- The GT7 offers an extended-range powertrain for the first time, with a limited-time promotional price starting at 221,900 yuan ($33,044).
- The new EREV variant delivers a combined CLTC range of 1,300 kilometers, while the BEV variant offers a CLTC range of 770 kilometers.
Aistaland, a brand jointly developed by GAC Group (HKEX: 2238) and Huawei, added 2 new variants to the GT7 shooting brake coupe on Friday, introducing an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain to the model for the first time to expand options amid a slow sales ramp-up.
The new additions, named the Ultra Comfort editions, are available in EREV and battery electric vehicle (BEV) powertrains. They are offered at a limited-time promotional starting price of 221,900 yuan ($33,044), compared with an official guide price starting at 229,900 yuan.
Specifically, the EREV variant carries a guide price of 229,900 yuan and the BEV variant is priced at 239,900 yuan. Their limited-time promotional prices are 221,900 yuan and 231,900 yuan, respectively, both 8,000 yuan lower than the guide prices.
When the GT7 launched on June 26, it was only available as a BEV across 5 trims, with guide prices ranging from 209,900 yuan to 329,900 yuan.
This marks the first time the GT7 is offered as an EREV, making it Aistaland's second model to feature an extended-range powertrain following the GX7 SUV launched in September.
The EREV variant measures 5,050 mm in length, 1,980 mm in width, and 1,480 mm in height, while the BEV variant stands at 1,470 mm in height. Both share a wheelbase of 3,000 mm. The BEV version comes with a 215-liter frunk (frunk), which is not available on the EREV version.
Aistaland said the GT7 is the industry's only extended-range shooting brake built on an L3-ready architecture.
The EREV variant of the GT7 Ultra Comfort edition is powered by a 1.5T range extender and 1 electric motor, delivering a combined system output of 230 kW (308 hp) and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds.
Equipped with CATL's (HKEX: 3750) Freevoy Battery, the EREV variant offers a CLTC battery range of 252 kilometers (157 miles) and a combined range of 1,300 kilometers. It has a WLTC fuel consumption of 5.35 liters per 100 kilometers when the battery is depleted, and can charge from 10% to 80% in 17 minutes.
The BEV variant features 1 electric motor producing 250 kW, sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. Built on an 800V architecture and powered by CATL's Shenxing Battery, it boasts a CLTC range of 770 kilometers and can charge from 10% to 80% in 20 minutes.
Both variants underpin Huawei's Qiankun Chitu platform. The BEV variant is equipped with closed dual-chamber air suspension and continuous damping control (CDC) shock absorbers, while the EREV variant only features the latter.
In terms of assisted driving, the 2 new variants match the other Ultra trims, featuring the Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 Ultra edition and an 896-channel dual-optical-path image-grade LiDAR, along with the omnidirectional Collision Avoidance System (CAS) 5.0 and Parking-Spot-to-Parking-Spot 3.0 capabilities.
Aistaland also rolled out limited-time purchasing incentives, including a 5,000 yuan trade-in subsidy for all brands and a 5-year loan plan with 0 interest for the first 3 years, with a minimum down payment of 66,600 yuan.
The brand also announced that the largest over-the-air (OTA) update for the GT7 since its launch is ready. It will bring the HarmonySpace 6 cockpit system and Huawei Qiankun ADS 5.0.2, adding features such as gesture-controlled parking out, campus navigation assist, lane-level navigation, and active wading detection.
Following the update, the 10% to 80% charging time for the 86 kWh battery will be shortened from 20 minutes to about 16 minutes, alongside newly added extreme low-temperature thermal preservation and super cooling modes.
Aistaland is a brand jointly created by Huawei Qiankun and GAC, with Huawei teams stationed in Guangzhou for joint operations while GAC leads vehicle R&D and manufacturing.
The brand currently has 2 models on sale, the GT7 and GX7, with sales still lagging far behind mainstream EV brands.
