Will The Chery Luxeed S7 Arrive In Malaysia In 2026
Chery Luxeed S7 is a product of a joint venture between Chery Auto and tech giant Huawei
The Chery Luxeed S7 is a premium electric sedan developed as a collaboration between tech giant Huawei and automaker Chery. Its “special” nature lies in its advanced technology integration, high performance, and impressive range, particularly its Huawei-developed intelligent systems that position it as a strong competitor to vehicles like the Tesla Model S.
Key features that make the Luxeed S7 special include:
Huawei’s Advanced Technology: The S7 is deeply integrated with Huawei’s technology ecosystem. It is the first sedan to run on the HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit system and features the advanced Huawei ADS (Automatic Driving System) for L2+ autonomous driving capabilities. The ADS system is supported by a comprehensive sensor suite including LiDAR, cameras, and millimeter-wave radars.
High Performance and 800V Platform: It utilises Huawei’s new generation DriveONE 800V high-voltage silicon carbide power platform, which enables ultra-fast charging. The all-wheel drive version boasts a substantial 365kW (496 hp) of power, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 3.3 seconds.
Exceptional Range: Depending on the configuration, the S7 can achieve a CLTC range of up to 855 km (531 miles) with the 100 kWh battery pack from CATL, outperforming many peers in range and charging speed. A 15-minute charge can add up to 400 km of range.
Aerodynamic Design and Comfort: The S7 features a sleek, highly aerodynamic design with a low drag coefficient of 0.203 Cd. The interior is designed for comfort, featuring a minimalist cockpit, high-quality materials (including Nappa leather options), heated/ventilated/massage seats, and an un-openable panoramic sunroof that creates a transparent and open interior feel.
Smart Features: It includes a host of smart features such as 360-degree panoramic imaging, full-speed adaptive cruise control, autonomous parking, and even specific design elements tailored to consumer preferences, like a hidden storage compartment in the trunk for various hobbies.
Meanwhile, while there are no current official announcements for the Chery Luxeed S7 to be exported and sold in ASEAN markets, Chery has established Malaysia as its regional production and R&D hub for right-hand drive vehicles, with plans to export various models across the region.
So, as the Luxeed S7 is now a left-hand drive model for the Chinese market, a right-hand drive version would need to be developed for key ASEAN markets like Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia, which is a potential long-term possibility given Malaysia’s role as the RHD hub.
