Rising Auto, Chinese auto giant SAIC Motor’s premium EV sub-brand, launched its first electric sedan called F7. This brand mainly focuses on swappable battery technology, which makes it a direct rival to another Chinese EV maker NIO. F7, similiar to the brand’s previous model Rising Auto R7, can be bought with an optional swappable battery pack. The range will be reduced from 666 kilometers to 600 km, if the customer will go with the 544-HP performance version.
F7’s base model costs around €31,000 and comes with a 77-kWh battery pack supplied by the SAIC-CATL joint venture called United Auto Battery System. This version can produce up to 340 horsepower. Its CLTC range generously estimated as 576-km. Rising Auto F7 Long Range is equipped with a larger 90-kWh pack with 666 kilometers of range on a single charge.
Fully electric F7 comes with a whopping 43-inch display area. Its operating system is called RISING OS and the infotainment system is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8155 chipset.
