink. Lingshi Smart Cockpit 2.0 integrates Doubao Large Model, providing multiple voice personas. At the same time, it includes scenarios like Nap, Camping, Baby, etc. Some scenarios require subsequent OTA upgrade to unlock. High-end versions are equipped with Falcon 500 Intelligent Driving System. The whole vehicle is equipped with 3 millimeter-wave radars, 7 cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, totaling 22 sensors. It supports Highway Pilot Assist, 300+ Scene Automatic Parking, 100-meter Trail Reversing, Multi-floor Memory Parking, and other functions. Intelligent driving hardware and functions are only provided in high-end versions; entry-level versions do not have advanced assisted driving capabilities.

Placed in the 100,000-level Pure Electric SUV segment, Fengyun T7 uses the Native Global Car label as a selling point. All systems unify 600km range, forming differentiation in a market environment where most models in the same price range have range grading by trim level. At the same time, it downgrades configurations from previously higher price ranges, such as Cabin-Driving Integrated Chips, Multiple Airbags, Wide Temperature Range Heat Pump, and Advanced Parking Assist, to this price segment. However, it needs to be viewed objectively. The vehicle is designed against the 2026 E-NCAP target and has not yet obtained formal certification results; overseas market performance still needs to be observed after subsequent launch; full intelligent driving hardware is only given to high-end trims, and entry-level model intelligent auxiliary configurations are relatively basic.

Overall, Fengyun T7 hopes to rely on global development standards and unified long-range configurations to compete for household pure electric SUV market share. Subsequent market reputation, actual range performance, and intelligent driving implementation completion will become the key factors for whether this car can stand firmly in the market.

On August 26, the all-new pure electric compact SUV - Fengyun T7 from Chery Fengyun series was officially launched. The new car offers 3 configurations, with an official guide price of 97,900–118,900 Yuan, and a priority trade-in price of 94,900–115,900 Yuan. All trims come with a CLTC range of 600 km, and delivery starts immediately upon launch.

In the fierce competition of the domestic new energy market where models are revised every half year and replaced every year, Fengyun T7 took the opposite path: it is not a model made for the domestic market and then exported with a badge, but one developed for the global market from the very beginning. The homologous model Lepas L6 has already landed in South Africa and Thailand, and will enter markets such as the EU, Australia & New Zealand, UK, Israel, etc. next. As Chery puts it, this is a "Native Global Car".

Three Years to Sharpen a Sword, Where is the "Slowness"?

The R&D cycle of Fengyun T7 is 3 years, which counts as "slow" in today's Chinese car market. However, this "slowness" is not due to low efficiency, but a different development logic.

Most brands' approach is: after the domestic model is finalized, regulatory adaptation and local modifications are made for export markets, with short cycles and low costs, but essentially it is "making do". The path of Fengyun T7 is the opposite - pre-researching global regulations 2 years in advance, designing the body according to the 2026 version E-NCAP standards, and putting 15 typical national usage scenarios and more than 5,000 global user survey reports into the product definition phase in advance.

The verification phase is also the same. 81 durability test vehicles, 1.45 million km total verification mileage, covering an extreme temperature range from -40°C to 55°C, and more than 100 kinds of extreme road conditions and environments - 500mm wading during the Southeast Asia rainy season, Middle East high-temperature sun exposure, Siberia snow/rain low temperatures, Brazil gravel roads, Mexico cobblestone roads, all are real vehicle global road tests, not laboratory bench data.

At the press conference, overseas chassis engineers, styling engineers, and R&D engineers appeared together, talking not about parameters on the PPT, but about the real problems encountered during road tests in different countries and the solutions. This method of "Global Engineer Endorsement" is not common in 100,000 Yuan-class models.

Super Performance: 600km Range is Standard, Not High-Spec

Power and range are the parts of Fengyun T7 that require the least worry - all three configurations come standard with the 65.05kWh Rhino battery, CLTC range 600 km, and the official statement says the actual range can exceed 667 km, belonging to the path of "reverse false labeling".

Regarding charging, 30%-80% SOC fast charging takes 20 minutes, and the charging efficiency is mainstream for this price range. The battery cycle life exceeds 2,500 times, and based on normal household frequency, the battery does not need to be replaced during the whole vehicle usage cycle.

