Overview

Luxeed R7 rear

Less than a year after the June 2024 inauguration of the new brand Luxeed from HIMA, the automotive branch of the technology giant Huawei, a second model was presented, complementing the portfolio previously created by the large, higher-class S7 sedan.

The R7 took the form of a large coupe SUV, which extensively reproduced the styling features of the first product of the Chinese brand.[1] The body has gained rounded wheel arches, a gently sloping roofline with a clearly marked rear spoiler line, and a large, wide light blend connecting the oval lamps. The front fascia is dominated by large headlights, cut at the lower edge, and other characteristic details include retractable door handles, a radar segment at the edge of the windshield and a glass roof.[2]

The passenger cabin has a light tone, with a characteristic oval steering wheel and high-mounted 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster protruding towards the windshield. At the center of the dashboard there is a 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system using Huawei's HarmonyOS software and working with the Huawei Sound system.[3][4]

Specifications

The R7 has a fully electric drivetrain, which is equipped with one or two motors. The base variant has a 82kWh battery pack paired with a 288 horsepower (215 kW; 292 PS) rear motor and a CLTC range rating of 667 kilometres (414 mi), while the top version has a 100kWh pack paired with a 489 horsepower (365 kW; 496 PS) dual-motor all-wheel drive system with 855 kilometres (531 mi) of range. It uses an 800V electrical architecture, and is equipped with a fast charging system.
