The 2026 SAIC Z7T officially launched on April 22, 2026. As the first shooting brake model under the HIMA brand, it seamlessly blends the aesthetics of a coupe with the practicality of a station wagon. The entire lineup is built upon the Nebula E1 pure-electric architecture and the Huawei Turing Intelligent Chassis. Standard features across all trims include an 800V high-voltage platform, the Huawei "Whale" Battery, an 896-line dual-path imaging-grade LiDAR system, and the HarmonyOS Cockpit 4.0—delivering a high-value experience where "no options are required; the standard configuration is the top-tier configuration." The vehicle measures 5036 × 1976 × 1465 mm, with a wheelbase of 3000 mm, and features a 5-door, 5-seat layout. The trunk offers a standard volume of 565 liters; with the rear seats supporting a 4:2:4 split-fold configuration, the maximum cargo capacity expands to 1694 liters. The trunk opening measures a maximum of 874 mm, allowing it to easily accommodate two 28-inch and two 24-inch suitcases—making it perfectly suited for urban commuting, weekend camping trips, and long-distance travel.
The entire series is equipped with the Huawei "Whale" Battery, supporting 8C ultra-fast charging technology. It requires just 0.25 hours to charge from 30% to 80%, boasting industry-leading energy replenishment efficiency. The intelligent cockpit features a 15.6-inch rotatable, adaptive 4D screen (supporting both telescopic depth adjustment and automatic left-right swivel), a 12.3-inch full-LCD instrument cluster, and a "Co-pilot Inspiration Window." Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, the system enables seamless interactive experiences such as "See-and-Speak" (voice commands based on on-screen visuals), "Multi-zone Voice Recognition," and "Seamless Mobile Integration." The audio system consists of a 21-speaker HUAWEI SOUND panoramic surround setup; combined with the ALPS Healthy Cockpit 2.0 and a nano-water-ion air conditioning system, it creates a quiet, healthy, and comfortable driving environment. The intelligent driving system comes standard across the entire model lineup, featuring an 896-line LiDAR unit, 11 cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. This configuration establishes a 360° perception network with zero blind spots, enabling a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance functions for all scenarios—including mapless urban NOA, automatic roundabout navigation, unprotected left turns, "Parking-to-Parking" (P2P 2.0) navigation, and memory parking. The system boasts an intervention frequency that is 45% lower than the industry average; it can detect low-lying obstacles as small as 14 cm at a distance of over 120 meters, and it maintains stable, reliable performance even in adverse conditions such as rain, fog, or strong backlighting.
The exterior design centers on a "Metropolitan Shooting Brake Aesthetic." The front fascia features "Galaxy Headlights" composed of 408 laser-illuminated points, while the rear is adorned with "Nebula Scroll Taillights" comprising 13,000 precision-cut diamond-like facets, which create dynamic light trails when illuminated. The vehicle's profile is accented by functional air vents and ducts, complemented by a staggered tire setup—245/45 R20 for the front wheels and 275/40 R20 for the rear—to further accentuate its sporty character.
SAIC Z7T 2026 Model: Max Edition (Single-Motor, Rear-Wheel Drive)
As the entry-level model, the Max Edition is built upon the core philosophy of "High-Spec Parity." It is equipped with an 81 kWh "Giant Whale" Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, offering a CLTC-rated pure electric range of 712 km. The powertrain features a rear-mounted single motor delivering a maximum power output of 264 kW (359 hp) and a peak torque of 460 N·m. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds, offering linear power response that ensures stable and reliable performance for both urban commuting and high-speed cruising.
