Drawing from Chery’s innovative all-aluminum platform, the eQ7 boasts a 30% reduction in frame weight and an impressive 35% increase in power density, as confirmed by the automaker. This mid-size SUV measures 4675/1910/1660mm, with a wheelbase of 2830mm.

Underpinning its performance, the Chery eQ7 adopts a rear-wheel drive layout and incorporates a potent permanent magnet synchronous motor, capable of generating 155 kW and 360 Nm. This dynamic motorization is complemented by a versatile array of 4 driving modes, 3 steering modes, and 2 braking modes. Its peak speed reaches an impressive 180 km/h. The vehicle’s robust battery, sourced from a ternary lithium battery pack, possesses a substantial 71 kWh capacity, affording two distinct pure electric cruising ranges (measured by NEDC) – 512 km and 650 km. Notably, both slow and fast charging functionalities are seamlessly integrated, allowing for an efficient 30-minute charge from 30% to 80%.

Inside the eQ7’s cabin, an inviting contrast color scheme harmoniously blends with the generous expanse of suede material, tastefully adorned with accents of wood and chrome elements. The pièce de résistance, however, emerges in the form of the remarkable 24.6-inch dual-screen setup. This innovative arrangement comprises a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and an equally substantial 12.3-inch central control screen. Noteworthy is Chery’s claim that the eQ7 stands as China’s first mid-size SUV to feature a colossal 24.6-inch dual screen.

Championing safety, the interior of the eQ7 boasts an impressive array of features, including up to 10 airbags, an anti-lock braking system, an electronic stability program, and a comprehensive tire pressure monitoring system.

Enhancing passenger comfort, the eQ7’s electronically adjustable seats extend versatile support with features like heating, ventilation, and even massage functionalities.
