GAC Trumpchi Yue7 to Launch Pre-Orders on September 2, Featuring Box-Style PHEV SUV with Dual-Chamber Air Suspension and Mechanical Differential Locks

GAC Trumpchi's all-new mid-to-large-size plug-in hybrid SUV — the Yue7 — will open pre-orders on September 2, 2026. Designed with a rugged box-style silhouette, the Yue7 targets light off-road scenarios, emphasizing intelligence, modularity, and multi-terrain adaptability — marking a key strategic move by Trumpchi in the new-energy SUV segment.

Exterior styling retains the bold 'boxy' language: a closed front fascia features the GAC lettering at center, flanked by vertical five-row LED headlights — square on the outside, round within. The front bumper is robust, wheel arches are flared, a roof-mounted LiDAR unit is integrated, and sensing modules are mounted on the fenders. Dimensions measure 5045 × 2004 × 1933 mm, with a 2900-mm wheelbase; approach angle is 30°, departure angle 33°, and ground clearance 310 mm — ensuring baseline off-road capability. The rear adopts a side-opening tailgate and features a swappable external 'mini-backpack' module (spare tire or storage box), plus 37 factory-prepared expansion interfaces. Paint options include Taklamakan Sand, Black Solitary Ink, Gongga Silver Peak, and Tai Bai Snow Summit.

The interior prioritizes functionalism and playfulness: sharp, straight-line aesthetics paired with three color schemes — Slate Sand Gold, Basalt Black, and Granite Cloud White. The cabin features a 1.1-meter full-width panoramic interstellar display, offering five themed UI modes — Light Off-Road, Performance, Intelligent Driving, and more — with over 7,000 customizable combinations. The infotainment system runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8838 chip, powers a 15.6-inch 2.5K central touchscreen, and hosts the ADiGO 7.0 Galaxy intelligent cockpit platform — compatible with CarPlay, HiCar, CarLink, and MagicRing multi-protocol connectivity, plus high-orbit satellite communication. Second-row seatbacks are adjustable and fold completely flat to create a 1.9-meter level cargo floor; total trunk capacity reaches 1860 L. The vehicle is equipped with a 20-speaker ADiGO SOUND PRO audio system.

The powertrain combines a next-generation Xingyuan 1.5T engine with an electric motor in a plug-in hybrid architecture, delivering peak engine output of 125 kW. Per official filings, battery options include 28.3 kWh, 38.883 kWh, and 45.975 kWh (CATL Xiaoyao large battery), yielding WLTC all-electric ranges of 116 km, 180 km, and 188 km respectively. The chassis employs a unibody structure with embedded ladder frame, standard dual-chamber air suspension with SDC continuously variable damping shock absorbers. Off-road hardware includes front and rear mechanical differential locks plus an energy-based center lock, paired with a 9+X intelligent all-terrain mode system covering wading, expert, and intelligent driving scenarios.
