The made-in-China premium-EV landscape gained another HIMA-stamped nameplate on June 26, 2026. Guangzhou Automobile and Huawei co-launched the Qijing GT7 — the inaugural product from their new HIMA partner brand Qijing (启境) — pricing a 5,050 mm shooting-brake at 209,900 to 329,900 RMB (roughly $28,950 to $45,500). The headline play is volume positioning: a fully Huawei-bundled electric liftback that opens below the AITO M5 and undercuts every previous HIMA-tagged competitor we have benchmarked over the past 12 months.
Key Highlights from the Launch Sheet
Five trims sit on a Huawei 800V architecture with 6C ultra-fast charging that clocks a 10-to-80 percent top-up in 11.8 minutes. The standard 209,900 RMB single-motor RWD trim delivers 340 horsepower and 770 km of CLTC range using a CATL Shenxing LFP pack. Stepping into the 269,900 RMB long-range tier unlocks a 900 km CLTC reading on a CATL Qilin NMC pack. At the top, the 329,900 RMB Ultra+ Tri-motor AWD lands 768 horsepower and a 2.98-second sprint to 100 km/h — figures normally reserved for cars priced two segments higher.
What Makes This a HIMA Volume Anchor
Qijing is the latest partner brand sitting alongside AITO, Stelato, Maextro, Luxeed and Shanghe within Huawei’s Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance. The GT7 carries the full software stack: HarmonySpace cabin OS, Qiankun ADS 5 driver-assistance, an 88-inch HUAWEI X HUD augmented-reality head-up display, 21-speaker HUAWEI SOUND audio, and the XPIXEL twin-million-pixel projector headlamps that double as outdoor cinema. Where Qijing departs from earlier HIMA brands is the entry-price floor — 209,900 RMB is meaningfully below the AITO M5 (250,000+ RMB) and the Stelato S9 (398,000 RMB), pointing toward a deliberate volume mandate inside the alliance.
Why the Specification Matters
GAC and Huawei are pricing the GT7 directly against the Xiaomi SU7, Tesla Model 3, Zeekr 001 and Avatr 06T cohort, but the body style — a 5,050 mm mid-large shooting brake — is one segment larger than the Model 3 and SU7. That gives Qijing a body-style moat the dual-motor Shanghe Z7T cannot match, and 6C charging that beats the SU7’s 5.2C peak. iEVChina has the full trim-by-trim launch breakdown, including the chassis, ADS 5 sensor stack and the HarmonySpace cabin tear-down.
