By AI, Created 3:10 PM UTC, May 21, 2026, /AGP/ – The AISTALAND GT7, jointly developed by HUAWEI QIANKUN and GAC Group, won the Platinum Design Award at the 2026 Italian A’Design Award. The win gives China’s new-energy vehicle design another global showcase as the GT7 prepares for deliveries in June.

Why it matters: - The AISTALAND GT7’s Platinum Design Award adds global recognition to Chinese new-energy vehicle design. - The award can help the GT7 stand out in the high-end EV market ahead of its June deliveries. - The win also signals growing competition in the intelligent shooting brake segment.

What happened: - The AISTALAND GT7, also called QIJING in Chinese, won the top-tier Platinum Design Award at the 2026 Italian A’Design Award. - HUAWEI QIANKUN and GAC Group jointly developed the model. - The GT7 is scheduled to begin deliveries in June. - More information is available at the company’s announcement.

The details: - The A’Design Award is widely regarded as the “Oscar of European Design.” - The Platinum level is highly selective and goes to around 1% of global entries. - The GT7 is built around a “Future Luxury GT” design theme. - The exterior uses a low-slung, wide-body shooting brake stance with dynamic lines. - The rear lighting design is called the “Wings of AISTALAND” diffuse ambient lighting system. - The cabin centers on the stellar ring diffuser and the “Interstellar Space Cabin” layout. - The interior extends from the central console to both sides to create an interstellar-style texture. - HUAWEI QIANKUN’s intelligent technologies power the model’s AI-based interaction across the exterior, cockpit layout and user experience.

Between the lines: - The award gives the GT7 a marketing boost beyond China and suggests the brand wants to compete on design, not just powertrain or software. - The language around “future mobility” and “born enthusiasts” points to a premium buyer targeting strategy. - The combination of design and intelligent features is meant to position the GT7 as more than a conventional EV.

What’s next: - The GT7 is set to reach customers in June. - Its reception after launch will show whether the design award translates into demand in the premium new-energy vehicle market. - The model’s performance in the intelligent shooting brake category will be a key test for the brand.
