Aistaland, the premium electric vehicle brand jointly established by GAC Group (HKEX: 2238) and Huawei, opened pre-sales for its debut model, the GT7, on May 29, 2026.The mid-to-large shooting brake secured more than 10,000 orders within the first five hours — a strong opening for a brand entering one of China's most competitive price bands. The GT7's base price of 219,900 CNY (c. $32,500) puts it in direct contention with the Xiaomi (HKEX: 1810) SU7, which also starts at 219,900 CNY. Four variants are available, rising to 249,900 CNY (c. $36,900), 279,900 CNY (c. $41,400), and 309,900 CNY (c. $45,800), with official deliveries scheduled for June 2026.Aistaland GT7 launch pricing (Aistaland)The GT7 adopts a shooting-brake silhouette that sets it apart from the SU7's fastback sedan profile, but the shared price point targets the same pool of younger, tech-focused buyers who drove the SU7's rapid rise after its 2024 debut.The GT7's entry pricing also undercuts shooting-brake rivals ZEEKR (NASDAQ: ZK) 001, which starts from 269,800 CNY, and the NIO (NYSE: NIO) ET5 Touring at 298,000 CNY, by significant margins.Built on an 800V high-voltage architecture, the GT7 rides on Huawei's Qiankun Chitu digital chassis platform with a closed-loop dual-chamber air suspension. Two CATL (HKEX: 3750) battery options are offered — an 86.111 kWh pack and a 102.768 kWh Qilin unit — both supporting 6C fast charging at one kilometre of range per second. CLTC range peaks at 900 km (559 miles) on the larger pack. The entry version is a single-motor rear-wheel-drive system producing 253 kW (340 hp) with a 5.9-second 0–100 km/h time. The range-topping Ultra trim pairs three motors for a combined 768 hp and a 2.98-second sprint.The GT7 measures 5,050 mm in length, 1,980 mm in width, and 1,470 mm in height on a 3,000 mm wheelbase. The shooting-brake body delivers 647 litres of cargo space, expandable to 1,606 litres with the rear seats folded, plus a 215-litre waterproof front trunk.The GT7 is the first production vehicle to run Huawei's Qiankun ADS 5.0 intelligent driving system, and is hardware-ready for L3 autonomy. Aistaland says it has secured an L3 road-test licence in Guangzhou and completed 200,000 km of real-world L3 testing. The Ultra trim runs a 36-sensor suite including a next-generation 896-line dual-path imaging LiDAR — currently the highest line-count sensor in mass production — alongside a D-TOF solid-state LiDAR. Inside, HarmonySpace 6 powers a 15.6-inch floating display, an 8.88-inch instrument cluster, and an 88-inch AR-HUD, with a 21-speaker 7.1.4 Huawei Sound system.Aistaland plans to open 300 stores across 70 cities by the end of June, and confirmed a second model — the GX7 SUV — is in development.With Xiaomi targeting 550,000 deliveries in 2026, Huawei's counter arrives at the same entry price and with arguably the deepest technology stack in the segment — whether a shooting brake can pull buyers away from a sedan that has already reset expectations will become clearer once the GT7 hits the road.Conversion rate: 1 USD = 6.77 CNY as of May 29, 2026
