Deliveries and commercial positioning
SAIC has announced that deliveries of the Rongwei Jiayue 07 will begin across China on November 1, according to IT之家. The model had been presented on October 23 in four versions, with a time-limited promotional price ranging from 11.98 to 14.48 million yuan. The communication therefore combines two distinct moments: the commercial launch in late October and the start of customer deliveries in early November.
The relevant figure is not only the price but the positioning: a five-seat car with a 2,908 mm wheelbase and a length of 4,900 mm, offered at a list price that places it in the mid-range of the Chinese market. The source does not clarify how many orders have been collected or what the volume targets are, elements that remain to be verified.
Cabin and Doubao assistant
The technological novelty emphasized in the communication is the debut, claimed as an industry first, of the Doubao onboard assistant. According to IT之家, the system supports facial expressions, account recognition via FaceID, integration with the Doubao app, dialects and foreign languages, as well as voice control of multiple vehicle functions and management of multi-voice conversations without interruptions.
The cabin includes two 15.6-inch screens with 2.5K resolution, ambient lighting and a refrigerator with heating and cooling functions capable, according to the source, of producing ice in ten minutes. Six exterior colors and three interior combinations are available. These are features declared by the manufacturer; their actual performance in use cannot be verified with the available material.
Assisted driving and specifications
For assisted driving, the company indicates an integrated package that combines the Momenta R7 world model with the XHEART X7 chip dedicated to large models. The source cites vertical parking in tight spaces with a 20 cm margin on each side, adaptation to more than 300 types of parking spaces and scenarios such as parking on a dead-end street, parking with exit from the vehicle and the edge-alignment function, as well as compatibility with NOA functions in the city and on highways.
The powertrain is an extended-range system with two batteries, of 32.6 and 44.2 kWh, which according to the data provided guarantee 220 and 320 km respectively in electric mode, up to a maximum of 1,480 km of total range. The article does not indicate consumption or charging times, and the range figures should be considered manufacturer claims pending independent tests. It also remains to be clarified how the announced assisted-driving functions perform on the market, as they depend on operating conditions that are not described.
