GAC Aion has confirmed that its new electric sedan, the Ray 7, will officially launch in China on November 12, 2026. The company opened pre-sales for the vehicle on October 17, 2026.
There is no information regarding a potential launch in Nepal. The vehicle is not currently available in the Nepali market, and no local pricing has been announced.
Design and Performance
The Ray 7 features a fastback-style design with a low-slung profile. It measures 4,960 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,455 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,920 mm. The exterior includes a full-width light bar, semi-hidden door handles, and a drag coefficient of 0.22.
The powertrain integrates Huawei’s DriveONE electric drive system with GAC’s 28-in-1 thermal management module. The manufacturer claims an energy consumption figure of 9.7 kWh per 100 km under the CLTC cycle.

- A long-range version with a CATL-supplied LFP battery, offering a claimed range of 702 km (CLTC).
The sedan is equipped with 27 sensors, including a Huawei 192-line LiDAR and three 4D millimeter-wave radars. This setup supports driving assistance in urban environments, automated parking, and gate navigation.
Inside, the cabin features a digital instrument cluster and a large floating central touchscreen. Other equipment includes wireless smartphone charging and integrated sports seats.
