PROS

  1. Rhino Battery LFP safety architecture as a standalone selling point
  2. 600 km CLTC range from a 65.05 kWh pack, competitive for the segment
  3. Aggressive entry pricing starting under $17,000 USD equivalent domestically

CONS

  1. FWD-only layout with no AWD option currently offered
  2. Export pricing under the Lepas L6 EV badge runs notably higher than China domestic pricing, limiting value outside China

The Chery Fulwin T7 is a compact electric SUV built by Fulwin, an EV-focused sub-brand Chery established in 2023 as an independent arm of the Chery Group. Positioned as an entry-to-mid-tier offering within the Fulwin lineup, the T7 sits in the compact electric SUV segment with a front-wheel-drive-only configuration. Its main technical distinction is the “Rhino Battery,” an in-house LFP pack built to meet current power battery safety standards, which fills a gap in the Fulwin brand’s compact EV segment. The model has already reached international markets ahead of its Chinese debut, a common pattern for Chery-affiliated brands.

Powertrain & Charging

The Fulwin T7 comes standard with a Gotion-made 65.05 kWh LFP battery rated at 600 km of CLTC range, powering a single 178 kW (239 hp) front-axle motor. A heat pump and electric PTC heater are included as standard thermal management equipment. On charging, the vehicle is reported to charge from roughly 30% to 80% in about 20 minutes on a DC fast charger — a competitive benchmark for the segment. AC onboard charging rate has not been officially confirmed at the time of writing; this figure should be treated as pending until Chery publishes full trim-level specifications. Since the CLTC range figure is based on a Chinese testing cycle, actual real-world range under WLTP or EPA conditions would likely be lower.

Pricing, Fit & Context

In its home market, the Fulwin T7 opened for presales across three trim levels priced between 109,900 and 129,900 yuan (approximately $16,300–$19,260 USD). Internationally, the same vehicle has been sold under the Lepas L6 EV nameplate, launching in Thailand at 769,900–829,900 baht (roughly $23,265–$25,075 USD) — illustrating the typical markup between China domestic pricing and export markets. This SUV realistically suits budget-conscious urban commuters and small families needing a single-charge daily driver rather than long-distance road-trippers.

Within the Fulwin ecosystem, the T7 sits below the larger Fulwin T9 (a PHEV SUV) and well below the flagship Fulwin T11 (a full-size EREV SUV with up to 1,400 km combined range). Externally, it competes against compact electric SUVs like the BYD Atto 3 and GAC Aion V, both of which target similar price-conscious buyers in the sub-$20,000 EV bracket. For direct comparison, Chery itself has referenced the BYD Atto 3 Evo, noting the T7 is 115 mm longer, 23 mm wider, and 79 mm taller — making it a natural SEO comparison pairing.
