As a powerful entry of SAIC MAXUS into the high-end MPV market, the MAXUS G10, which has only been on the market for over 3 months, welcomed its facelift at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November. The prices of the base and mid-range models of the new car have been significantly reduced compared to the current models, but the configuration has basically remained unchanged, showing sincerity. It is not difficult to see that in the current downturn of the domestic car market, the competition pressure faced by car companies is huge.
The above manufacturer’s suggested retail price represents only the price of November 22, 2023. If there is any change, please refer to the official website. The 2024 model of the Maxus Dajia 7 was officially launched at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show, with a total of 5 models and a price range of 219,800 to 304,800 yuan (42710$).

So for consumers who are waiting to buy, how to choose the 2024 SAIC Maxus Dajia 7? This issue of “Car Buying Guide” will provide the answer. I. Brief Introduction of the Models
In terms of appearance, the 2024 Great Wall 7 adopts a “cosmic helmet” design on the front face, with straight lines and integrated LED daytime running lights, as well as a “matrix flying wing” split headlight design, creating a geometric and futuristic look. The side of the car transitions smoothly, with a straight waistline extending from the front fender to the rear, giving the car a very slender appearance. It is worth mentioning that the new car is the only MPV model with a hidden door handle design, which helps to reduce aerodynamic drag. According to official data, the 2024 Great Wall 7 has a drag coefficient of 0.268Cd. In addition, the new car has a body size of 4907mm*1885mm*1756mm and a wheelbase of 2975mm, consistent with the current model. The rear of the new car has a simple design, with a large spoiler at the top and vertically placed three-dimensional taillights connected to the rear fenders, creating a shape resembling the number 7 when illuminated, with high recognition.
In 2024, the entire lineup of the Jia 7 is equipped with 18-inch low-drag wheels, with a unique five-spoke fan blade design, matched with 225/55 R18 tires.
In terms of body color, the 2024 Great Wall 7 has 4 colors to choose from: pearl white, obsidian black, ice emerald green, and a dual-tone color with meteor gray body and black roof. There is less room for choice. Among them, ice emerald green is the official flagship color, which is more in line with the positioning of new energy vehicles, while the other colors are more conventional.
In terms of interior, the new car adopts the minimalist design style mainstream in new energy vehicles. Except for the entry-level model, all other models are equipped with a floating triple screen consisting of a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel + 12.3-inch central control screen + 12.3-inch co-pilot entertainment screen. At the same time, the air conditioning vents in the car adopt a through design, effectively stretching the visual width of the car. Due to the adoption of a floating gear design, the central control area has a larger available area, providing wireless charging function in addition to two cup holders with limiters.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a front-mounted single motor, with a total power of 180kW and a total torque of 350N·m. The battery uses SAIC’s ternary lithium battery, with energy capacities of 77kWh and 90kWh, corresponding to CLTC pure electric ranges of 527km and 605km.