The intelligent driving system remains consistent with the rest of the lineup, coming standard with the 896-line LiDAR unit and the Huawei Qiankun ADS 4.1 platform. It supports full-scenario mapless urban NOA and automatic parking capabilities, with absolutely no hardware downgrades compared to the higher-tier models. The intelligent cockpit configurations are fully synchronized across the lineup, featuring a 15.6-inch Adaptive 4D Screen, a 21-speaker HUAWEI SOUND system, the "Inspiration Window" for the front passenger, and the HarmonyOS Cockpit 4.0. The interior is wrapped in soft-touch leather, and standard equipment includes front-seat ventilation and heating, as well as 50W wireless fast charging. This delivers exceptional value—offering a "fully loaded experience right from the entry level"—making it the top choice for those seeking both intelligent features and practical driving range.
SAIC Z7T 2026 Model: Max+ (Single-Motor, Rear-Wheel Drive)
Building upon the Max edition, the Max+ variant focuses on significantly boosting driving range to ensure worry-free long-distance travel. The battery has been upgraded to a 100kWh ternary lithium unit, increasing the CLTC-rated pure electric range to 873 km. This positions it as one of the longest-range models among pure electric shooting brakes in its class, effectively meeting the "charge once a week" requirement for inter-city commuting.
The powertrain remains identical to that of the Max edition—a 264 kW single-motor, rear-wheel-drive configuration—delivering a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 5.8 seconds, with absolutely no compromise on performance.
The intelligent driving and cockpit configurations are fully synchronized with the Max edition; while no additional hardware has been added, software optimizations have been implemented to enhance voice response fluidity and multi-screen collaboration efficiency.
The core upgrade lies in the air suspension system, which significantly improves ride comfort over complex road surfaces and enhances stability during cornering. Additionally, the vehicle now features multi-layer sound-insulating glass throughout and independent rear-seat air vents, further bolstering cabin quietness and overall ride quality during long journeys. Precisely positioned with the philosophy of "Range is King, Experience Uncompromised," this model is the ideal choice for frequent long-distance drivers and those prone to range anxiety.
SAIC Z7T 2026 Model: Ultra Dual-Motor AWD Edition
As the benchmark for flagship performance, the Ultra edition features a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. With a front motor output of 170 kW and a rear motor output of 264 kW, it delivers a combined maximum power of 434 kW (590 hp) and a peak torque of 760 N·m. Accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.44 seconds, its power response is as instantaneous as a lightning bolt cleaving through the air, pushing its performance capabilities to the level of a supercar.
The battery capacity mirrors that of the Max+ edition—a 100 kWh ternary lithium battery—offering a CLTC range of 776 km. This ensures high endurance even while delivering powerful performance. Through the *Tuling Intelligent Chassis's Active Torque Distribution* and *Wet-Road Anti-Slip Algorithms*, the vehicle achieves exceptional handling stability and supports a dedicated *Ice and Snow Drift Mode*.
In terms of intelligent driving, this edition is the only model in the entire lineup equipped with an *896-line LiDAR sensor* paired with the *ADS 4.1 Full Version* system. It supports seamless, hands-free assistance across a full spectrum of scenarios—including *P2P 2.0 Parking-to-Parking Navigation*, *Automatic Obstacle Avoidance*, *Unprotected Left Turns*, and *Roundabout Navigation*. The system boasts a decision-making latency of less than 100 ms, having already accumulated a safe driving mileage exceeding 10.5 million kilometers.
The interior has undergone a comprehensive upgrade, now featuring standard equipment such as *Nappa leather seats*, *front-seat ventilation/heating/massage functions*, *128-color dynamic ambient lighting*, *Active Noise Cancellation 3.0*, and an *Intelligent Fragrance System*. Furthermore, it introduces *Exterior Voice Control* and *Intelligent Welcome Lighting Sequences* for the first time, creating the ultimate embodiment of a "Mobile Performance Art Space."
Externally, the vehicle is fitted with *20-inch sports alloy wheels* and an *exclusive Ultra emblem*. Its distinct identity is subtly distinguished solely by a *charging port badge* and a *rear "Dual-Motor" nameplate*, thereby realizing the ultimate product philosophy: "Consistent Intelligent Driving, Elevated Performance."
