Chery amplifies its moves, and in 2024, it will lay out four new energy vehicle series, aiming at BYD and Geely!

In 2023, Chery will deliver 1.88 million units, becoming the third largest domestic car company in terms of sales. Vehicle exports totaled 937,148 units, reflecting a 101.1% y/y increase.

Behind this achievement, the main contribution is Chery's fuel vehicles. This also means that in the field of new energy, Chery has not really made efforts. For this reason, Chery Chairman Yin Tongyue released "cruel words" that Chery will be polite this year and will exert its efforts in the new energy market! So, what new energy models will Chery have this year? Can they be comparable to BYD? Let's have a sneak peek today!

1. Fengyun series

Chery is making efforts in the field of new energy, mainly promoting the Fengyun sequence, competing with Changan Qiyuan, Geely Galaxy, GAC Haobo and other series. Its first model, the Fengyun A8, has already been launched, and its sister model, the A8 Pro, will be launched at the end of March, in addition to five new models this year, including the A9, T6, T8, T9 and T11. Such a new speed is relatively rare in the industry.

Among them, the Fengyun A8 Pro will be launched at the end of March, which adopts a different design language from the Fengyun A8, with a small air intake in the closed grille and a trapezoidal air intake at the lower bumper, which is closer to the design of a pure electric car.

Fengyun A9 positioning is higher than Fengyun A8/A8 Pro, the new car will be equipped with zero-gravity seats, 10 airbags + remote airbags, CDC magnetic suspension suspension, 100 kilometers of acceleration to achieve 5 seconds, pure electric range of up to 200 kilometers, comprehensive range of more than 1400 kilometers.

The Fengyun T6 is equipped with a 1.5T plug-in hybrid system, and the body outline and size are very close to Chery Explore 06, which can be regarded as a plug-in hybrid version of the Explore 06. The new car will be priced between 120,000 yuan and 150,000 yuan, and it is expected to be launched at the end of February.

The Fengyun T8 is mainly 7-seater, most likely the plug-in hybrid version of the Tiggo 8, the price range is expected to be 130,000-160,000 yuan, and the Fengyun T9 has completed the first car off the assembly line at the end of last year, positioning the medium-sized plug-in hybrid SUV, which can be regarded as the plug-in hybrid version of the Tiggo 9, and the price range is expected to be 150,000-170,000 yuan.

In addition, Chery also took the lead in unveiling the Fengyun T11, positioning itself as a large hybrid SUV, adopting a 2+2+2 six-seat layout, and the second row supports lateral and longitudinal movement adjustment, which can realize the NOP urban assisted driving function.

It can be seen that the Fengyun series actually focuses on Chery Kunpeng super performance electric hybrid C-DM, which is equipped with the fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI high-efficiency hybrid special engine, which has a maximum thermal efficiency of more than 44.5%, which is comparable to BYD DM-i, Geely Leishen Zhiqing Hi · X has certain advantages.

2. Star Atlas Star Era series

The new energy series of the Xingtu brand has two models, one is the pure electric sedan Star Era ES, which was officially launched at the end of last year, with a price range of 198,800-339,800 yuan. The new model is built on an 800V high-voltage platform and has a CLTC range of up to 905 km.

The other model, the Star Era ET is positioned as a medium and large pure electric SUV, which will be launched in the first quarter of this year. The new car is nearly 5 meters long, has a wheelbase of 3 meters, and has a five-seat layout. At present, the new car has been declared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the price is expected to be slightly higher than that of ES, about 25-350,000 yuan. In the past, there was the Star Era ES, and now there is the Star Era ET, and the two models will continue to take on the high-end road of Chery Group.

3. Shortcut mountain and sea series

Jietu Shanhai is a new energy product series created by Jietu Automobile. In November last year, the first model of Shanhai's new energy sequence, Shanhai L9, was officially launched, with a price of 166,900-188,900 yuan, positioning a large seven-seat super-hybrid SUV. In terms of powertrain, it is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5-liter hybrid engine and an electric motor, with a pure electric range of 108 kilometers and a comprehensive range of more than 1,100 kilometers.

And this year, Jietu will launch Shanhai L6 and Shanhai L7. Among them, the L6 is positioned as a compact plug-in hybrid SUV, which is the second product of the Jietu Shanhai series. The new car will be equipped with the C-DM hybrid system, and the competitor is targeting the BYD Song PLUS DM-i.

The exterior styling of the Shanhai L7 basically continues the design style of the X70 PLUS, but the front grille and front surround styling have been changed, and the styling design and body size of the two are relatively similar, and the new car is available in five-seat and seven-seat versions. In addition, the Shanhai L7 will be equipped with Chery's third-generation Kunpeng Super C-DM hybrid system, with a pure electric range of 85 kilometers and a fuel consumption of 5.2 liters per 100 kilometers.

4.iCAR

iCAR is Chery Group's first new energy electric brand, focusing on young users, and its products will cover SUVs, sedans and other models.

The iCAR03, the first model of Chery iCAR, is based on the i-MS multi-cube new energy architecture, with all-aluminum girders and an electronically controlled four-wheel drive system, and is expected to be officially launched on February 28. It is reported that since the start of pre-sales in December last year, pre-sales orders have exceeded 11,000 units in less than a month, becoming a highly anticipated focus model.

The second car, the iCARGT, is an electric coupe with a more whimsical design. As can be seen from the exposed patent drawings, the new car is equipped with lidar, hidden door handles, five-spoke blade large wheels, fastback styling and frameless doors, and the design elements are very much in line with the tastes of young consumers.

brief summary

It can be seen that Chery has really made efforts in new energy, and has laid out new energy series products under Chery and Jietu, focusing on the C-DM hybrid system, benchmarking BYD DM-i and Geely Thor hybrid, while Xingtu Star Era and iCAR are respectively in the 20-300,000 high-end and 8-100,000 entry-level pure electric markets, which are two verified market segments.
