Chery Luxeed S7: electric sedan with Huawei technology
Luxeed S7 — an electric four-door sedan created through the collaboration of Chery and Huawei for the Luxeed (Chin. Zhijie) brand. We'll look at its versions, transmissions, and what you need to know before considering such a car.
Luxeed S7 at a glance
Luxeed S7 — a large, upscale sedan with a sleek, coupe-like roof and flat headlights. It stands out with its digital interior, large screen, and advanced driver-assistance systems.
The Luxeed brand operates under the Huawei-led HIMA alliance: Chery manufactures the car, while Huawei develops the software, driver assistance, and infotainment system.
Versions — what sets them apart
The model debuted in 2023-2024. Purely electric versions and range-extender versions (electric car with a petrol generator) are offered.
Transmissions also vary — there are rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, as well as different battery capacities and trim levels. When choosing a car, it's important to know which version it is.
Engines and transmissions
Electric versions use one or two electric motors powered by a large-capacity battery. In the range-extender version, the wheels are driven by electric motors, while the petrol engine mainly charges the battery.
The transmission here is simple, with no gears — power is delivered directly, making the drive smooth and quiet. Exact power and range figures depend on the version.
What to check when buying a Luxeed S7
First things first — paperwork and provenance. The S7 is designed for the Chinese market, so in Lithuania it's registered as a private import. Check if you can sort out the registration, inspection, and insurance.
Second — software: many functions depend on Huawei apps and a Chinese-language menu. Third — the battery: ask for a condition report, and in the extended-range version, check the petrol generator too.
