The new Huawei and Chery car has been sold in China. Luxeed S7 is a berlin with up to 800 kilometres of autonomy (according to the Chinese approval cycle) developed in cooperation with Chery Automobile, a Chinese march operating since 1997. An electric car that directly targets the Tesla Model S and has one of the most spectacular self-parking technologies ever seen, at the moment in the testing phase.
Before talking about the car, you should explain where Luxeed comes from. Huawei has been in full penetration into the world of electric cars. 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 employ Waukee technology.
Luxeed is even more important for the company. It is a new brand created in collaboration with Huawei with the Chinese giant Chery Automobile, with points of sale in its homeland... inside Huawei's own stores. Luxeed S7 emerged from this collaboration.
It has a total of 11 HD cameras, three millimeter wave radars, 12 ultra sonic radars and LiDAR. Thanks to this deployment, it achieves autonomous driving focused mainly on the parking. In Weibo we have seen a video of how the car is able to manoeuvre autonomously by a car park and park in quite narrow squares, 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 their homeland, part of 258,000 yuan (about 32,760 euros) for the base variant and rises to 326,000 yuan (41,395 euros) for the version promising 800 km of autonomy under Chinese cycle. There is no news, for the time being, of the possible arrival in Europe of Luxed.
