Trumpchi yearns for S7 has really become popular recently! It is not because it is a new car-making force, but because it has the deep foundation of traditional car companies and has played new hard-core tricks in the new energy era. As soon as this car was launched, it was like throwing a deep water bomb – the price was directly stuck between 169,800 and 223,800 yuan (it was more delicious after the limited time discount), but the configuration and experience stuffed in it looked like it was aimed at the 300,000-level contestants. How does it take off? Let’s peel off the layers of surprises and see where this “new power” is confident.
At first glance, it is not only good-looking, but also “discharged”
When you first meet, you yearn for S7, it is difficult for you not to be attracted by its aura. The designer used the concept of “hiding the edge in moistness”. The body lines are smooth and atmospheric, without excessively ostentatious edges, but they exuded a sense of meticulous power everywhere. However, the most explosive thing is definitely the front of the car! The huge AI emotional headlight consists of a total of 2,248 small lamp beads! what does that mean? It is not just a lighting tool, it is more like a car’s “emoticon pack”. At least 8 different emotional lights are preset, such as the warm welcome light effect, or the guiding light effect that helps you “find the way” in the parking lot. What’s even cooler is that the manufacturer said that it can also upgrade through OTA in the future to unlock more interesting interactive gameplay. Imagine that in the future, if you say hello to a friend or signal pedestrians to pass by, your headlights can “talk” and this sense of technology will be filled with it!
On the side of the car body, hidden door handles and floating roof are popular elements at present, but I yearn for the S7 to do it more “smart” – the narrow and long waistline extends from the headlights to the taillights, and with the raised wheel arches, the steady and ready-to-go style on the road comes out. The back-shaped light group design at the rear of the car is extremely recognizable when lit. With a 4900mm length, a 1950mm width, a 1780mm height, a 2880mm wheelbase, and a 20-inch large wheelbarrow, you can tell that it is a perfect medium-sized SUV body, and the space performance is full of expectations.
Mobile “big living room”: Play comfort to the extreme
Speaking of space, this is the trump card that yearns for S7 to target “family travel”. The manufacturer gave a particularly intuitive word – “household rate”, which is as high as 79.6%! How to understand? The effective riding space wrapped in the car shell is super large, reaching an astonishing 3222mm. When you sit in the second row, the maximum space on your legs is 1058mm, the head is 1015mm away from the roof, and the height from the floor to the roof is 1268mm. Even a big man who is 1.8 meters tall can easily cross his legs. What’s more considerate is that the angle of the backrest is adjustable, so you can find the lazy “Ge You lying” position without any pressure.
If this is not shocking enough, then its “one-click full flat” second-row seat function will definitely conquer all camping enthusiasts or moving experts. After being knocked down, the trunk instantly becomes a 2050-liter “big bed room” or “cargo hold”! In addition, the storage space design of up to 34 places in the whole car, children’s toys, mother’s bags, father’s fishing gear, and family’s snacks and drinks have exclusive “small homes”, and the car can always be kept refreshing and tidy.
Technology “hard work”: Turn driving into enjoyment
When you sit in the cockpit of the S7, the first feeling is that it is simple and atmospheric, but if you savor it carefully, it is all intelligent “hard work”. The skyline ambient light on the center console that runs through the entire cockpit is said to be able to form a 270° embrace effect, and it has a full sense of driving at night. The interior color schemes are available in brown, white and black, and the texture is very high-end.
The hardware pile is full of sincerity: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip is in charge! This is the “top stream” among automotive-grade chips, with super strong performance, so it can easily drive the ADiGO 6.0 intelligent interactive system. The most practical thing is the four-tone area voice wake-up function – the child sitting in the back row wants to listen to the story, and just shout “Grouchi Trumpchi” can be done, and there is no need to stretch his neck to shout at the front row. When driving, there is a huge 27-inch W-HUD head-up display system in front of you. Navigation, vehicle speed, and speed limit information are projected on the windshield. You no longer have to look down at the dashboard frequently, which is safe and worry-free.
The rear row entertainment has not fallen behind, and it is equipped with a 17.3-inch 3K high-definition ceiling-mounted large screen! Support screen projection, children watch cartoons, parents watch football games, and they do not interfere with each other. Voice, touch, and remote control can all be operated, it is simply a mobile home theater. When traveling in summer, you can also choose a 20L large-capacity car refrigerator. The official said that it can stuff 14 bottles of 550ml of mineral water, and can be adjusted from cold drinks with a temperature of -15℃ to warm milk with a temperature of 50℃. The mobile APP can also be remotely controlled and refrigerated in advance. You can drink iced drinks when you get on the bus. With 22 high-fidelity speakers in the whole car, it supports Dolby Atmos. This sound effect and traffic jams can turn into an auditory feast.
The most powerful brain: the “old driver” who can drive without pictures
If the smart cockpit is a pleasure, then the smart driving of the S7 is a guarantee of safety and worry-freeness. It is GAC Trumpchi’s first mass-produced high-end intelligent driving model! The hardware lineup is super luxurious: the roof is equipped with lidar (high-end models), 11 cameras are arranged in the front, side and rear, plus 3 millimeter-wave radars. The “brain” responsible for processing this massive amount of information is the Nvidia Orin-X chip with computing power up to 254 TOPS, which is definitely a flagship level.
