The Aistaland GT7 Officially Launches, Redefining the Benchmark for Smart Shooting Brakes

On June 26, the Aistaland GT7—the first model developed through a deep collaboration between GAC and Yinwang—officially launched in Hangzhou. The new vehicle is available in five trim levels, with official MSRPs ranging from 209,900 to 329,900 yuan, entering the smart shooting brake market with the promise of “full features right from the entry-level model.” A Fully Optimized Technological Foundation The Aistaland GT7’s biggest highlight lies in its “native integration” at the technological level. Unlike superficial collaborations between automakers and tech companies, GAC and Yinwang have opened up their underlying interfaces and calibration data to ensure synchronized R&D efforts. The new vehicle is fully equipped with six major solutions from Huawei: the Qiankun ADS 5 Intelligent Driving System, HarmonySpace cockpit, Chitu Platform, Intelligent In-Vehicle Lighting, Intelligent Vehicle Cloud, and Whale Fin Communication. At the launch event, Huawei executive Jin Yuzhi stated bluntly, “We’ve included everything we possibly could.” On the hardware side, the Aistaland GT7 is equipped with 36 high-performance sensors throughout the vehicle, featuring a next-generation dual-beam image-grade lidar and a distributed 4D millimeter-wave radar matrix at the front. On the software side, it is among the first to feature the Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 5 system, which improves the efficiency of the “Park-to-Park 3.0” function by 30% and debuts the RCA Roaming Cruise function, allowing NCA to be activated without navigation. Even the standard version comes equipped with ADS 5 Pro and 24 comprehensive active safety features as standard, truly delivering a feature-rich experience without the need for optional upgrades. Performance and Safety In terms of driving dynamics, the new model debuts the Huawei Chitu platform and comes standard with a dual-chamber closed-loop air suspension, four-piston fixed calipers, and continuously variable damping shock absorbers. The Super Triple-Motor System accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.98 seconds, joining the “2-second club.” In real-world testing, the Aistaland GT7 passed the national moose test at 94.17 km/h and clocked a lap time of 9 minutes and 29 seconds on the Tianmen Mountain mountain road, securing three titles: “Mountain King,” “Cornering King,” and “Moose Test King.” In terms of safety, the Aistaland GT7 features a “Mystic Shield” cage-type body structure, with hot-formed steel and aluminum alloy accounting for over 90% of the material composition, and 2200 MPa hot-expanded tubular beams used in critical areas. All models come standard with eight airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag. The vehicle is equipped with the all-new Kirin battery, featuring a 26-layer protective structure and a thermally decoupled architecture. The entire lineup comes standard with an 800V silicon carbide platform. The Ultra Long-Range version achieves a CLTC range of 900 km and supports 6C fast charging, providing 333 km of range after just 5 minutes of charging. Space and Cabin: Accommodating More Lifestyle Scenarios The Aistaland GT7 balances the practicality and comfort of a station wagon. The front row features dual zero-gravity seats paired with a 2.2㎡ panoramic sunroof, while the rear door armrests are extended and widened for easier leaning and assistance when standing up. The trunk capacity can be expanded to 1,606L, complemented by a 215L front storage compartment—the largest in its class—offering flexible and ample storage. The cabin features the industry’s first HUAWEI SOUND AI interactive star-ring diffuser, which supports 30° tilt and 90° rotation; the smart projection headlights offer a 120-inch projection screen, and the vehicle debuts Tencent Cloud Gaming and AI Smart Projection features. Sales Channels and Deliveries Fully Operational Aistaland has established over 300 stores in more than 90 cities nationwide, adopting a dual-format model of “Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving Authorized Experience Centers + Aistaland Authorized User Centers” and fully implementing Huawei’s service standards. The Standard, Ultra, and Ultra Long-Range versions are now available for pickup, while the three-motor version is expected to begin delivery in late September. During the initial sales period, multiple benefits are available, including instant discounts on the final payment, configuration upgrades, and financial subsidies. The limited-edition “Gamer Launch Edition” comes with an extended vehicle warranty and a co-branded gift package. At the launch event, Aistaland’s second model, the GX7, was also unveiled. Positioned as a native five-seat SUV, it pioneers a 20-second one-touch bed conversion feature and is expected to launch in the second half of the year. With the GT7’s market launch and the GX7’s debut, Aistaland’s dual-model lineup is now officially complete. Targeting the “born-to-play” generation of post-90s and post-00s consumers, the brand aims to redefine the value benchmark for smart station wagons with its class-leading product capabilities.
