Made-in-China Shooting Brake Lands a Huawei Brain: Qiyuan GT7 Pairs ADS 5 and HarmonyOS 6 with a 2.98 s Tri-Motor Sprint at RMB 219,900-309,900

Qiyuan, the premium NEV brand jointly built by GAC Group and Huawei’s Qiankun ecosystem, will launch its first model — the Qiyuan GT7 shooting brake — on June 26, 2026, with pre-sale pricing of RMB 219,900-309,900 (roughly USD 30,300-42,800). To prep for the launch, the brand has stood up about 300 stores across 70 cities, split between Huawei Qiankun ADS Demo Centers and Qiyuan User Centers. For overseas observers tracking the Huawei automotive expansion, this is significant: the GT7 is the first model from a formal Huawei-and-traditional-OEM joint venture that runs under its own brand name rather than the HIMA (AITO / Stelato / Luxeed / Maextro / Shangjie) umbrella.

Key Highlights

The GT7 is dimensioned at 5,050 mm long with a 3,000 mm wheelbase and ships on an 800 V high-voltage architecture. The performance trim runs a tri-motor AWD setup that clears 0-100 km/h in 2.98 seconds; the value trim is a single-motor RWD. Battery options are a CATL-Huawei-Qiyuan co-developed second-generation Kirin pack at 86.111 kWh or 102.768 kWh, with the larger pack rated for up to 900 km of CLTC range and 6C ultra-fast charging. Suspension is double-wishbone front, H-arm multi-link rear, with closed dual-chamber air springs and continuous-damping dampers across all trims — the same chassis spec previously seen on the Maextro S800.

Why the ADS 5 and HarmonyOS 6 Combo Matters

The GT7 is the launch vehicle for Huawei Qiankun ADS 5, the latest generation of Huawei’s full-stack intelligent driving system. The hardware pre-wires for L3 conditional autonomy and uses a dual-light-path 896-line image-class LiDAR, currently the highest-resolution mass-production unit, alongside 11 HD cameras, 5 mmWave radars and 12 ultrasonics. Huawei has confirmed the GT7 has cleared Guangzhou’s L3 road-test permit, putting it on track for some of the first closed-route L3 testing on Chinese city streets later in 2026. The cabin debuts HarmonySpace 6 on a non-HIMA badge — a 15.6-inch floating central screen, a narrow 8.88-inch cluster, and an 88-inch AR-HUD, plus PDLC zone-by-zone dimming on the panoramic roof.

What’s Next

Dealer channel feedback points to GAC provisioning for 10,000-15,000 units per month from Q4 2026 onwards, which would make the GT7 GAC’s most successful single-nameplate launch since the original Aion Y. The strategic question for the wider made-in-China Huawei automotive story is whether ADS 5 plus HarmonySpace 6 outside the HIMA umbrella can carry the same premium price elasticity as inside it.
