Aistaland GX7 Pre-Sales Open With 3 EREV Variants

Aistaland GX7 Enters Pre-Sales With Three EREV Variants

Aistaland GX7 pre-sales began Friday as Aistaland, jointly created by GAC Group and Huawei, expanded beyond shooting brakes into the substantially larger family SUV market. The model is offered exclusively as an extended-range electric vehicle, with pre-sales prices ranging from 249,900 yuan ($36,870) to 311,900 yuan across three variants. The company has not yet announced an official launch date, although the GX7 is expected to arrive this fall. Its positioning gives Aistaland a broader opportunity to reach customers seeking a family-oriented SUV with advanced electric powertrain and smart-driving capabilities.

Pricing and Powertrain Choices Target Major SUV Rivals

The rear-wheel-drive Ultra version carries a pre-sales price of 249,900 yuan, while the dual-motor all-wheel-drive model costs 269,900 yuan and the triple-motor all-wheel-drive version is priced at 311,900 yuan. The GX7 measures 5,099 mm in length, 2,006 mm in width and 1,750 mm in height, with a 3,070 mm wheelbase. Its stated competitors include the Aito M7, Li Auto's Li L6 and Xiaomi's YU7, placing the new SUV against established and highly visible models in China's competitive family SUV market.

Advanced Driver Assistance Is a Core Selling Point

Smart technology is positioned as the GX7's most prominent selling point, with the SUV among the first models to use Huawei's Qiankun ADS 5 driver-assistance system. The vehicle incorporates four LiDAR units and 38 sensing devices, including one 896-channel dual-optical-path image-grade LiDAR and three high-precision solid-state LiDARs. Aistaland says the GX7 employs an eight-fold redundancy architecture designed for L3 autonomous driving. Its driver-assistance functions include parking space-to-parking space 3.0, remote parking after occupants exit the vehicle, and gesture-controlled parking exit, emphasizing automated maneuvering and parking capabilities.

Cabin Technology Adds Large Displays and Flexible Seating

The GX7 also emphasizes an advanced cabin experience through one of the first applications of HarmonySpace 6 and a dual-screen setup using two 15.6-inch displays. Its rear seats can fold down in 20 seconds, creating a seamless 180-degree flat surface intended to improve interior flexibility. The vehicle further offers a 32-inch in-car projection display and a 46-inch outdoor projection display. An integrated Huawei Sound audio system uses 21 independent speakers, combining large-format visual functions, flexible seating and premium audio technology as part of the SUV's technology-focused positioning.

Three Powertrain Layouts Deliver Different Performance Levels

The GX7 uses a 1.5T range extender and is offered with three powertrain layouts: single-motor rear-wheel drive, dual-motor all-wheel drive and triple-motor all-wheel drive. The triple-motor version produces a peak output of 550 kW and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. The other two versions complete the same sprint in 7.6 seconds and 4.9 seconds, respectively. This configuration gives Aistaland the ability to cover different performance requirements within one SUV family, from the rear-wheel-drive entry configuration to the highest-output all-wheel-drive model.

800-Volt Architecture Enables Sub-10-Minute Fast Charging

All GX7 variants use batteries supplied by CATL, with battery choices including a 52-kWh lithium iron phosphate pack and a 67-kWh ternary lithium battery. The SUV's 800-volt platform supports 5C fast charging, allowing the battery to charge from 30% to 80% in less than 10 minutes. Depending on the selected variant, CLTC battery range is between 325 km and 385 km, while combined range reaches between 1,500 km and 1,580 km. These specifications combine rapid charging with extended total driving capability, addressing two important considerations for customers evaluating electrified SUVs.

GAC and Huawei Use a Collaborative Development Model

Aistaland is one of the brands Huawei has created with Chinese automakers under a new collaboration model. Huawei has a team stationed in Guangzhou that works alongside Aistaland employees, while GAC Group is responsible for vehicle development and manufacturing. The arrangement separates responsibilities between technology and automotive execution while keeping the two organizations closely involved in the brand's operations. The model reflects Aistaland's broader strategy of combining Huawei's software, intelligent-driving and cockpit technologies with GAC's vehicle development and manufacturing capabilities.

GX7 Becomes Important to Aistaland's Sales Expansion

Aistaland's first model, the GT7, launched on June 26, but its initial sales performance has remained limited. According to data released by GAC, Aistaland sold 2,658 vehicles in July, followed by 1,100 units in August, representing a 58.62% month-on-month decline. The GX7 therefore carries greater strategic importance because it enters the much larger family SUV market rather than the more specialized shooting-brake segment occupied by the GT7. Expanding into this broader category gives Aistaland a potentially larger customer base and makes the GX7 central to the brand's efforts to increase sales scale.
