GAC has put its S7 large plug-in hybrid SUV on course for right-hand drive markets, confirming that global RHD production will begin in the second half of 2027. The five-seat crossover appeared at Sydney's Everything Electric show and was shown in left-hand drive form at a November 2025 event, and it is being positioned as a flagship to sit atop the young Australian lineup alongside the M8 PHEV people mover. GAC Australia has left itself room to manoeuvre, saying it is only "looking to add" the model without committing to a showroom date.
The drivetrain pairs a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a 170kW front motor and an 80kW rear motor, drawing from a 36.3kWh LFP battery. GAC quotes 150km of electric range on the NEDC cycle and as much as 1020km of combined range on the more generous CLTC cycle. While Chinese buyers can also choose a front-drive version with a smaller 21.3kWh pack, the company appears set to offer Australians only the dual-motor all-wheel drive layout.
At 4900mm long on a 2880mm wheelbase, the S7 pitches closer in size to the Toyota Kluger than the Geely Monjaro it is often grouped with. Chinese-market cars carry a 15.6-inch touchscreen, an 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof and a comprehensive active-safety suite, with higher grades adding items like a 22-speaker audio system and a 17.3-inch 3K rear entertainment screen. No Australian pricing or specification has been disclosed.
In production in China since 2025 under the Trumpchi marque, the S7 would join a local GAC range that currently blends Trumpchi models such as the Emzoom and M8 with Aion-badged EVs like the UT and V.
