Gasgoo Munich- On July 2: Chery's FULWIN brand released the first official images of its new compact electric SUV, the T7, revealing key specifications and exterior details. The model is equipped with the "Rhino Battery," which meets the latest power battery safety standards, and offers a CLTC range of 600 km. This move fills a gap in the FULWIN lineup's compact EV segment.
Visually, the T7 follows the FULWIN family design language, blending a minimalist aesthetic with a sporty character. The front fascia features soft, rounded lines contrasting with slender, sharp headlights. This contrast is intended to enhance the vehicle's styling. On either side of the bumper, blacked-out decorative air intakes serve an aerodynamic purpose, enhancing the sporty look.

The side profile is defined by smooth, understated lines, while the rear features full-width taillights. The overall design ensures clear recognition, aligning with the aesthetic preferences of mainstream family-oriented electric SUVs.
Positioned as a compact SUV, the T7 is the latest mass-production model to feature Chery's Rhino Battery technology. The battery has secured full safety certification under the new national standards. It features redundant safety designs that have withstood extreme tests, including nail penetration, crushing, bottom impact, and fire exposure. This technology supports the vehicle's range and safety standards.
Officially rated at 600 km on the CLTC cycle, the range covers most daily scenarios. This includes city commuting and inter-city travel, aiming to address range anxiety for electric vehicle users.
Competition in China's compact electric SUV market is intensifying, with rivals differentiating themselves through range, battery safety, and styling. By launching the T7, Chery aims to expand the FULWIN brand's portfolio and fill the gap in the mid-range family EV segment. The company is leveraging the compliance and technological advantages of its in-house Rhino Battery to create a distinct selling point by capitalizing on growing consumer concerns over battery safety.
