Chery’s luxury sub-brand, Exeed, has unveiled its first all-electric wagon, the Exlantix ES7 GT, at the 2025 Guangzhou Auto Show. This vehicle isn’t just another EV; it pushes boundaries in both range and acceleration, offering a compelling blend of performance and practicality. The ES7 GT aims to redefine the electric shooting brake segment with its innovative powertrain and advanced features.
Design and Exterior Features
The Exeed Exlantix ES7 GT sports a sleek, modern design in line with Exeed’s latest aesthetic. Key exterior highlights include:
– A sealed front fascia with a full-width LED light strip that seamlessly integrates the headlamps.
– Aggressive vertical air intakes and distinctive half-ring LED accents on the front bumper.
– Subtly flared wheel arches housing large 21-inch five-spoke wheels with semi-closed spokes.
– A dramatically sloping D-pillar that flows into an integrated roof spoiler.
– A wide, spanning rear light bar paired with a contrasting diffuser panel.
The overall look is aerodynamic and sporty, signaling a departure from traditional wagon designs.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the Exlantix ES7 GT focuses on a premium experience. The cabin features:
– High-quality leather upholstery with detailed stitching.
– Faux carbon fiber accents and strategically placed red highlights.
– Racing-style bucket seats upfront with a comfortable rear bench.
– A suite of 27 sensors, including roof-mounted lidar and fender cameras, powering the “Falcon 700” driver-assistance system.
– A high-performance “Journey 6P” platform with a 5,600 TPS computing module.
The cockpit is dominated by a massive 15.6-inch central touchscreen, complemented by a 12.3-inch passenger display and a 10.25-inch instrument cluster, all powered by the 8295P processor. Apple CarPlay and 50W wireless charging are standard.
Performance and Range
The Exeed Exlantix ES7 GT boasts impressive performance figures:
– Acceleration: 0–100 km/h in under 3 seconds.
– Range: Over 1,700 km (CLTC cycle) thanks to a range extender system combined with three electric motors.
– Charging: Supports 1,000 V ultra-fast charging, adding up to 450 km of range in just 5 minutes.
– Suspension: Independent suspension at both front and rear for enhanced ride quality and handling.
The long range and fast charging capabilities address key consumer concerns about EV usability, making it a viable alternative to gasoline vehicles for long-distance travel.
The Exeed Exlantix ES7 GT is more than just a showcase of technology; it’s a statement of intent. Chery is aiming to compete directly with established premium EV brands by offering a vehicle that surpasses expectations in both range and performance.
The release of this model could accelerate the adoption of electric wagons, a segment that has yet to see significant innovation. This vehicle pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in the EV space.
