Huawei unveils upgraded Luxeed S7 variants

Huawei Technologies Co on Thursday unveiled the upgraded versions of its Luxeed S7 electric sedan in partnership with Chery Auto, as the Chinese tech company aims to expand its presence in the burgeoning but increasingly crowded new energy vehicle market in the country.

Available at a starting price of about 250,000 yuan ($35,000) in China, the Luxeed S7 will compete directly with Xiaomi's SU7 sedans, which have gone viral online after its release late last month.

Yu Chengdong, head of Huawei's smart vehicle business unit, said the company is expanding collaboration with partners in the Chinese automotive industry to usher in a new era of smart electric vehicles, leading the comprehensive transformation of intelligent automobiles.