The electric drive system is the 12-in-1 integrated Kunpeng Super Power Electric Drive, peak power 178kW, maximum torque 275N·m, maximum speed 180 km/h, comprehensive efficiency 90.8%. The parameters are not top-tier among peer pure electric SUVs, but enough - 0 to 100 km/h acceleration is not disclosed, but judging from power output, it should be around 8 seconds, more than enough for household use.

Winter range is a pain point for northern users. Fengyun T7 comes standard with dual-source wide temperature range heat pump AC + high-voltage PTC. Official data says range improves by 30% at minus 10°C, and stable operation at a wide temperature range of -30°C to 55°C. With 14 low-drag design items compressing the drag coefficient to 0.286Cd, theoretically the winter range deduction will be smaller than many models in the same level.

More Safe: Body Materials and Battery Protection are Key Points

Regarding safety, Fengyun T7's body structure has a few points worth mentioning.

High-strength steel content accounts for 80%, hot-formed steel content accounts for 18.84%. This ratio belongs to the upper level among 100,000 Yuan-class pure electric SUVs. The body adopts a nine-transverse five-longitudinal cage structure, with 6 front collision and 9 side collision load paths, and a unique shotgun structure at the same level increases the frontal collision load path.

Battery protection is a 6D Chainmail Lock structure, 31 layers of protection, IP68 waterproof rating is 96 times the national standard, side anti-crushing 200kN is 2 times the national standard, salt spray test 1,008 hours. Translating these numbers into plain language: rainy season waterlogging, road water accumulation, side scraping crushing, high-salt coastal environments, the battery pack redundancy is much higher than regulatory requirements.

The number of airbags is 9, including far-side airbags rare at the same level - that airbag between the driver and co-driver, which prevents head-to-head impact of front seat passengers during side collisions. This configuration usually appears in higher-level models.

Regarding the chassis, the international team led by a former Maserati chassis tuning expert is responsible, with specialized tuning for the ultra-high-speed section above 160 km/h. 50.8:49.2 front and rear axle weight ratio, 560mm center of gravity height, plus 70mm large-size bushings and One-Box electronic braking (136ms pressure build-up), the actual driving quality should be more solid than many pure electric SUVs at the same price.

Space and Comfort: Household Essentials Fully Satisfied

Fengyun T7's body dimensions are 4570/1852/1694mm, wheelbase 2700mm, a standard compact SUV build. But the interior efficiency rate reached 84%, rear legroom 911mm, floor fully flat, even with three full passengers it won't be too cramped.

Rear seats support 4/6 folding, after folding forms a 1955mm×1310mm flat space, which is what the official calls "Flat Bed Mode". This dimension is the largest among peers, suitable for outdoor camping, long-distance parking lunch breaks, etc.

Seats are cloud-feel seats with a 9-layer composite structure, with three levels of heating and ventilation, heating area 0.2㎡, seat cushion and backrest double heating, 5 minutes to heat from -20°C to 30°C quickly. Ventilation uses 3D-mesh soft ventilation, not that direct blowing fan type, noise below 38dB.

Storage space is also considered in detail: trunk conventional 450L, max expansion 1550L, with 19L privacy compartment and 99L sunken storage; driver and co-driver each have an umbrella slot, wet umbrellas won't wet the carpet; 50W wireless charging, 3 Type-C + 1 USB interface, these are all high-frequency household demands.

Good Intelligence: 8775 Chip + Falcon 500 Intelligent Driving

The core of the intelligent cockpit is the 8775 Cockpit-Drive Integrated Chip, 4nm process, 72 TOPS NPU computing power, peer-first launch. Integration increased by 60% compared to the previous generation, startup speed increased by 33%, system response latency 80ms.

The central control is a 15.6-inch 2.5K screen, 1000nit brightness, with anti-glare, anti-reflection, anti-fingerprint coating. The car system adopts Lingxi Cockpit 2.0, connects Doubao Large Model, supports Xiao Qi Chat, with six types of real-person voice roles such as Northeast Auntie, Quarrel Master, Language Teacher. Whole brand mobile phone direct connection, CarPlay, HiCar, CarLink all supported, covering 99%+ of phones.

The intelligent driving system is called Falcon 500, perception hardware is 3 mmWave radars + 7 cameras + 12 ultrasonic radars, total 22 sensors. Supports 300+ scenario automatic parking, including remote parking entry, off-vehicle parking, cross-floor parking, 100m track reverse; Highway Pilot Assist can pre-judge lane changes and ramp merging 500m in advance.

