The boxy Yue 7 – a Denza B5 rival from Chinese brand GAC – will pack a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain with an electric-only range approaching 200km, according to details published online.
While it made its public debut at Auto China 2026 in Beijing last month, key details and powertrain information are yet to be revealed officially but have now surfaced on social media.
A GAC Australia spokesperson couldn’t confirm the Yue 7 for Australia, but the company has said more broadly it’s considering a wide range of models from the brand’s global lineup. It also included the Yue 7 in a recent Australian press release, suggesting it’s a strong candidate.
Pictures posted by Tycho de Feijter on X show government filings in China for the Yue 7, where it’s sold under the Trumpchi sub-brand of GAC.

It could be called the ‘T75’ in Australia, its internal model code.
The post reveals the SUV’s squared-off styling fits over a body 4999mm long, 78-111mm longer than a Denza B5 and 9mm longer than the shortest Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series.
With a 2900mm wheelbase, the GAC sits 2004mm wide and 1933mm tall, making it wider but slightly lower than the 300 Series and close in size overall to the B5.
The post claims an approach angle of 30 degrees and a departure angle of 33 degrees. For comparison, a LandCruiser 300 Series has a 30-degree approach angle and a 24-degree departure angle, though this varies between model grades.
GAC has previously said the off-roader will run a ‘digital chassis’, which according to the social media post is the GAC GMC Thunder 3.0 platform – also referred to as ‘Stellar Power’ – for its PHEV powertrain.
Moving the Yue 7’s 2330kg, this PHEV powertrain reportedly includes a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine making 125kW and dual electric motors for all-wheel drive. The electric motor outputs and total system outputs have not yet been disclosed.
The electric motors are reportedly powered by a battery made by CATL and offered in two different sizes: a 28.3kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) pack and a larger 45kWh version.
Electric range is said to be 116km for the smaller battery and 188km for the larger pack, although it didn’t specify whether this is on the WLTP measure or the more generous CLTC scale.
The Denza B5, for comparison, has a 31.8kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) ‘Blade’ battery with a claimed WLTP range of 90km.
GAC was launched in Australia in late 2025 with three models, including plug-in hybrid, electric, and internal-combustion offerings, with plans for eight vehicles to be in local showrooms by 2029.
While it sells several brands in China – including the Trumpchi brand to which the Yue 7 belongs, plus Aion and Hyptec – the automaker offers all vehicles here under the GAC brand.
The Yue 7 is a different model to the S7 – a Toyota Kluger rival also offering a plug-in hybrid powertrain – which was presented at the brand launch in Sydney last year as a contender for the Australian lineup.
The company has confirmed plans to introduce a Ford Ranger dual-cab ute rival in Australia as soon as 2027, with the possibility of multiple SUVs across its lineup.
