Aistaland GX7 Pre-Sales Open With Advanced Huawei Technology

Aistaland GX7 Opens Pre-Sales as Brand Expands Into Family SUVs

Aistaland, jointly created by GAC Group and Huawei, has begun pre-sales for the Aistaland GX7, marking the brand's expansion from shooting brakes into the substantially larger family SUV market. The new model is offered exclusively as an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV), with pre-sales prices ranging from 249,900 yuan ($36,870) to 311,900 yuan across three variants. Aistaland has not yet announced the official launch date, although the GX7 is expected to arrive in the fall. The model's introduction gives the brand a new opportunity to address a broader customer base and build sales volume beyond its first vehicle.

Three GX7 Variants Offer Rear- and All-Wheel Drive

The GX7 lineup starts with the rear-wheel-drive Ultra at a pre-sales price of 249,900 yuan. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive version is priced at 269,900 yuan, while the triple-motor all-wheel-drive version costs 311,900 yuan before its official launch. The SUV measures 5,099 mm in length, 2,006 mm in width and 1,750 mm in height, with a 3,070 mm wheelbase. Its competitive set includes the Aito M7, Li Auto's Li L6 and Xiaomi's YU7. By entering this larger SUV category, Aistaland is targeting a segment with substantially greater market potential than the shooting-brake market occupied by its first model.

Huawei Driver Assistance Technology Is a Major GX7 Selling Point

Smart technology is positioned as one of the GX7's most prominent selling points. The model is among the first vehicles to use Huawei's Qiankun ADS 5 driver-assistance system and incorporates four LiDAR units alongside 38 sensing devices. Its hardware package includes one 896-channel, dual-optical-path, image-grade LiDAR and three high-precision solid-state LiDARs. Aistaland says the vehicle employs an eight-fold redundancy architecture designed for L3 autonomous driving. Available functions include parking space-to-parking space 3.0, remote parking after occupants exit the vehicle and gesture-controlled parking exit, highlighting the model's emphasis on advanced driver assistance and automated parking capabilities.

Connected Cockpit Adds Flexible Passenger and Entertainment Features

The GX7 also emphasizes the passenger experience through a technology-focused cockpit. It is among the first models to use HarmonySpace 6 and features two 15.6-inch displays. The rear seats can fold down in 20 seconds, creating a seamless 180-degree flat surface that increases interior flexibility. The vehicle further includes a 32-inch in-car projection display and a 46-inch outdoor projection display. An integrated Huawei Sound audio system uses 21 independent speakers. Together, these features position the GX7 as more than a conventional family SUV, combining adaptable interior space with large-format displays and an extensive in-vehicle entertainment system.

Three Powertrain Configurations Deliver Different Performance Levels

The GX7 uses a 1.5T range extender and is available with three powertrain layouts: single-motor rear-wheel drive, dual-motor all-wheel drive and triple-motor all-wheel drive. The highest-performance triple-motor configuration produces a peak output of 550 kW and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive version completes the same sprint in 4.9 seconds, while the single-motor rear-wheel-drive variant requires 7.6 seconds. This range of configurations allows the GX7 to combine the EREV format with distinct performance levels, giving customers different choices according to their preferred balance of acceleration, drivetrain capability and vehicle configuration.

800-Volt Architecture Enables Fast Charging

All GX7 variants use batteries supplied by CATL, with available configurations including a 52-kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and a 67-kWh ternary lithium battery. The vehicle's 800-volt platform supports 5C fast charging, enabling the battery to charge from 30% to 80% in less than 10 minutes. Depending on the variant, CLTC battery range is between 325 km and 385 km, while combined range reaches between 1,500 km and 1,580 km. This combination of extended-range operation, high-voltage charging architecture and multiple battery options is intended to reduce charging time while maintaining the longer-distance flexibility associated with an EREV powertrain.

GAC and Huawei Use a New Collaboration Model

Aistaland represents one of the brands Huawei has created with Chinese automakers through a new collaboration model. Huawei has a team stationed in Guangzhou that works alongside Aistaland employees, while GAC Group remains responsible for vehicle development and manufacturing. The arrangement gives Huawei a direct role in the brand's technology and smart-vehicle capabilities while retaining GAC's responsibility for core vehicle engineering and production. This division of responsibilities is central to Aistaland's operating model and reflects the broader effort to combine automotive manufacturing capabilities with Huawei's software, connectivity and intelligent-driving technologies.

GX7 Becomes Critical 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, the brand sold 2,658 vehicles in July before monthly sales fell 58.62% to 1,100 units in August. The GX7 therefore carries greater importance because its target SUV segment is considerably larger than the shooting-brake category served by the GT7. The new model gives Aistaland an opportunity to broaden its customer reach, leverage its technology-focused positioning and increase overall deliveries. Its performance after launch will be an important indicator of whether the brand can translate its expanded product strategy into meaningful sales growth.
