Less than 0.2 million/200 thousand bought an end-to-end intelligent driving, and Chuanqi yearned for S7 listing, which is more valuable than ideal?
On the evening of March 30th, GAC Chuanqi officially announced the price of S7 at the user party held in Shenzhen. The new car has launched five models, with the guide price range of 169,800-223,800 yuan, and the price has dropped to 154,800-208,800 yuan after combining the national replacement subsidy. As Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi’s first high-end intelligent driving mass production model, it yearns for S7 to be built based on EV+ new energy platform, positioning the family’s five-seat SUV, so does it have the strength to impact the mid-to-high-end new energy market?
Chuanqi yearns for S7 to adopt the design language of "hiding the front and moistening it", and create the visual tone of "positive atmosphere" through the collision between rounded surfaces and sharp edges. The 2618mm star-shaped ring on the front face integrates 2248 beads, supports 8 kinds of dynamic light language interaction, and cooperates with the zigzag taillight group, which has both scientific sense and recognition.
Chuanqi yearns for the design of the side of S7 body with suspended roof, hidden door handle and 270 flat side window, which strengthens the simple and smooth outline. The D-pillar energy breathing light enhances the sense of car etiquette through green light (charging) and blue light (discharging). In terms of color matching, the new car offers five theme colors inspired by the geographical pole of China: Shuguang Red, Rainforest Green, Haoyue Grey, Obsidian Crystal Black and Blade Shadow White. Chuanqi yearns for S7 with a body size of 4900×1950×1780mm, a wheelbase of 2880mm, and a ground clearance of 200mm, taking into account urban commuting and light off-road scenes, and all the data are also close.
Chuanqi yearns for S7 interior to provide three color schemes of brown, white and black, 270 embracing skyline ambient light and ADiGO 6.0 intelligent cockpit system driven by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip, which supports four-tone voice interaction and end-cloud integrated AI service. The whole car seat comes standard with ventilation/heating/massage function, and the rear backrest can be adjusted up to 137. With the 17.3-inch 3K ceiling screen, 22-speaker Dolby panoramic sound and electric suction door, it has a "mobile first class" experience.
As the core selling point, Chuanqi yearns for S7 to be equipped with an end-to-end intelligent driving system developed by GAC without drawing. The hardware adopts NVIDIA Orin-X chip (254TOPS computing power), 11 cameras +1 zoom lidar +3 millimeter-wave radar, which can identify 35 main scenes and 357 sub-scenes, covering complex road conditions such as urban roundabout and narrow roads. The automatic parking function is compatible with special-shaped parking spaces and the "car width +0.5m" limit space. It is worth noting that the city NDA intelligent driving function comes standard in the form of "free use for life", and there is no need for late subscription.
Chuanqi yearns for S7 based on EV+ platform. The new car provides dual-mode drive of plug-in+extended range. The 1.5T engine matches single/double motors, and the comprehensive power reaches 392/501 horsepower. The two-wheel drive version of CLTC has a pure battery life of 205km and a comprehensive battery life of 1150km;; The four-wheel drive version has a pure battery life of 180km, a comprehensive battery life of 1020km and a fuel consumption of 5.7-6.5L/100km. It takes only 20 minutes for the magazine battery to support 30%-80% charge quickly, and the 6kW external discharge function expands the camping scene.
In horizontal contrast, the ideal L6 occupies a high position in the market with its luxury positioning and balanced product strength, while Chuanqi yearns for S7 to provide lidar, high-level intelligent driving and leading endurance at a lower price, thus forming dislocation competition. Traditional competing fuel products, such as SAIC Volkswagen Pro, are good at space, but their power performance and intelligent configuration are slightly weak in the new energy camp. Chuanqi yearns for S7 to anchor a sense of high value at a price of 200,000, which is obviously attractive to users.
In addition, 2025 is regarded as the outbreak year of medium and large SUVs of China brand, and Chuanqi yearns for S7′ s domineering design and people-friendly pricing, which has become a rare "cost-effective flagship" in this track. Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi simultaneously launched an aviation-class service system, including free pick-up and delivery vehicles in 272 cities, 1.2 million+charging pile coverage and 7×24-hour butler service, further strengthening competitiveness. Therefore, on the whole, Chuanqi’s longing for the listing of S7 is not only a concentrated display of Guangzhou Automobile’s technical reserves, but also a reflection of the pragmatic path for local brands to attack the high-end, and challenge the traditional luxury barriers with intelligent and cost-effective two-wheel drive. So whether these advantages can bring more sales and seize the ideal L6 and other new power markets, we will wait and see.
