Aistaland GX7 Launches With Up to 1,580 km Range

Aistaland GX7 Launches With Three Variants

Aistaland GX7 has launched as the second model from the brand jointly developed by GAC Group and Huawei. The five-seat extended-range SUV debuted on September 23 with three variants and limited-time prices ranging from 229,900 yuan to 291,900 yuan. Official guide prices range from 239,900 yuan to 301,900 yuan. The promotional pricing includes a 10,000 yuan discount on the final payment, placing the SUV below its 249,900-yuan to 311,900-yuan pre-sales range. Buyers can also receive an additional 8,000 yuan trade-in subsidy, reducing promotional prices to between 221,900 yuan and 283,900 yuan.

GX7 Powertrain Options and Performance

The rear-wheel-drive Ultra version starts at 229,900 yuan under the limited-time offer, while the dual-motor all-wheel-drive version costs 249,900 yuan and the tri-motor all-wheel-drive version is priced at 291,900 yuan. All three variants use a 1.5-liter turbocharged range extender. The rear-wheel-drive model produces 200 kW, or 268 horsepower, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds. The dual-motor configuration delivers 340 kW and completes the same sprint in 4.9 seconds. The tri-motor model generates 550 kW and reaches 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.

Battery Capacity and Driving Range

The GX7 uses batteries supplied by CATL, with available packs including a 52 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and a 67 kWh ternary lithium battery. Depending on the configuration, CLTC battery-only range is between 325 km and 385 km, while combined range reaches between 1,500 km and 1,580 km. The tri-motor version uses an 800-volt electrical platform and supports 5C fast charging. Its battery can charge from 30% to 80% in 10 minutes, while the other two variants require 15 minutes for the same charging range.

Huawei Assisted Driving and Smart Cabin Technology

Smart technology is a central feature of the GX7, which is among the first models to use Huawei's Qiankun ADS 5 assisted-driving system. The SUV has four LiDAR units and 38 perception sensors, including an 896-channel dual-optical-path LiDAR. Aistaland said the GX7 is the only model in its class with an architecture designed for Level 3 autonomous driving. The architecture incorporates redundancy across eight areas: power supply, steering, braking, communications, positioning, computing, perception, and interaction. These systems are intended to support the vehicle's advanced driver-assistance and automated-driving architecture.

GX7 Dimensions and Interior Features

The Aistaland GX7 measures 5,099 mm in length, 2,006 mm in width, and 1,750 mm in height, with a 3,070 mm wheelbase. Inside, the SUV uses Huawei's HarmonySpace 6 cockpit system and features dual 15.6-inch displays. The cabin also includes an 88-inch augmented-reality head-up display and a 21-speaker Huawei Sound audio system. The combination of a large cabin interface, augmented-reality display, and integrated audio system positions the GX7 around technology-focused features alongside its extended-range powertrain and assisted-driving hardware.

Competitive Position and Brand Strategy

The GX7 enters a competitive family SUV segment alongside the Aito M7, Li Auto's Li L6, and Xiaomi's YU7. Aistaland is one of the brands Huawei has developed under a newer partnership model that operates separately from the Huawei-led HIMA, or Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance. A Huawei team is based in Guangzhou and works alongside GAC, while GAC is responsible for vehicle development and manufacturing. This operating model gives the GX7 a combination of GAC's manufacturing role and Huawei's contribution to smart-driving and cockpit technology.

Aistaland Seeks Stronger Sales Momentum

The GX7 arrives as Aistaland seeks to build momentum after a slow start for its first model, the GT7, which launched on June 26. According to GAC data, Aistaland sold 2,658 vehicles in July, followed by a 58.62% month-over-month decline to 1,100 vehicles in August. The GX7 targets the family SUV market, which is substantially larger than the shooting-brake segment addressed by the GT7. Its broader vehicle format therefore gives Aistaland another opportunity to expand its customer base and increase sales through a model positioned in a larger segment.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The GX7 expands Aistaland's presence in the family SUV market while combining extended-range propulsion, high-voltage charging, and Huawei-developed assisted-driving and cockpit technologies. Its launch also places the brand in direct competition with established models from Aito, Li Auto, and Xiaomi in a segment with broader consumer relevance than the GT7's shooting-brake category. The immediate significance will depend on how effectively Aistaland converts the GX7's pricing, range, performance, and technology package into sustained deliveries. The model's sales performance will also provide an indication of whether the GAC-Huawei partnership model can broaden the brand's market reach.
