HarmonyOS Zhixing’s first pure electric car went on the market, and Yu Chengdong let Zhijie S7 take the stage on its own.

On November 28th, 2023, the first model Zhijie S7 jointly developed by Huawei and Chery was announced to be listed in Shanghai.

It is reported that the new car is available in four versions, with a price of 249,800-349,800 yuan, and the starting price is lowered by 8,200 yuan compared with the pre-sale. According to the official introduction, the current order volume has exceeded 20,000 units.

As the first pure electric car of Huawei HarmonyOS Zhixing, Zhijie S7 is deeply empowered by Huawei in the fields of product definition, ID design and user experience.

At the press conference site, through the one-button calling function, the intellectual S7 with no one above the driver’s seat automatically entered the stage. Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, terminal BG CEO and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, said: "Zhijie S7 will launch a number of Huawei black technologies, which will open a new chapter in smart travel."

The brand-new DriveONE 800V silicon carbide high-voltage power platform and Huawei Turing intelligent chassis carried by Zhijie S7 are the key points recommended by Yu Chengdong. A series of data show that the total power of the four-wheel drive combination of front AC asynchronous motor and rear permanent magnet synchronous motor in Zhijie S7 is 365kW, and the acceleration of 0-100km/h is 3.3s. The high-efficiency power system, combined with lightweight body, ultra-low wind resistance and energy recovery strategy, makes its comprehensive power consumption 12.4 kW·h per 100 kilometers, the comprehensive cruising range of CLTC can reach 855km, and the cruising range of 800V super fast charging can be increased by 215km in 5 minutes.

At the same time, Zhijie S7 took the lead in getting on HarmonyOS 4, adding Super Desktop 2.0 and 3D car control desktop, which brought a more easy-to-use and convenient intelligent cockpit experience. The newly upgraded in-vehicle intelligent assistant Xiaoyi supports features such as no wake-up, custom timbre, and can accurately answer users’ questions about vehicle use, such as what to do after a tire puncture.

It is worth mentioning that Zhijie S7 can also realize the only auxiliary parking function of mechanical parking spaces in the industry and support more than 160 parking scenes. If the original parking space is occupied, Zhijie S7 can roam to find a parking space by itself.

According to Huawei’s plan, the parking and driving Beta program will be opened in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Suzhou, Dongguan and other cities in the first quarter of next year, subject to the actual delivery of the products.

The appearance of Zhijie S7 represents Chery’s formal joining in Huawei’s "Car-making Corps". Of course, Chery, Cyrus, BAIC and JAC have all received the invitation from Huawei’s new joint venture company. At the press conference, Yu Chengdong invited FAW to participate. Huawei’s "circle of friends who build cars" is expected to expand rapidly and become more and more popular.
