Huawei's new electric car is a missile for Tesla

The new car from Huawei and Chery has gone on sale in China. The Luxeed S7 is a sedan with up to 800 kilometers of autonomy (according to the Chinese approval cycle) developed in collaboration with Chery Automobile, a Chinese company that has been operating since 1997. An electric car that aims directly at the Tesla Model S and that has one of the most spectacular autonomous parking technologies ever seen, currently in the testing phase.

Before talking about the car, it is worth explaining where Luxeed comes from. Huawei has been in full foray into the world of electric cars for some time. Its success has been demonstrated in models such as the Avatr 12 or the Aito M5, vehicles that do not belong to the Huawei group, but that use HarmonyOS technology.

Luxeed is even more important to the company. It is a new brand created in collaboration between Huawei and the Chinese giant Chery Automobile, with points of sale in its home territory... within Huawei's own stores. From this collaboration comes the Luxeed S7.

It has a total of 11 high-definition cameras, three millimeter wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars and LiDAR. Thanks to this deployment, it achieves autonomous driving focused mainly on parking. A video was shown on Weibo showing how the car is capable of maneuvering autonomously through a parking lot and parking in fairly narrow spaces, showing Huawei's muscle with this technology.

As is usual in China, the price of the vehicle is far from the figures we could see in Europe. In its homeland it starts at 258,000 yuan (about 32,760 euros) for the base variant and goes up to 326,000 yuan (41,395 euros) for the version that promises 800 km of autonomy under the Chinese cycle. There is no news, at the moment, about Luxed's possible arrival in Europe.
