GAC Honda P7 has undergone extremely stringent tests at every stage from development to mass production. In the process of automobile development, environmental adaptability testing is a crucial part of the process. the P7 underwent a low-temperature test of tens of degrees below zero in the frigid Polar Regions, where the vehicle's battery performance, electronic system, and the cold resistance of various components were all faced with great challenges under such extreme environments. At the same time, it also underwent high-temperature testing in the hot desert region, where the engine heat dissipation, interior air-conditioning cooling and heat resistance of materials were fully verified in an environment where the surface temperature could reach 70 to 80 degrees.
In addition, the P7 has undergone over 1 million kilometres of endurance testing. This means that the vehicle has to be driven in a variety of different road conditions, including congested city roads, bumpy country lanes, motorways, etc., simulating the various situations that consumers may encounter during actual use. Through such long time and long mileage tests, the durability and reliability of the vehicle as well as the wear and tear of its components can be accurately assessed. It is only after such rigorous testing that the high-quality vehicle we see today is finally presented.
The P7 is clearly positioned as a B-segment SUV for families, and with the rapid development of new energy technologies, the three electric technologies (battery, motor and electronic control) are undoubtedly the core competitiveness of new energy vehicles. GAC Honda has upgraded the three electric technologies on the P7, making it stand out in the new energy market in a unique way. More efficient battery technology not only improves the vehicle's range, but also shortens the charging time; advanced motor technology brings stronger power output and smoother driving experience; and precise electronic control technology ensures the coordinated operation of the vehicle's various systems, improving overall performance and safety.
The design of the front end is the first impression of the GAC Honda P7, where Honda's classic H logo has been given a new interpretation. the logo font has been slightly changed to become more modern, as if it is a perfect collision of tradition and modernity. At the same time, a luminescent design has been added. When the light is dim, the light-up logo flashes like a bright star in the night sky. This bright label design not only greatly enhances the aesthetics of the vehicle, but also makes the Honda brand recognition stand out among many other models. GAC Honda's dedication and craftsmanship to this product can be seen in the details, and every design element has been carefully considered, aiming to bring consumers a unique visual experience.
The front end as a whole follows Honda's usual low-slung wide-body elements. Although the P7 is positioned as an SUV, from the outside it presents an image that is closer to a sedan style. This design skilfully combines calm and sporty elements closely. For family users, the vehicle's sense of steadiness is very important, which represents safety and reliability; while the sporty elements add a youthful and fashionable vigour to the vehicle, which satisfies the aesthetic needs of consumers of different age groups. Whether it is the individuality and fashion that young consumers pursue, or the practicality and safety that mature and stable family users focus on, they can all find their favourite elements in the P7's front-end design.
In terms of body dimensions, the GAC Honda P7 has a decent performance. With a length of 4750mm, a width of 1930mm, a height of 1625mm and a wheelbase of 2930mm, such dimensions are positioned to take a clear advantage in the B-segment SUV segment, and are even a little close to the realm of C-segment SUVs. Among them, the width and wheelbase are particularly outstanding. The wider body not only makes the vehicle more stable in the driving process, but also provides a spacious and comfortable lateral riding space for the occupants, so passengers can stretch their bodies and enjoy a comfortable journey. The long wheelbase of 2,930mm ensures legroom in the front and rear rows of the vehicle, so that even on long journeys, passengers will not feel constricted.
In terms of height, although affected by the SUV structure, the P7 has a moderate height increase. It safeguards the headroom of the occupants so that passengers don't feel oppressed, but also maintains the overall coherence of the vehicle. It's worth noting that despite the vehicle's long dimensions being classified in the A-segment category, the GAC Honda P7 is no slouch compared to some of the hot-selling A-segment SUV models, and even surpasses them in some aspects. The design, which deliberately shrinks the body length while retaining a wide cabin, is highly practical. Difficulty in parking in the city is a common problem, and the shorter body length makes the P7 more flexible and convenient in parking and other aspects, meeting the practical needs of urban family car use.
The rear end is equally eye-catching. The rear of the GAC Honda P7 is concave inwards, with a strengthened uplift at the bottom, and a solid black undercoat covering it. Combined with the support of the wide-body structure, from the intuitive visual feeling, it has a few similarities with the sedan, which can better highlight the weight of the sporty elements. This unique design not only enhances the aesthetics of the vehicle, making it more fashionable and dynamic in appearance, but also improves the safety of the vehicle to a certain extent. The concave tail design can reduce the wind resistance coefficient of the vehicle, reducing the air resistance of the vehicle in the process of travelling, thus improving the fuel economy (for pure electric vehicles, it can increase the range); the bottom of the uplift design can help to improve the vehicle's throughput, so that the vehicle in the face of some uneven surfaces more relaxed.
