This update represents more than just an annual refresh; it also introduces a brand-new "Vibrant Orange" exterior paint color—symbolizing "the first ray of light at dawn"—aimed at infusing the products with greater vitality and passion. Below, drawing upon official teasers, regulatory filing data from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), and online reports, we provide a comprehensive analysis of these two highly anticipated new vehicles.
Launch Date: March 23, 2026 (Huawei Spring All-Scenario New Product Launch Event).
Models to be Launched: 2026 New LUXEED R7 (Mid-to-Large Coupe SUV), 2026 New LUXEED S7 (Mid-to-Large Sedan).
Key Highlight: Both models will feature the addition of a "Vibrant Orange" body color option.
Upgrade Focus: Enhancements are expected in exterior details and configuration options, further elevating the products' overall competitiveness.
2.1 Exterior & Dimensions: Dynamic Styling, Practical Space
Positioned as a mid-to-large coupe SUV, the new LUXEED R7 features body dimensions of 4,956 mm (length) × 1,981 mm (width) × 1,634 mm (height), with a wheelbase measuring 2,950 mm and a low drag coefficient of just 0.219. The new vehicle's exterior is expected to carry forward the sporty aesthetic of the current model. Furthermore, according to regulatory filings with the MIIT, the vehicle will offer a wide array of personalized optional accessories—including various styles of front and rear bumpers, wheel rims, fender flares, window trim, rear spoilers (available in body color or silver), side mirrors, and decorative panels—catering to users' diverse preferences regarding vehicle aesthetics. According to online reports, the updated R7 may feature an entirely new graphic logo and an optimized front lighting design, enhancing its sense of sophistication.
2.2 Powertrain and Range: Dual-Route Strategy to Eliminate Range Anxiety
The new LUXEED R7 continues to offer two distinct powertrain options—pure electric and extended-range—to cater to the diverse needs of different users.
Extended-Range Version: Equipped with a 1.5T range extender (Model SQRH4J15) manufactured by Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. This engine features a displacement of 1,499 cc and a maximum net power output of 105 kW. Utilizing Huawei's "Snow Owl" Intelligent Range Extension System, it is available in both single-motor (227 kW combined power) and dual-motor (382 kW combined power) configurations. Its CLTC pure-electric range spans from 251 km to 360 km, while its WLTC fuel consumption in charge-sustaining mode can be as low as 5.68 L/100 km, striking an excellent balance between economic efficiency and long-distance travel convenience. The dual-motor version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds.
Pure Electric Version: Built upon an 800V high-voltage platform, this version offers a choice between rear-wheel drive (215 kW maximum power) and all-wheel drive (365 kW combined power). The all-wheel-drive variant boasts robust performance, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in as little as 3.9 seconds. Its CLTC pure-electric range reaches up to 802 km, and it supports rapid charging capabilities, allowing for an additional 200 km of range after just 5 minutes of charging.
2.3 Intelligent and Comfort Features: Dual Flagships—HarmonyOS Cockpit and Intelligent Driving
Intelligent Driving: The entire model lineup is expected to come standard with Huawei's advanced intelligent driving system. Based on the current model, it features the HUAWEI ADS system, equipped with a powerful suite of sensing hardware—including a roof-mounted 192-line LiDAR unit, a rear-facing high-precision solid-state LiDAR, and 4D millimeter-wave radars—to support a wide array of functions such as urban and highway NCA (Intelligent Driving Navigation Assistance) and automated valet parking.
Intelligent Cockpit: Integrated with the HarmonyOS Intelligent Cockpit, the system supports multi-screen interaction and the "Super Desktop" feature, delivering a seamless and interconnected intelligent ecosystem experience. High-end trims may feature dual "zero-gravity" seats for both the driver and front passenger, along with a 21-speaker HUAWEI SOUND audio system, creating a first-class cabin experience.
Interior Space: As an SUV, the vehicle boasts a standard trunk capacity of 837 liters; with the rear seats folded down, this expands to 2,130 liters, offering exceptional cargo-carrying capability.
3.1 Exterior & Dimensions: An Elegant Stance with Low Aerodynamic Drag
Positioned as a mid-to-large-sized sedan, the new LUXEED S7 measures 4,971 mm in length, 1,963 mm in width, and 1,474 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,950 mm. Adopting a "OneBox" design philosophy, the new vehicle achieves an ultra-low drag coefficient of just 0.203 Cd; this not only optimizes energy efficiency but also endows the vehicle with an elegant and dynamic aesthetic. Similar to the R7, the S7 facelift focuses on refining and diversifying exterior trim elements—offering optional features such as different bumper styles, wheel rims, and privacy glass—to enhance overall premium quality and personalization options.
3.2 Powertrain & Handling: 800V Architecture Across the Lineup—A Performance Benchmark
The new LUXEED S7 lineup consists entirely of pure electric models, all of which come standard with an 800V high-voltage platform.
Performance: Two powertrain configurations are available: a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) version with a maximum output of 215 kW, and an all-wheel-drive (AWD) version with a combined output of 365 kW. The AWD variant, in particular, delivers formidable performance, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and achieving a braking distance of 33.5 meters from 100 km/h—demonstrating exceptional handling capabilities.
Range & Efficiency: The CLTC-rated pure electric driving range spans from 703 km to 855 km, comfortably meeting the demands of typical long-distance travel. The vehicle also boasts excellent energy consumption control, with efficiency figures as low as 12.4 kWh/100 km; a mere 5 minutes of charging can add 215 km of driving range.
Chassis System: The entire lineup is equipped with the "Tuling Intelligent Chassis" system. It is expected to feature CDC (Continuous Damping Control) shock absorbers and air suspension, striking a perfect balance between ride comfort and sporty handling.
3.3 Smart Technology: Maintaining the Lead
The new LUXEED S7 is expected to inherit and upgrade the intelligent features of the current model, with the entire lineup coming standard with Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving hardware (such as 192-line LiDAR) and the HUAWEI ADS system. Regarding the cabin experience, core technologies—such as the Harmony Intelligent Cockpit and multi-screen connectivity (e.g., HUAWEI MagLink)—will continue to provide users with a smart mobility experience.
As key models under the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA), the LUXEED R7 and S7 have already established a strong reputation within their respective market segments, thanks to their outstanding electric powertrain technology and leading intelligent driving and cabin experiences. This mid-cycle refresh—featuring the addition of a "Vibrant Orange" color option and a series of detailed optimizations—aims to further appeal to young, individuality-seeking consumers while reinforcing the brand's image of "technological luxury."
The launch event on March 23rd will unveil the full details of the upgrades, as well as the final configurations and pricing for these two new vehicles—an event well worth the anticipation of any consumer interested in intelligent electric vehicles.
