The Chery Fulwin T7 (Chinese: 风云T7; pinyin: Fēngyún T7) is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Chinese automaker Chery under the Chery Fulwin new energy vehicle product line. The model was introduced as part of Chery's expanding Fulwin range of electrified vehicles, which was established in 2023 for plug-in hybrid and new energy products.^[1] Its first model, the Fulwin A8 sedan was available to pre-sale in December 2023.^[2]

The vehicle is also marketed internationally as the Lepas L6 under Chery's export-oriented Lepas brand in 2025 ahead of its introduction in the domestic market.^[3]

Overview

The Fulwin T7 was launched as the Lepas L6 only to be rabadged as part of the Chery Fulwin lineup and launched in China as the Fulwin T7 in July 2026 to fit within the Fulwin series products,^[4] which includes electrified sedan and crossover models positioned alongside the brand's conventional Tiggo-series vehicles. Chery revived the Fulwin nameplate in 2023 for a dedicated range of hybrid and electric vehicles marketed separately from the company's conventional internal combustion lineup.^[5]

The Fulwin T-series forms part of Chery's broader strategy to expand its plug‑in hybrid and new energy vehicle portfolio. The Fulwin range was intended to complement Chery's Tiggo lineup while introducing hybrid-focused variants and dedicated styling changes.^[6][7]

Powertrain

The Fulwin T7 is expected to be offered with electrified powertrains as part of Chery's Kunpeng Super Hybrid and C‑DM hybrid strategy, which has been expanded across the Fulwin product line. The Chery Fulwin T7 was later unveiled in China with the MIIT released photos published on 9 May 2026.^[8]

Chery has increasingly used plug‑in hybrid systems across the Fulwin T-series SUV range, including the Fulwin T6, T8, T9 and T10 models. Automotive publications described the Fulwin lineup as a central component of Chery's push into long-range plug‑in hybrid vehicles in the Chinese market.^[9][10]

Lepas L6

The Lepas L6 is the rebadged export-market version of the Fulwin T7 sold under the Lepas brand. Lepas is a Chery-owned export brand introduced in 2025 for international markets.^[11] The Lepas L6 was displayed alongside other Lepas vehicles during the launch of the Lepas brand, which targets overseas markets including Southeast Asia, Europe and Australia.^[12]

During the launch of the Lepas brand, the L6 as one of the initial SUVs planned for export markets under the new marque.^[13]