Need to explain, Falcon 500 should be the configuration of the high-spec Intelligence Edition, medium-low spec intelligent driving capabilities will vary.

Editor Dao's Observation

For this Fengyun T7 car, the most interesting place is not the parameters, but its product logic.

100,000 Yuan-class pure electric SUV is one of the most fierce competitive sub-segments in the Chinese car market. BYD Yuan PLUS, Aion Y Younger, Geely Geometry and other models have rolled prices and configurations to the extreme. Fengyun T7 did not fight to the death on "who is cheaper", but told a "Native Global Car" story - this car of mine is developed according to the highest global standards, has already been tested in overseas markets, and now sold to domestic consumers at a 100,000 Yuan price.

Whether this story can move users, ultimately depends on product power and reputation. But from hard indicators, Fengyun T7 indeed has some things rarely seen at this price: 9 Airbags, 4nm Cockpit-Drive Chip, Maserati Team Chassis Tuning, 1.45 Million km Global Road Test, All-trim 600km Range. Plus 97,900 Yuan starting price and 94,900 Yuan trade-in price, cost-performance is sufficient.

Pre-sale data can also explain some issues: pre-sale opened on August 12, 72-hour large order lock-in 10,937 units, 9 days break 16,787 units. In this price segment, this pre-sale result is quite good.

Chery has ranked first in Chinese brand passenger car exports for 23 consecutive years, global users broke 20 million, products sold to 130+ overseas markets. Fengyun T7 is Chery's attempt to reverse import overseas experience to domestic - if this road is walked through, there may be more "Go Global First, Then Come Home" models in the future.

Fengyun T7 is already launched, delivery also started synchronously. This "slow work produces fine work" Native Global Car, can it carve out a path in the 100,000 Yuan-class pure electric SUV market, sales data in the next few months will give the answer.

In the current hyper-competitive new energy vehicle market, the launch pace of new cars is getting faster. Some brands blindly chase speed, compressing R&D and testing cycles, giving rise to the industry-talked-about "fast-track vehicle" phenomenon. Consumers effectively become real-world vehicle testers, hiding potential issues in reliability and durability, reported by People's Daily. The market also begins to reflect: Should a truly reliable home electric vehicle pursue launch speed or product substance? The newly presold Fengyun T7 gives a different answer: # Global Cars Cannot Be Rushed #, rejecting fast-track vehicle making, insisting on slow craftsmanship to build good cars. First refined through the global market, then returning to the domestic market. Presale price starting from 109,900-129,900 CNY. This idea of "reverse overseas launch then return home" is worth discussing well.Fengyun T7 

Many have questions. In an environment where speed and orders are competed for, why did Fengyun T7 choose "slow"? This slowness isn't low efficiency, but putting a lot of work upfront. The vehicle underwent 2 years of planning and 3 years of complete R&D, relying on Chery's global 1+7+N R&D system, not rushing to land and launch quickly. Before domestic presale, the homologous model Lepas L6 has already landed in the South African and Thai markets. Markets in Indonesia, the EU, Australia/New Zealand, etc., will also sequentially launch. It belongs to experiencing diverse global road conditions overseas first, then selling to domestic family users. This model forms a sharp contrast with many products that "launch domestically first, then simply modify to go overseas".Lepas L6 

"Slow" is reflected in every link of R&D, design, and verification. In the design phase, it gathered 5,000+ global users for co-creation, with over 100 designers working together to polish. The homologous model won international recognition at the Milan Design Week. On the safety level, it directly benchmarks the strict 2026 E-NCAP safety standards, developing according to overseas high regulations from the source, rather than adapting and correcting after domestic launch. The verification link shows sincerity most. 963 test vehicles were invested, completing 1.45 million km of durability verification, spanning five extreme environments: high temperature, extreme cold, high humidity, and high salt-alkali. Nordic extreme cold, Southeast Asian rainstorms, bumpy roads in Brazil, and exposure in the Middle East were all tested with real vehicles. 500mm water wading depth, dual-source heat pump to cope with sub-zero extreme cold, solving all possible fault hidden dangers encountered everywhere in the world before delivering to users.dual-source heat pump.

