Overview
The Electra SUV Precursor concept was first revealed at Auto Shanghai 2025 in April with the launch of the Electra sub-brand, alongside the Electra Sedan Precursor concept and Electra MPV Precursor concept which became the Buick Electra L7 and Buick Electra Encasa (GL8 Encasa), respectively.[1][2] The codename of Electra E7 is NCUB[3].
The production Electra E7 was first revealed on 8 January 2026 alongside MIIT regulatory filings which revealed some specifications.[4][5][6] It launched with prices starting from 23200 USD on 22 April 2026.[7]
The Electra E7 is equipped with the brand's Xiaoyao Zhixing ADAS system which is based on Momenta's R6 Flywheel model, along with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8775P SoC powering the infotainment system.[4]
Powertrain
The Electra E7 is available with a debuting plug-in hybrid system called the True Dragon Plug-in Hybrid Pro. It is equipped with a choice of inline-four petrol engines, either a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter outputting 97 hp (72 kW; 98 PS) or a turbocharged 1.5-liter developed specifically for hybrid use outputting 154 hp (115 kW; 156 PS) and 230 N⋅m (170 lb⋅ft) of torque. Both engines are paired with a 221 hp (165 kW; 224 PS) electric motor. Variants with the weaker engine are powered by an LFP battery pack supplied by REPT Battero and have a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph), while the stronger engine is paired with a Zenergy-supplied LFP battery with a 210 km/h (130 mph) top speed.[8] The E7 can get up to 210 km (130 mi) of pure-electric range on the CLTC cycle, and a combined range of up to 1,600 km (994 mi).[4][5][6]
