Yu Chengdong introduced the Zhijie R7 as the second model co-developed by Huawei and Chery, and the first coupe SUV under the Hongmeng Zhixing brand.
Pre-orders for the Zhijie R7 are now open and can be made through the Hongmeng Intelligent Driving app, mini program, or Huawei Mall. The car will also be showcased at the Chengdu International Auto Show.
The “R” in Zhijie R7 stands for “Revolution,” symbolizing “breakthrough and subversion.” The vehicle will be available in both single and dual motor versions.

Yu Chengdong mentioned that while the Zhijie R7’s exterior dimensions are similar to those of the Model Y, its interior space rivals that of the Model X, but it comes at a significantly lower price point.
Additionally, the Zhijie R7 is set to become the world’s mass-produced SUV with the lowest wind resistance. Official wind resistance data will be revealed at the press conference.
