On October 17, the new Aion super pure electric sedan Ray7 from Hyper Aion officially launched pre-sales at the National Speed Skating Oval, with a pre-sale price of 128,800 to 158,800 yuan. The new car comes standard across the lineup with 96 high-value configurations, fully maxing out four major dimensions: styling, intelligence, electric powertrain, and chassis, solving the industry pain point that users must compromise when choosing a car. During the pre-sale period, users only need 599 yuan to lock in up to 27,000 yuan in seven-fold benefits. At the same time, Ray7 will serve as the official designated vehicle for the 2026 Beijing Marathon, providing full support for event transportation.
The current mid-to-large pure electric sedan market is rapidly heating up, but most products have obvious shortcomings, often making it difficult to achieve styling, intelligence, range, and handling at the same time, so users always have to make trade-offs when buying a car. Aion Ray7 precisely targets the core demand of young users to "have it all, no compromise," using four hardcore strengths - super styling, super intelligence, super electric powertrain, and super chassis - to set a new standard for a 200,000-yuan-class pure electric sedan with no shortcomings.
In terms of styling, Ray7 is positioned as a large 5-meter super pure electric coupe sedan, equipped with 26 high-value exterior configurations. The new car adopts a low-slung wide-body design, with a golden body ratio of a 1.30 width-to-height ratio and a 0.48 wheel-to-height ratio, combining a strong sense of volume with a sporty stance. The paint uses luxury-car-grade 3C2B technology and ultra-fine metallic aluminum powder material, delivering a premium and refined texture. Paired with a 3.25-meter ultra-long quantum star ring dual-ring light assembly, the lighting is highly recognizable and creates a strong memory point for the whole vehicle.
In terms of intelligent experience, Ray7 is equipped with 30 high-end intelligent configurations, with intelligent driving strength leading its class. The new car features 27 automotive-grade sensors including a 192-line lidar, and is equipped with WeRide's L4-level same-source end-to-end large model algorithm, which has won championships in eight stops of intelligent driving competitions. The system is mature in adapting to high-frequency scenarios such as urban congested car-following, anti-cutting-in, highway lane changes, and low-light passage, making daily commuting more worry-free. The cabin is equipped with the Qualcomm 8295P flagship chip, paired with 24G+128G large storage and a 15.6-inch 2.5K high-definition screen, offering smooth operation and strong expandability to meet the diverse interaction needs of young users.
Electric powertrain performance is one of Ray7's core advantages. Relying on 11 specially upgraded configurations, the new car becomes the world's only large 5-meter pure electric sedan to achieve ultra-low electricity consumption in the 9 kWh range, with CLTC range reaching 702 kilometers, saying goodbye to the industry's inefficient model of "stacking batteries to trade for range." The new car is equipped with Huawei DriveONE multi-in-one electric drive, with system efficiency reaching 92.5%, leading the industry in its high-efficiency range. Combined with Aion's self-developed 28-in-one intelligent thermal management system, it can use waste heat for heating at minus 9°C, effectively improving winter range degradation. At the same time, technologies such as a 0.22Cd ultra-low drag coefficient, lightweight body, and 24-hour dual battery monitoring make range more stable and vehicle use safer.
In terms of chassis and handling, Ray7 is fully equipped with 29 high-end chassis configurations, creating a top-tier pure-blood rear-wheel-drive experience within 300,000 yuan. The new car debuts multiple industry-first technologies, including a chip-level drive-brake fusion architecture, full-wire brake-by-wire, and an intelligent torque control system. Combined with aluminum hybrid double wishbone + five-link sports-car-grade suspension, it achieves comprehensive advancement in handling, comfort, and safety. The vehicle's braking response is only 78 milliseconds, with a 100-to-0 km/h stopping distance of 32.8 meters. It is stable at high speed, does not slip on wet roads, and has a flexible 5.3-meter turning radius that is easy to drive, balancing driving fun and family comfort.
In terms of pricing and benefits, Ray7 is full of sincerity. The pre-sale price of 128,800 to 158,800 yuan allows users to enjoy a class-leading fully equipped experience on an accessible budget. A 599 yuan pre-sale deposit can offset 2,000 yuan of the car price, stacked with a 3,000 yuan subsidy, free custom paint, sport seats, a three-layer silver-coated panoramic roof, exclusive audio upgrades, and points benefits for existing owners. The seven-fold benefits have a total value of up to 27,000 yuan.
From the passive trade-offs of previous models in the same class to Ray7's full max-out, the new car, with the strength of 96 super added configurations, redefines the value ceiling of the 150,000-yuan-class pure electric sedan. With class-leading styling, championship-level intelligent driving, low consumption and long range, and a high-end rear-wheel-drive chassis, Aion Ray7 truly achieves one-step到位 and no compromise in car buying, bringing young users a higher-quality and more comprehensive new choice for pure electric mobility.
