GAC Group Executive Committee member and brand marketing head Huang Yongqiang said, “GAC Motor’s new series embodies our commitment to beautiful travel.” In terms of design, the GAC Motor Envision S7 draws inspiration from the four extreme points of mainland China. It cleverly integrates stunning scenery into the car’s colors. Dawn Red comes from the first rays of sunlight in the extreme east. Rainforest Green originates from the tropical rainforest in the extreme south. Moonlight Gray takes its hue from the moonlight in the extreme west. Crystal Black draws from the polar night in the extreme north. These colors carry a sense of exploration and convey GAC Motor Envision S7’s wishes for users to discover interesting boundaries and embrace beauty in everyday life.
The GAC Trumpchi Xiangwang S7 responds to users’ desire for travel. It features a new design language, “Hidden Sharpness in Smoothness.” This design combines smooth curves with sharp lines. It showcases the Xiangwang series’ high-end aesthetic of “elegance and expressiveness.” The exterior of the Xiangwang S7 meets users’ needs for spaciousness and high capability in a family SUV. It has a commanding stance with dimensions of 4900mm by 1950mm by 1780mm and a wheelbase of 2880mm. It boasts the highest body height in its class and a maximum ground clearance of 200mm.
