Dongfeng Motor's new energy brand Yipai (eπ) recently announced that its highly anticipated mid-to-large-sized intelligent sports sedan, the eπ007+, will be launched on November 10th. Built on Dongfeng's Quantum Architecture, this new car is positioned as a "large and composed intelligent entity," offering both pure electric (EV) and extended-range electric (EREV) powertrains. Targeting the 200,000 RMB-level new energy sedan market, it has garnered widespread attention for its superior size, powerful performance, and advanced intelligent features.
Superior Body, Elegant and Dynamic
According to information submitted to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, the eπ007+ boasts impressive dimensions for a mid-to-large-sized sedan, with a length, width, and height of 4880mm x 1895mm x 1460mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2915mm. The vehicle features a fastback coupe design with a drag coefficient as low as 0.209Cd, balancing spaciousness with sporty aesthetics.
Dual-Powertrain Layout, Powerful Performance
Pure Electric Version: Equipped with a high-performance drive motor, delivering a maximum power of 400kW (544 hp), and a large-capacity battery pack (estimated capacity 70.4kWh or higher), the CLTC boasts a pure electric range of up to 540 kilometers. The all-wheel-drive performance version accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 3.9 seconds, performance comparable to a supercar.
Range Extender Version: Featuring a 1.5L naturally aspirated high-efficiency range extender (thermal efficiency exceeding 45%), combined with a high-power motor and a large-capacity battery, the CLTC offers a pure electric range of 106 kilometers. The combined range with a full tank of gas and a fully charged battery is expected to exceed 1200 kilometers, completely eliminating range anxiety.
Advanced Intelligent Driving, Worry-Free Safety
The eπ007+ boasts a wealth of intelligent driving features, equipped with the Black Sesame A1000 chip (58 TOPS computing power) or a higher-end solution, along with one LiDAR, five millimeter-wave radars, twelve ultrasonic radars, and eleven high-definition cameras, forming an all-around perception capability. It supports advanced intelligent driving functions such as highway NOA (Navigation Assist), city memory navigation, and APA fully automatic parking; some versions may also have urban NOA capabilities.
Intelligent Cockpit, Revolutionary Interaction
It is expected to be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 or higher-end chip, a large floating central control screen and a full LCD instrument panel, running a new intelligent vehicle system that supports rich ecosystem applications, intelligent voice interaction (speak anytime, anywhere), OTA upgrades, and more.
Luxurious and Comfortable Features, A Superior Experience
Features include power scissor doors (available on select higher trims or as an option), a panoramic sunroof, intelligent sensor-activated hidden door handles, a speed-sensitive power rear spoiler, frameless doors, a premium audio system (brand to be announced), and an AR-HUD head-up display, enhancing style and comfort. The chassis features a Magic Carpet Chassis (CDC electromagnetic damping system + air suspension), significantly improving ride quality and handling stability.
Ultimate Safety, Safeguarding Your Safety
Built on the Dongfeng Quantum Architecture, the eπ007+ utilizes a high-rigidity body structure, employing 2000MPa hot-formed steel in key areas, and is equipped with comprehensive active and passive safety features, including multiple airbags and a battery safety protection system.
As a flagship model of the Dongfeng Yipai brand, the eπ007+ demonstrates strong competitiveness in the 200,000 RMB-level new energy sedan market thanks to its mid-to-large sedan size, powerful dual-powertrain options (especially the range-extended version addressing range anxiety), leading-edge intelligent driving hardware, and abundant luxury features. Its direct competitors will be popular models such as the BYD Seal, Deepal SL03, Neza S, Xpeng P7i, and Tesla Model 3.
The official price and specific configuration options for the eπ007+ will be revealed at the launch event on November 10th. Combined with its already revealed core strengths and Dongfeng Yipai's brand philosophy of "large yet composed," the eπ007+ has the potential to become a strong dark horse in the 200,000 RMB-level new energy sedan market, bringing consumers a brand-new intelligent electric travel experience. With a 5-meter-long body and 3-second acceleration, and with lidar covering every journey, can the eπ007+ redefine the value benchmark for 200,000 RMB-level sedans? The answer will be revealed in 10 days.
