A new Chinese brand called Aistaland is building a Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo lookalike with Huawei technology and a starting price roughly one-quarter of the original. The GT7 is expected to debut at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2026.
Aistaland is backed by GAC and joins Huawei's HIMA alliance alongside Aito, Luxeed, Maextro, Shangjie, and Stelato. The GT7 is an all-electric estate measuring 5,050 mm long, 1,980 mm wide, and 1,470 mm tall on a 3,000 mm wheelbase. Those dimensions make it virtually identical to the Taycan Sport Turismo in length, slightly wider, and marginally lower.
The visual resemblance is not subtle. The roofline, the rear shoulder line, and the general proportions follow Porsche's silhouette closely enough that the comparison writes itself.
800V and Up to Three Motors
The GT7 runs on an 800-volt architecture with up to three electric motors (one front, two rear). Based on comparable models in the HIMA alliance, output is estimated between 664 and 1,527 hp depending on configuration. Exact battery capacity and range figures haven't been confirmed yet.
The Price Gap
The expected starting price sits around 229,900 yuan ($33,400). A Porsche Taycan in China starts at 918,000 yuan ($126,000). That's a roughly 4:1 price ratio for a vehicle with similar dimensions, the same voltage architecture, and potentially more power at the top end.
This isn't happening in a vacuum. Porsche's China sales dropped 26% last year, from 56,887 to 41,938 units, prompting dealership cuts. Xiaomi's SU7, SAIC's Z7, and MG's 07 are already circling the same territory. Aistaland is the newest entrant in a field that's getting crowded fast.
Whether the GT7 drives anything like a Taycan is an entirely separate question. Huawei's software and chassis tuning capabilities are proven in the Aito M9, but estate car dynamics at Porsche prices require more than good spec sheets. Full details are expected at the Beijing show in April 2026.
