- Aistaland GT7 pre-sales start at 219,900 yuan ($32,490), featuring Huawei's latest ADS 5 smart driving system and high-spec LiDAR.
- The model will officially launch in June, aiming to challenge rivals such as Zeekr.
Aistaland, a high-end new energy vehicle brand co-created by GAC Group (HKEX: 2238) and tech giant Huawei, began pre-sales for its first model, the GT7, on Friday, taking aim at the increasingly crowded shooting brake market.
The mid-to-large-size shooting brake coupe comes in four variants, with pre-sales starting prices of 219,900 yuan ($32,490), 249,900 yuan, 279,900 yuan, and 309,900 yuan, respectively. It will officially launch and begin deliveries next month.
The introduction of the GT7 marks Aistaland's entry into China's fiercely competitive high-end electric vehicle segment. The model is designed to attract younger consumers seeking dynamic design and advanced smart technologies.
To stimulate early market demand, Aistaland has rolled out a series of limited-time pre-sales benefits. These include deposit deductions against the final payment, priority production scheduling, and free interior upgrade services.
Adopting a shooting brake profile, the GT7 measures 5,050 mm in length, 1,980 mm in width, and 1,470 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,000 mm.
The model is built on an 800-volt high-voltage architecture and equipped with a new-generation Qilin battery supplied by CATL (HKEX: 3750), offering a maximum pure electric range of up to 900 kilometers.
It supports 6C supercharging technology, with charging speeds reaching one kilometer of range replenishment per second.
Its top-trim version features a tri-motor setup, capable of accelerating from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.98 seconds.
The GT7 is equipped with Huawei's latest Qiankun ADS 5 smart driving system. Its perception hardware includes an 896-channel LiDAR sensor from Huawei, the highest specification for mass production globally.
The GT7 has obtained a Level 3 autonomous driving road test license in Guangzhou and has completed 200,000 kilometers of L3 real-world road testing, according to the brand.
The model also debuts Huawei's Qiankun Chitu platform, a digital chassis technology combined with a closed-loop dual-chamber air suspension, aimed at delivering a handling experience comparable to million-yuan-level luxury sports cars.
For the in-cabin experience, the new vehicle features the next-generation HarmonySpace smart cockpit.
The shooting brake coupe was once a niche segment in China. However, the unprecedented success of rival Zeekr 001 following its launch a few years ago has proven its immense commercial potential to the industry.
Aistaland is one of the new brands Huawei has created with a Chinese automaker under a new model, after having launched five other brands with partners under its HIMA (Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance) business.
In addition to Aistaland, Huawei has partnered with Dongfeng Motor to create a new auto brand, Epicland, which debuted its first model, the Epicland M8 SUV, last week.
Aistaland is rapidly expanding its sales network to support the new car's launch. The brand plans to open 300 stores covering 70 cities nationwide by the end of June.
In addition to the GT7, Aistaland announced at today's event that its second model is an SUV called the GX7.
