⚡ Huawei and Chery Launch Luxeed R7 with 1,627 km Range
Chinese tech giant Huawei and automaker Chery have officially launched the latest model in their Luxeed electric vehicle lineup—the Luxeed R7. Built under the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA), this new electric SUV blends intelligent hybrid performance, luxury features, and cutting-edge design with a staggering CLTC total range of up to 1,627 km.
🚘 Aerodynamic Design Meets Efficient Engineering
The Luxeed R7 features a sleek, modern profile measuring 4956 mm long, 1981 mm wide, and 1634 mm high, with a drag coefficient of just 0.247Cd—aerodynamically optimized for better efficiency. Buyers can enhance the sporty look with an optional package including a rear diffuser and spoiler wing.
🔋 Powertrain and EREV System: Quiet Power with Long Legs
At the heart of both Max and Ultra variants is Huawei’s new “intelligent silent” Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) technology, which operates a 1.5-liter four-cylinder range-extending engine. This system significantly reduces vibration by up to 90% during start-stop transitions, offering a smoother ride.
Both versions come with a 67-liter fuel tank and a 53.4 kWh ternary lithium battery, supported by Huawei’s Giant Whale 400V platform, allowing for 20% to 80% fast charging in just 15 minutes.
