Equipped with an end-to-end human-like intelligent driving GAC Chuanqi SUV, looking forward to S7 listing.

On the evening of March 30th, GAC Chuanqi’s brand-new medium and large SUVS7 was officially launched. Six new models were launched, with a guide price range of 175,800-229,800 yuan and a limited-time price of 169,800-223,800 yuan. After adding the national replacement subsidy, the price further dropped to 154,800-208,800 yuan.

As the brand’s first production car equipped with a high-level intelligent driving system, the new car is built on the new energy platform of Guangzhou Automobile EV+, and it cuts into the market with the dual core of plug-in and intelligent driving, facing the needs of home users for long battery life, intelligence and high cost performance.

Chuanqi yearns for S7 to adopt the design language of "hiding the front and embellishing it", with a closed front face with a 2618mm penetrating light strip and a split headlight group, and a built-in 2248 beads, which supports the upgrade of OTA light language and the interaction with breathing light, and the recognition is full at night. On the side of the car body, the suspended roof, hidden door handle and 20-inch spoke wheel hub enhance the sense of technology, and the tail is similar to a zigzag through the light group and the dynamic light effect echoes the front face design, giving consideration to the sense of strength and futurity. The new car offers five basic color schemes and two-piece/matte options to meet individual needs.

The interior of the new car takes the 270 embracing cockpit as the core, and is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip and ADiGO 6.0 system, which supports four-tone voice interaction and 27-inch W-HUD head-up display, realizing "visible and controllable". For family travel scenes, the rear row is equipped with a 17.3-inch 3K ceiling screen, a 22-speaker Dolby panoramic sound response and a 20L cold and warm refrigerator, giving consideration to entertainment and practicality. In terms of intelligent driving, the new car is equipped with NVIDIA Orin-X chip (254TOPS computing power) and 11 cameras+laser radar combination. The self-developed end-to-end system of GAC covers 357 sub-scenarios, such as urban/high-speed NDA and extreme parking spaces, and the intelligent driving function in urban areas is free for life, which significantly reduces the threshold for users to adopt advanced intelligent driving.

In terms of power, the new car offers the choice of plug-in and extended-range power. The plug-in version is equipped with a plug-in system consisting of a 1.5T engine, and provides a single-motor version and a dual-motor version. Among them, the maximum power of the 1.5T engine is 118kW, the single-motor version is equipped with a 170kW front drive motor, and the four-wheel drive version is equipped with a 170kW/80kW front and rear dual motors. CLTC has a pure battery life of 180-205km and a comprehensive battery life of 1020-1150km. The whole system supports 17-minute fast charge (30%-80%) and 6kW external discharge, taking into account the long-distance endurance anxiety relief and outdoor power demand.

From the perspective of positioning and pricing, we look forward to popular models such as S7 sword finger and so on. Compared with the ideal L6, its limited-time starting price is as low as 154,800 yuan (after subsidy), and it offers lidar version and four-wheel drive options, so its intelligent driving function and endurance performance are more competitive. At the same price, Chery Fengyun T10 and other models are also difficult to fully compete with them in the intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving configuration.

Conclusion:

In 2025, the competition in the large and medium-sized new energy SUV market is fierce, and Chuanqi yearns for S7 to cut in with the strategy of "high entry price", filling the gap of the brand in the 200,000-class smart SUV market. Combined with leapfrog configuration, full-scene intelligent driving and technical accumulation of GAC Chuanqi in the hybrid field, the new car is expected to become a new choice for home users. If the terminal channel and service experience are improved simultaneously, it will become the key engine to drive the sales growth of Chuanqi.