Stepping inside, the interior design of the GAC Honda P7 gives people a sense of brightness. Unlike the common hierarchical split design approach on the market, P7 focuses on strengthening the heaviness of the centre console. The main driver's section has a light layered design, which is ergonomic and convenient for the driver to operate various function buttons, and also increases the sense of hierarchy and three-dimensionality inside the car. The passenger section, on the other hand, is displayed entirely with a full image at its core, giving the passenger a sense of comfort surrounded by the passenger. This design not only enhances the sense of luxury inside the car, but also allows the driver and passengers to feel more spacious and comfortable space visually.
At the base of the center console, the addition of a horizontal air conditioning outlet enhances both functionality and aesthetics. This design ensures more even airflow throughout the cabin, allowing for quicker temperature adjustments and improved overall comfort. At the same time, it serves as a stylish visual element, making the dashboard appear more refined and upscale.
Even more eye-catching is the waterfall-style dual-screen setup, featuring a 12.8-inch and a 10.25-inch display. Like a cascade of technology, these screens deliver an immersive visual experience. They are not only large with high-resolution displays but also come with anti-glare, anti-reflection, and anti-fingerprint coatings. No matter the lighting conditions, the screens remain clear and readable, making them easy to use for navigation, entertainment, or vehicle settings—enhancing convenience and a sense of technological sophistication for the driver.
The GAC Honda P7’s infotainment system has also been fully upgraded with the Honda Connect 4.0 intelligent connectivity system. This advanced system supports seamless integration with smartphones, smart home devices, and more. With the mobile app, drivers can remotely start the vehicle, unlock doors, and adjust the air conditioning—making it easy to prepare the car even from a distance. Voice interaction enables drivers to control various features hands-free, increasing driving safety. Real-time navigation keeps drivers informed of traffic conditions, optimizing routes and avoiding congestion. This level of intelligent connectivity not only enhances convenience but also brings a new level of enjoyment to every drive.
In terms of intelligent driving, the GAC Honda P7 is equipped with an L2+ level assisted driving system. This includes highway navigation assistance, allowing the vehicle to maintain a safe following distance, adhere to set speeds, and change lanes automatically based on navigation prompts. This feature significantly reduces fatigue during long-distance driving. The smart parking system—with memory-enhanced features—handles parallel and reverse parking with ease, making it especially helpful for novice drivers and enhancing overall parking safety and convenience.
Beyond its smart features, the GAC Honda P7 also excels in cabin design. While the exterior length may not be overly emphasized, interior space is exceptionally well-utilized with an impressive 85.8% space efficiency rate. Passengers in both front and rear seats benefit from ample legroom and headroom. The two-box SUV body structure allows for flexible seat and storage configurations, easily accommodating both passengers and cargo for daily use or long-distance travel.
The seat design is another standout feature. The upholstery materials have been specially treated for enhanced durability and stain resistance, with a dirt resistance index of less than 0.3. Even light-colored seats maintain a clean and fresh look, and any accidental stains can be easily wiped off. This practical and stylish design enhances both longevity and the overall comfort of every ride.
In terms of chassis performance, the GAC Honda P7 continues to impress. It adopts a front double-wishbone independent suspension—a configuration typically found in mid-to-high-end and luxury vehicles. This system excels in controlling lateral forces during cornering, minimizing body roll and improving stability. It also effectively absorbs road vibrations, enhancing ride comfort and handling. Additionally, this suspension setup ensures better wheel alignment and reduces tire wear, extending their lifespan.
Power is another key highlight of the GAC Honda P7. It features a dual-motor layout with one motor at the front and one at the rear, enabling full-time electric all-wheel drive. The front motor delivers 350 Nm of torque, while the rear motor outputs 420 Nm, providing robust performance for a wide range of driving scenarios. Whether accelerating from a stop or overtaking at high speeds, the P7 responds quickly and smoothly. In city traffic, its strong torque ensures nimble maneuvering, while on highways, it provides abundant power reserves for stable cruising.
Thanks to a single-speed electric transmission system, the GAC Honda P7 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. This impressive acceleration not only adds excitement to daily driving but also enhances safety during overtaking or emergency maneuvers. The vehicle is powered by an 89.8 kWh CATL battery pack, offering a pure electric range of up to 650 kilometers. This range comfortably covers daily commutes and long-distance trips without the constant worry of finding charging stations.
In summary, the GAC Honda P7 is a brand-new mid-size all-electric SUV that excels in exterior design, interior features, smart technology, and driving performance.
