Huawei Luxeed R7 EREV: New Extended-Range Version Confirmed in Latest MIIT Filing
The Huawei Luxeed R7, an SUV coupe co-developed by Huawei and Chery, is expanding beyond its original all-electric configuration. According to the latest MIIT filing, the Luxeed R7 lineup will soon include a new extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) variant, giving buyers more flexibility and longer total driving range.
Electric Range and Powertrain
The Huawei Luxeed R7 EREV offers an all-electric range of 121 miles or 125 miles, depending on the version. The variation is likely due to wheel size:
125 miles → models equipped with 20-inch wheels
121 miles → models using 21-inch wheels
The EREV model is powered by a 36 kWh LFP battery supplied by CATL, weighing 290 kg. For long-distance travel, the R7 adopts a 1.5L range-extender engine producing 115 kW, the same engine used in the Exeed Exlantix ET. This setup delivers excellent efficiency at 5.68 L/100 km (41.5 mpg).
While final specs aren’t confirmed, the R7 EREV is expected to use the 195 kW rear electric motor from the Exlantix ET, ensuring strong and smooth performance.
Dimensions and Aerodynamics
The EREV variant of the Huawei Luxeed R7 maintains the same dimensions as the all-electric model:
- Length: 4956 mm
- Width: 1981 mm
- Height: 1634 mm
- Wheelbase: 2950 mm
Built on the E0X modular architecture, the R7 features a sleek coupe-like profile with an excellent drag coefficient of 0.219 Cd, supporting a top speed of 124 mph. The streamlined design enhances both efficiency and aesthetics.
Advanced Autonomous Driving Features
Higher-end configurations of the Huawei Luxeed R7 EREV come equipped with Lidar sensors and use Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 3.0 system — the company’s most advanced autonomous driving platform. This setup enables:
- High-level highway autonomous driving
- Intelligent lane changing
- Smart parking
Lower trims, even without Lidar, still support high-speed NOA and intelligent parking via the standard version of Huawei’s ADAS.
Pricing Expectations
The all-electric Luxeed R7 currently sells for RMB 259,800 to RMB 339,800 ($35,800–$46,800). While pricing for the new EREV version has not yet been announced, it is widely expected to be more affordable, making the Huawei Luxeed R7 EREV an attractive option for buyers entering the electrified SUV market.
The addition of an EREV model makes the Huawei Luxeed R7 even more compelling. With its extended electric range, efficient range-extender engine, sleek aerodynamic design, and Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 3.0 autonomous driving technology, the R7 EREV is poised to become one of the most versatile and value-packed offerings in China’s premium electric SUV segment.