Placed in the 100,000-130,000 CNY pure electric SUV segment, Fengyun T7 is not just telling "global stories"; product power also falls on the six major needs of ordinary families for real car use. Appearance balances global aesthetics and Eastern elegance, with 6 exclusive paint colors. On safety, nine horizontal five vertical cage body, 80% high-strength steel ratio, standard 9 airbags. Rhino Battery has 6D armor multi-layer protection. Full series equality gives CLTC 600km range, actual test up to 667km, saying goodbye to range anxiety. Equipped with peer-first 4nm process 8775 cockpit-drive integrated chip, 300+ scene automatic parking solves parking difficulties. 2700mm wheelbase brings 84% interior space rate, rear seats fold flat into a 1955mm large bed, capable of camping and long-distance rest. Moreover, whole vehicle lifetime warranty, battery thermal runaway compensation new car, intelligent driving up to 5 million CNY bottom-line rights, solving the worries of car use together.Rhino Battery.

There is a current misconception in the industry; many believe new energy modular platforms can compress R&D verification cycles infinitely. But modular is to improve efficiency, not equal to cutting off necessary environment tests and durability road tests. Fast, can quickly get traffic; slow, can only precipitate long-term reliable quality. Fengyun T7's "slow" is precisely the microcosm of the new energy market returning to rationality. 100,000-class home electric car, users buy not just big screens, flashy parameters, but also the travel safety of being stable and reliable for years, not having glitches in extreme environments.

Of course, slow car making does not mean leaving the market. Fengyun T7 presale price starting from 109,900 CNY, giving products verified by millions of kilometers globally to ordinary domestic families. When the industry is keen on competing on "how long it takes to make a car", Fengyun T7 tells us consumers care more how many years this car can accompany us safely. # Global Cars Cannot Be Rushed #, slow craftsmanship makes good cars, this persistence in quality might be the true appearance home pure electric should have.

CX-3 Expected to Return! Mazda Reveals Teaser for All-New Small SUV, Appearing as Early as 2027

The classic Mazda small SUV CX-3 is about to welcome a new generation! In Mazda's recently public financial data, a new car photo with camouflage coating accidentally leaked out, labeled as "Next-generation CX-3", which also confirms the rumor, confirming that the new generation CX-3 is under development.

Judging from the leaked camouflage spy photos, the all-new CX-3 remains positioned as a small SUV, but the body proportions are more solid and substantial compared to the current model, and the body height and overall stance are closer to the CX-30. The front features characteristics of Mazda's latest Kodo design language, including a larger grille and sleeker headlight contours. However, the whole vehicle is still covered in heavy camouflage, and the final appearance needs to wait for the official release to be confirmed.

The CX-3 was first launched in 2014, with its compact body, crossover sports style, and agile handling, it gained many users in some overseas markets. In recent years, Mazda's SUV product line has expanded continuously, CX-30 and CX-5 have become the brand's sales mainstays, but the CX-3 continues to sell in some overseas markets, enough to explain that there is still considerable demand in the small SUV market.

This time the new generation CX-3 returns, expected to continue bearing Mazda's entry-level SUV positioning, making a clear product distinction from the CX-30. If the new car maintains a smaller body size and is priced lower than the CX-30, it has the opportunity to attract young consumer groups purchasing an SUV for the first time who value the convenience of urban parking.

As for powertrains, the official side has not yet released any information. Outsiders speculate that the all-new CX-3 will be equipped with gasoline engines with higher thermal efficiency, and a hybrid version may also be launched to adapt to global emission and energy-saving regulations that are becoming increasingly strict. However, there are no definite conclusions currently regarding engine displacement, power parameters, transmission configuration, and whether the hybrid version will materialize.

Combining relevant information from Mazda's financial data, the new generation CX-3 is planned to start landing in markets such as Japan and Southeast Asia in 2027, with Thailand possibly serving as the main production base. Whether this car can expand to more regional markets in the future is also worth continued attention.

Interestingly, with Mazda's existing CX-30, CX-5, and multiple SUVs, after the new generation CX-3 returns, there must be a clear product positioning. It can serve as the brand's true entry-level small SUV, or rely on outstanding exterior design and handling characteristics to take a differentiated product route from the CX-30.

Although this camouflage spy photo has not revealed too many details, it has already released a clear signal: the CX-3 has not ended and is about to return to the Mazda SUV product matrix in a brand new posture. As for the final appearance, power configuration, and regional introduction plans, we still need to wait for Mazda's subsequent official announcement.
