Aistaland GX7 Pre-Sales Begin September 4 in China

Aistaland GX7 Pre-Sales Set for September 4

Aistaland will begin pre-sales for the Aistaland GX7 at 5:00 pm Beijing Time on September 4, marking the next major step for the premium new energy vehicle brand jointly developed by GAC Group and Huawei. During the event, the company is expected to explain its definition of a new “spacious 5-seater” vehicle category. GX7 display vehicles have already reached 60 stores across 32 Chinese cities, indicating that the model remains on schedule for a launch this fall. The company has not yet disclosed official pricing for the five-seat extended-range SUV, while some Chinese media outlets expect the highest-trim version to cost about 350,000 yuan ($51,600).

Positioning and Pricing Compared With the GT7

The GX7 is a five-seat extended-range SUV that first appeared on June 26 during the launch event for Aistaland’s first model, the GT7. While official GX7 pricing remains undisclosed, market expectations place its top trim at approximately 350,000 yuan. That would position it above the all-electric GT7 shooting brake, which starts at 209,900 yuan and reaches 329,900 yuan for its top trim. The GX7 therefore expands Aistaland’s lineup with a larger SUV format while maintaining a premium positioning. Its arrival also broadens the brand’s product strategy beyond the GT7 and strengthens its presence in China’s increasingly competitive new energy vehicle market.

GX7 Dimensions and Aerodynamic Design

Regulatory filing information released in July lists the GX7 at 5,099 mm long, 2,006 mm wide and 1,750 mm high, with a 3,070 mm wheelbase. These dimensions support the model’s positioning around a spacious five-seat configuration and give it a substantial road presence within the premium SUV segment. Aistaland also highlights aerodynamic engineering as part of the vehicle’s design, citing a drag coefficient of 0.26. The GX7 uses a semi-enclosed front fascia together with active grille shutters, features intended to support aerodynamic efficiency. The combination of its large dimensions and aerodynamic design forms an important part of the model’s overall product proposition.

Advanced Driver Assistance and Cabin Technology

Smart technology is a major component of the GX7’s positioning. The SUV is equipped with Huawei’s latest Qiankun ADS 5 driving-assistance system and four LiDAR units, including an 896-channel dual-optical-path, image-grade LiDAR. Aistaland says the vehicle has 38 perception sensors and incorporates eight redundancy systems designed for Level 3 autonomous driving. Inside, the GX7 is among the first vehicles to feature HarmonySpace 6, with two connected 15.6-inch screens and an 88-inch augmented-reality head-up display. These systems combine sensing, driving assistance and digital cabin functions to make advanced software and hardware integration a central element of the vehicle’s premium technology strategy.

Three-Motor Extended-Range Powertrain

The GX7 uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged range extender combined with a three-motor layout. The system produces a peak output of 550 kW and enables acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in the three-second range. This powertrain configuration gives the extended-range SUV performance characteristics that go beyond its practical family-oriented positioning. Instead of relying solely on battery power, the range-extender architecture combines electric propulsion with an internal combustion engine used to support the vehicle’s energy needs. The resulting setup is designed to provide strong acceleration while retaining the long-distance flexibility associated with an extended-range electric vehicle, adding another differentiating element to the GX7’s premium positioning.

CATL Battery Options and 800-Volt Charging

The GX7 uses batteries supplied by CATL, with buyers offered 51.9-kWh and 67.2-kWh configurations. Both battery options support an 800-volt 5C ultra-fast charging architecture, placing charging performance among the model’s key technical features. The GX7 can achieve a CLTC pure-electric driving range of up to 385 km, while Aistaland says the vehicle’s combined range exceeds 1,500 km. That combined figure is higher than the previously stated 1,400-km range. The battery configurations and high-voltage charging capability are intended to balance electric driving capability with the longer-distance flexibility provided by the range-extender powertrain.

GAC and Huawei Partnership Model

Aistaland is one of the brands created by Huawei with Chinese automakers under a new partnership model. Under the arrangement, Huawei has stationed a team in Guangzhou and works from the same offices as Aistaland employees. GAC Group is responsible for vehicle development and manufacturing, establishing a division of responsibilities between the automaker and technology partner. The GX7 reflects this cooperation through its combination of vehicle engineering, extended-range propulsion, advanced sensing, driving assistance, connected cabin technology and high-voltage charging. The partnership structure gives Aistaland access to Huawei technology while retaining GAC’s role in developing and producing the vehicles.
