Aistaland, the premium NEV brand formed by GAC Group and Huawei, is preparing to launch its second model, the GX7. The large five-seat SUV has now appeared in China’s official vehicle filings, signaling a broader push beyond the GT7 shooting-brake.
Aistaland GX7: Key Details Revealed
According to the latest filings from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Aistaland GX7 will be offered as an extended-range SUV in three versions. The GX7 measures 5,099 mm (~201 inches) in length, 2,006 mm (~79 inches) in width, and 1,750 mm (~69 inches) in height, with a wheelbase of 3,070 mm (~121 inches).
All versions feature a 1.5T range extender engine with 125 kW of power, meeting China 6 emission standards. Two variants use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries with a capacity of about 51.9 kWh, while a third uses a 67.2 kWh nickel-cobalt-manganese battery. Battery cells are supplied by CATL and a CATL joint venture.
Performance and Technology
The GX7’s three versions have curb weights of 2,488 kg (~5,486 lbs), 2,599 kg (~5,732 lbs), and 2,720 kg (~5,997 lbs). WLTC pure-electric range is rated at 270 km (~168 miles), 260 km (~162 miles), and 305 km (~190 miles) respectively. Fuel consumption in battery-depleted mode ranges from 5.75 to 6.15 L/100km.
Aistaland highlights intelligence as a core feature, equipping the GX7 with four LiDARs and Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 5 driver-assistance system. The trunk includes a charging port, light, and storage compartment, aiming to appeal to buyers interested in camping and long-distance travel.
GT7 Extended-Range Version and Pricing
Alongside the GX7, Aistaland has filed an extended-range version of its first model, the GT7. This sedan is 5,050 mm (~199 inches) long with a 3,000 mm (~118 inches) wheelbase, a 1.5T range extender, and a 35.7 kWh LFP battery. Its WLTC pure-electric range is 205 km (~127 miles).
The GT7 pure-electric version, launched on June 26, is available in five variants with prices starting at $30,937 (~AUD 44,509) and reaching up to $48,623 (~AUD 69,956) for the top trim.
Competitor Comparison
The Aistaland GX7 enters a segment crowded with large, tech-focused SUVs from both established and emerging Chinese brands. Its combination of extended-range powertrain, advanced driver-assistance, and high-capacity batteries positions it against rivals that emphasize long-distance capability and intelligent features.
Historical Context
Aistaland’s first model, the GT7, saw strong early interest, with pre-sales exceeding 12,000 orders in just one week. This momentum underlines the brand’s rapid rise and the market’s appetite for premium NEVs with advanced technology.
Why this matters
The filing of the GX7 marks a significant expansion for Aistaland, signaling the brand’s intent to compete in the high-end SUV market with a focus on range, intelligence, and versatility. The partnership between GAC’s manufacturing expertise and Huawei’s technology could set new benchmarks for premium NEVs in China.
What this means for buyers
Buyers interested in large, tech-forward SUVs will soon have another option with the GX7, especially those seeking extended range and advanced driver-assistance features. With the GT7 already on sale and the GX7 set to launch this fall, Aistaland is quickly building a diverse lineup. Shoppers should watch for official pricing and detailed specs as the GX7’s market debut approaches.
