Huawei will build a joint model with Chery called Luxeed R7, which will be the second model under the Luxeed brand jointly created by the two companies and will be the first coupe SUV under Huawei's HIMA (Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance) business.

HIMA is set to welcome its first coupe SUV, which is the Luxeed R7, a joint effort between Huawei and Chery, Huawei's managing director and chairman of the intelligent vehicle solutions business unit, Richard Yu, announced on Weibo today.

The R comes from Revolution, which stands for breakthrough and disruption, according to Yu.

The Luxeed R7 will feature a new coupe SUV design with sleek, sporty styling and an interior space that will break through imaginations, he claimed.

Coupled with Huawei's smart technologies, the Luxeed R7 surpasses traditional luxury car brands in terms of product excellence, Yu said, adding that the model offers consumers in the era of smart mobility a new and better choice of coupe SUV.

HIMA is one of the many ways in which Huawei has partnered with car companies, and is the deepest the tech giant has been involved in. The model, previously known as Zhixuan, was upgraded in November 2023 to HIMA.
