Stay tuned for updated car news from China’s auto industry:
On March 25, Aistaland officially announced the completion of its corporate restructuring. The entity formerly known as Huawei-GAC Automotive Technology (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. has been renamed Aistaland Intelligent Automotive Technology (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., aligning the company name with its brand identity. As a premium intelligent new energy vehicle brand co-created by Huawei Qiankun and GAC Group, Aistaland is entering a new phase of brand development and product delivery in 2026.
According to official statements, Huawei Qiankun and GAC Group have integrated their operations to build Aistaland vehicles, merging Huawei’s technological standards with GAC’s manufacturing expertise. Huawei Qiankun has fully committed its resources—including technology, teams, processes, and philosophy—to ensure deep synergy across intelligent driving, smart cockpits, chassis engineering, and vehicle safety.
The brand’s first mid-to-large sedan, the Aistaland GT7, has already been unveiled and is now accepting pre-orders, with a public debut scheduled for the upcoming Beijing Auto Show in April. Aistaland also confirmed that its second model, an intelligent mid-to-large SUV, will be released later this year, with several more new models planned over the next three years. The GT7 features an elegant, tension-filled design language, highlighted by a closed grille with segmented air intakes and an active grille system for improved aerodynamics. It also boasts a 1,995mm-wide clamshell aluminum hood, enhancing its sporty profile.
At the rear, the vehicle is equipped with “Aistaland Wings” taillights, composed of 526 light sources. These lights utilize a segmented diffuse reflection design to create a “waterfall of light” effect. They also integrate the world’s first ADS waterfall-style blue indicator, which supports customizable scene animations such as welcome displays, parking breathing effects, and light-show sequences. The GT7 measures 5,050/1,980/1,470mm with a 3,000mm wheelbase. It will be available in a variety of colors, including Monte Carlo Red, Chaka Silver, Sicily Orange, Provence Purple, Nice Blue, and梅里 White.
Inside, the GT7 features the next-generation HarmonyOS cockpit, debuting the new “Xiaoyi” intelligent agent. This system offers six specialized assistants, including navigation, dining, vehicle control, encyclopedia, news, and entertainment agents. Additionally, the car is equipped with Huawei SOUND AI, supporting over 10 customized interaction scenarios, and the new-generation Huawei XHUD augmented reality head-up display.
In terms of performance, the GT7 utilizes a tri-motor system paired with a custom-built next-generation CATL Qilin battery. It supports an 800V architecture and 6C ultra-fast charging, capable of adding 1 kilometer of range per second. The GT7 also debuts the Huawei Qiankun Chitu platform, featuring the Huawei XMC digital chassis engine, which enables millisecond-level distributed torque control to significantly enhance handling and stability.
