On September 11, the power plant learned that the Geely Yuantuo 07 officially launched. The limited-time price is under 200,000 yuan (28190$). This shows Geely’s determination to quickly boost sales with the new model. In August, Geely Yuantuo 01 sold 2,117 units, setting a record. Deliveries for July and August doubled compared to the previous months. The Geely Yuantuo 07 comes in three configurations and six body colors. The standard version has a CLTC range of 660 km. The long-range version offers a maximum CLTC range of 880 km. The performance version features a dual-motor all-wheel drive system, accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, and has a CLTC range of 770 km. The official prices are 209,900 yuan (29580$), 229,900 yuan (32400$), and 299,900 yuan (42270$). Geely CEO Xia Yiping stated that the company spent 300 million yuan to move the A-pillar back 65 mm. This adjustment improves body proportions and A-pillar angle, creating the “Venus curve” with the fastback line. The intelligent headlights can illuminate up to 15 basketball courts. The “bivalve hood” enhances the overall feel and low stance of the Yuantuo 07. In a pedestrian collision, the rear of the hood lifts 85 mm. The design includes flush door handles, a fastback and hatchback tailgate, a high-performance automatic rear wing, and a smooth underbody, achieving a drag coefficient as low as Cd0.198. Like the Yuantuo 01, the Yuantuo 07’s interior eliminates most physical buttons. Key features include a 1.96 m² panoramic sunroof, a fifth-generation U-shaped steering wheel, a 35.6-inch 3D integrated display, retractable speakers, comfortable seats, 256-color ambient lighting, Nappa leather seats with ventilation and heating for both front and rear, fully automatic tri-zone climate control, and dual 50W wireless fast charging. The trunk has a standard capacity of 581 L, expandable to 1,573 L with the rear seats down.
The Jiyue 07 uses 800V silicon carbide technology. It charges for 10 minutes to gain 600 km of range. The official claim states it achieves a maximum electric drive efficiency of 96.5%. Its maximum power reaches 530 kW. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds. The top speed can hit 230 km/h. Official tests show the energy consumption is 12.4 kWh per 100 km. Built on Geely’s SEA architecture, the Jiyue 07 features a front all-aluminum double wishbone and a rear all-aluminum H-arm multi-link independent suspension. It uses Brembo four-piston fixed calipers. The real-time damping system responds 500 times per second, ensuring vehicle stability. The armored body employs ultra-high-strength hot-formed steel, high-strength steel, and high-strength aluminum alloy. The body’s torsional rigidity approaches 40,000 N·m/Degree. The roof can support 10.6 tons. The vehicle includes seven space capsule-level airbags. The electric doors come with four millimeter-wave radars and an independent redundant power supply. They provide 5,000 N of unlocking force and an additional 1,000 N of opening force, ensuring passengers can open the doors in extreme conditions.
The Jiyue 07 uses Baidu’s ASD Apollo advanced driving system. ASD allows free movement from point A to point B. It supports functions like lane changing, intelligent speed limits, automatic stop-and-go at traffic lights, autonomous detours, continuous lane changes, yielding to pedestrians, and unprotected left turns. New features include curve AEB and narrow parking assistance. It can handle complex scenarios like highways and urban travel. By the end of 2024, users can access ASD wherever Baidu Maps can navigate. The Jiyue 07 will be able to drive nationwide. The upgraded SIMO 2.0 recognizes quickly, within 500 ms. It operates smoothly even in weak or no network conditions. It supports nearly all vehicle functions and over 10,000 user-defined scenarios. The lip movement recognition boosts voice accuracy in noisy environments to 90%. For in-cabin entertainment and smart connectivity, the Jiyue 07 features Tencent START cloud gaming. Users can enjoy popular games like “Black Myth: Wukong” and “Genshin Impact” inside the car. It also connects with the Baidu ecosystem, smartphones, wearable devices, and Switch for seamless interaction.
