The Buick Electra E7 (Chinese: 别克至境E7; pinyin: Biékè Zhìjìng E7) is a plug-in hybrid mid-size crossover SUV produced by SAIC-GM. It is the first crossover SUV of the China-exclusive Electra sub-brand and is the first to adopt the brand's True Dragon Plug-in Hybrid Pro powertrain. It is the production version of the Electra SUV Precursor concept.
Overview
The Electra SUV Precursor concept was first revealed at Auto Shanghai 2025 in April with the launch of the Electra sub-brand, alongside the Electra Sedan Precursor concept and Electra MPV Precursor concept which became the Buick Electra L7 and Buick Electra Encasa (GL8 Encasa), respectively.[1][2]
The production Electra E7 was first revealed on 8 January 2026 alongside MIIT regulatory filings which revealed some specifications.[3][4][5]
The Electra E7 will be equipped with the brand's Xiaoyao Zhixing ADAS system which is based on Momenta's R6 Flywheel model, along with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8775P SoC powering the infotainment system.[3]
Powertrain
The Electra E7 is available with a debuting plug-in hybrid system called the True Dragon Plug-in Hybrid Pro. It is equipped with a choice of inline-four petrol engines, either a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter outputting 97 hp (72 kW; 98 PS) or a turbocharged 1.5-liter developed specifically for hybrid use outputting 154 hp (115 kW; 156 PS) and 230 N⋅m (170 lb⋅ft) of torque. Both engines are paired with a 221 hp (165 kW; 224 PS) electric motor. Variants with the weaker engine are powered by an LFP battery pack supplied by REPT Battero and have a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph), while the stronger engine is paired with a Zenergy-supplied LFP battery with a 210 km/h (130 mph) top speed.[6] The E7 can get up to 210 km (130 mi) of pure-electric range on the CLTC cycle, and a combined range of up to 1,600 km (994 mi).[3][4][5]