With the support of powerful hardware, it is equipped with GAC’s self-developed “Starling Intelligent Walk ADiGO GSD Intelligent Driving System”. The core technology of this system is “end-to-end human-like intelligence without drawing”, what does it mean? Simply put, it means not relying on high-precision maps and observing and understanding the real road conditions like a human being. The official claims that it can achieve “can be opened without a map, zero takeover at high speed, and safe use in urban areas.” Imagine that even new roads that have not been updated on the map can drive safely with its own perception. Automatically follow the car, change lanes and overtake on the expressway, and complete the entry and exit ramps in one go, greatly reducing long-distance driving fatigue. You can also follow cars and identify traffic lights in congested sections of urban areas, saving you a lot of energy. This is not futures, but a ability that can be used by real-time cars.
Have no worries about battery life and strong power: go wherever you want
As a plug-in hybrid car, battery life and power are basic skills. The S7 is built on GAC Trumpchi’s latest EV+ platform, equipped with a 1.5T engine and motor (divided into two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions). The biggest highlight is that it provides two driving modes of “intelligent hybrid + super extended range”, which can be called “one car, dual mode, three-purpose”:
Pure electricity priority: Just use electricity when commuting to and from work every day! CLTC has a pure electric range of up to 205km (two-wheel drive Max version), full of charge, no pressure when commuting for dozens of kilometers, and the cost is as low as a few cents per kilometer.
Hybrid long-distance running: long-distance self-driving? The system automatically switches the hybrid mode, the engine and motor work together, and the comprehensive range can reach up to 1150km (two-wheel drive version)! Add fuel once and drive from Beijing to Shanghai easily, saying goodbye to the anxiety of finding a charging pile in the middle.
Extended range safety: When the battery is low or more powerful, the engine becomes a “generator” and focuses on charging the battery. The vehicle is still driven by the motor. The driving experience is still smooth and quiet, and it can maintain good fuel economy.
The power performance is also very strong, with the comprehensive power of the four-wheel drive version system reaching 501 horsepower, which is full of push-back feeling. Chassis tuning is Trumpchi’s specialty – the Juxing Intelligent Control Chassis combines GAC’s 20 years of experience and the tuning concept of international masters (such as Porsche and Alfa Romeo), and is combined with FSD adaptive vibration damping and CST comfortable braking system, it is both stable and comfortable to drive. The ASTC 2.0 Eagle Claw system allows the four-wheel drive to provide reliable grip under various complex road conditions (rain, snow, slippery, curves, sand).
New powers rise: good prices, challenge high-end
Aspire to S7 with clear positioning: aiming at the fiercely competitive “big five-seat new energy SUV” market. In this price range (limited price of 169,800-223,800 yuan), there are many experts. In front, there are new benchmarks such as Ideal L6 and M5, and behind, there are domestically produced players such as BYD Tang, Lynk & Co 08, and Xiaopeng G6, as well as a number of joint venture hybrid models. Trumpchi’s strategy is very smart, called “displaced competition”:
Faced with the domestic camp: With the same price range, the S7 has a larger size (nearly 4.9 meters long), more advanced chips (8295P vs 8155), and more luxurious configurations (such as the large rear screen, high-end intelligent driving hardware, and 22 speaker speakers). For example, compared with BYD Song PLUS DM-i or Haval Foxconn MAX at the same price, it has a stronger sense of space and technology.
For the SCO camp: Compared with Japanese hybrid SUVs of the same size, we yearn for the S7 to provide longer comprehensive range (1150km vs usually 800-900km) and richer technological configurations (high-speed NOA, smart cockpit) under the premise of lower prices, achieving “low-price and high-end configuration”.
More importantly, as a traditional large manufacturer, Trumpchi has a deep accumulation of new forces in the short term in terms of “basic skills” such as car manufacturing technology, quality control, reliability and chassis adjustment. That solid and steady driving texture is a valuable asset accumulated through time and massive testing (it is said to have invested more than 600 engineering vehicles!).
Takeoff in progress: The era of new power is here
Trumpchi yearns for the launch of S7, which is not just a new car. It proves that in the new energy era, traditional car companies are fully capable of creating “new power” products that have both new forces and cutting-edge technological experiences, but also have the solid foundation and cost-effective advantages of traditional large manufacturers.
It is not about subverting anyone, but about using its strength to declare: on the track of smart electric vehicles, we can also play new tricks and fly to new heights with the calmness and experience of “masters”. At a price of 169,800, you can have a family all-round SUV that combines high appearance, large space, long battery life, strong power, top-level smart cockpit and high-end intelligent driving. Who can’t be moved by such a “new power”? Longing for the takeoff of S7 may be opening a new chapter for traditional car companies to return strongly in the new energy era. Its market performance is worthy of our continued attention!
