Kaiyi Launches New X7 Trim in Egypt, Booking Opens Tomorrow at EGP 1.285 Million

Kaiyi Motors Egypt has announced a new trim for the Kaiyi X7 2027 model in the Egyptian market, priced at EGP 1.285 million. Booking opens tomorrow. This new trim sits below the current Flagship version but retains the same turbo engine and DCT gearbox.

Kaiyi X7 Specs: 197 HP and 7-Speed DCT

The Kaiyi X7 runs a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 197 hp and 290 Nm of torque. It pairs with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Fuel tank capacity is 60 litres. These figures show the new trim keeps full power even in a lower-priced package.

7-Seat Layout and Exterior Dimensions

The new version offers a 5+2 seating configuration with three rows. Exterior dimensions are approximately 4.71 metres long, 1.955 metres wide. 1.705 metres tall, with a 2.8-metre wheelbase. It rides on 20-inch sporty wheels, a panoramic sunroof, hidden door handles, roof rails, and a rear spoiler. Kaiyi targets families wanting space under EGP 1.3 million.

Interior Features and Safety Tech

Inside, the cabin gets leather upholstery, a multifunction steering wheel, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. A 14.6-inch central screen. Smartphone connectivity and Bluetooth are standard. Other features include a panoramic sunroof, keyless start, digital climate control, and electrically adjustable front seats. Safety kit includes 4 airbags, ABS, EBD, TCS, HSA, EPB, front and rear parking sensors, and tyre pressure monitoring.

Price and Booking Details

The official price is EGP 1.285 million, lower than the current Flagship trim. Booking starts tomorrow through the local distributor. This move comes amid strong competition in the 7-seat SUV segment, where rivals include the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro, Jetour X90 Plus, and MG RX5 Plus. Yet the Kaiyi X7 offers 197 hp at a competitive price.

Competition in Egypt's SUV Market

Egypt's 7-seat SUV market is moving fast. Rivals offer a mix of turbo and hybrid powertrains. Chery prices and Jetour prices range between EGP 1.1 million and EGP 1.6 million depending on trim. The Kaiyi X7 at EGP 1.285 million sits in the middle of that pack, with a strong engine and decent equipment. Will it win buyers? The coming weeks will tell.
