Dare to carry out the fall test from a height of 31.9 meters, which can achieve the ultimate endurance of 2141.4km with a full tank of fuel, and even the chairman Yin Tongyue also broadcast the high-end intelligent driving of the vehicle, and Chery, who has always been a low-key "science and engineering man", opened with a series of industry's first technical and safety "devil challenge" hardcore, bringing a good electric SUV within 500,000 yuan.
On May 9, the most anticipated model in the new energy market this year, the Epoch ET, was officially launched in Guangzhou. Since the start of pre-sales on April 15, the Epoch ET has "started hot", with large orders reaching 18,397 units as of 18:00 on May 9. Adhering to the original intention of "born for users", the Epoch ET range extension and pure electric double arrows are launched at the same time, bringing more configurations and rights and interests to the market, fully meeting the diversified car purchase needs of users.

Super endurance, 2141.4km extreme endurance challenge demonstrates the real power of "golden range extension".
Chery, which has always been good at engine technology, entered the range extension market for the first time and solved users' range anxiety with its ultra-long endurance strength. The Epoch ET range extender model is equipped with Chery's self-developed high-performance range extender engine, with a thermal efficiency of up to 44.5%, and its strength has reached the highest level in the industry. At the same time, the engine also has excellent fuel conversion efficiency, achieving 3.65 kWh of 1L oil power generation, the best 5.2L/100km WLTC feed fuel consumption of SUV models in its class, and a comprehensive range of 1518 km when fully fueled. As Dr. Gao Xinhua, Executive Deputy General Manager of qirui Automobile Co., Ltd. and CTO of Qirui Automotive Engineering Technology R&D Institute, said: "Star Era focuses on the high-end new energy market, focusing on only three things, rolling up the battery life standard!" Pull up the safety standards! Knock down the threshold of smart driving! ”

From May 7th to 9th, the Star Era ET held the industry's first extended-range model extreme endurance challenge, the vehicle set off from Wuhu, Anhui Province in the state of a full tank of fuel, all the way south through Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province and finally arrived in Guangzhou, the whole process exceeded 40 hours of uninterrupted live broadcast, one shot did not replenish the energy in the end, and the final mileage reached 2141.4km, bringing users a "mileage 0 anxiety" car experience with the hard core power of "reverse false standard".
The maximum cruising range of the Epoch ET pure electric model is 760km, and as the world's first mass-produced model of CATL's super-rechargeable battery, the Epoch ET can achieve 475km of energy replenishment in 11.5 minutes, and it only takes 24 minutes for SOC to go from 20% to 80% in a low temperature environment of minus 20°C. When the vehicle is in the condition of SOC only 20% low battery, it can still run 100 kilometers on the ice and snow road at minus 20 °C and accelerate for 5.46s.
Super safe, Star Era ET successfully challenged the 31.9-meter mid-air fall test
Safety is the greatest luxury! Safety, you can always trust Chery! Relying on Chery Group's security development system, Epoch ET is equipped with comprehensive six safety protections: active safety, passive safety, battery safety, information security, functional safety and electromagnetic safety, to build a global security fortress on the road.
In terms of battery safety, the Epoch ET battery has a 1+8+1 all-round safety system, and has passed the rigorous test that far exceeds the national standard battery safety standards, becoming the first SUV model in the industry to pass the "NESTA six-dimensional electrical safety" certification, breaking through the industry standard ceiling. In the mid-air fall test that just ended on May 6, the Star Era ET "free falls" from a height of 31.9 meters, the vehicle maintains a vertical collision and is in a power-on state, the front of the car and the ground 4 cm thick steel plate overlap 100% positive collision, the instantaneous collision speed is as high as 90km/h, and the collision energy exceeds the industry standard by 3.24 times. The test results show that there is no obvious deformation of the vehicle cabin structure, the doors can be opened, the airbag can be ejected normally, and the battery is not leaking, smoke, or fire, and the strength is a new model of high-end new energy safety.
As a global product, Epoch ET passive safety is built in accordance with domestic and international double five-star safety standards. The new car adopts a new cage capsule 2.0 design, with a body of high-strength steel and aluminum up to 88%, a roof compressive strength of more than 11 tons, and a multi-force transmission path and an integrated door knocker structure design, which can ensure the integrity of the A-pillar, the integrity of the passenger compartment, and the zero deformation of the power battery in high-speed collisions. In a recent car accident, the Epoch ET user was safe and sound after colliding with a large truck at a speed of nearly 100 per hour, and the vehicle airbag was opened normally and the door handle could be opened normally, which can be said to protect the user's safety with strength.
Super comfortable, adhering to the "car is an extension of home" to create a comfortable space
Super comfort is the original intention of the establishment of Star Era. As the first SUV model of the Star Era, the Star Era ET has achieved comfort and hopes to become an extension of home. The new car is positioned as a medium and large SUV, with a length of nearly 5 meters, a wheelbase of 3 meters, and an effective cabin space of 3.45 m³ and a canopy light transmission area of 1.57 square meters.
The seats are equally well equipped with a velvety finish in Nuprima matte leather. With the main driver's luxury ultra-wide audio headrest, 16-way electric floating zero-gravity passenger seat and industry-leading four-way power-adjustable rear seat, every passenger is taken care of in an all-round way. At the same time, the Epoch ET is also equipped with the same level weiyi star motion bar, 23 high-quality speakers + 2880W peak power Lion Melody master audio system and front and rear four windows 6mm double-layer laminated mute glass design, and equipped with intelligent air management, intelligent thermal management system, high-quality and comfortable riding experience.
Super driving control, no fear of wind and rain to enjoy a new experience of leapfrogging driving
The Epoch ET is equipped with a gimbal intelligent chassis comparable to the driving control of million-level luxury cars, with four core technologies: cloud dynamic architecture, intelligent control chassis, efficient braking, and intelligent power, bringing users a perfect experience of stable driving, precise control, and comfortable riding, and can walk on the ground in all road conditions.
The gimbal intelligent chassis adopts the front high-end double wishbone design that can only be found in million-level luxury cars, which perfectly integrates luxury genes and brings a perfect balance between handling and comfort. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with IAS intelligent air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping system, which actively and continuously adjusts the suspension damping in milliseconds, turning the hurdle into a flat level, coupled with a large-area high-strength aluminum alloy chassis, which can effectively reduce the weight of the body and greatly improve the driving comfort.
In addition, the Epoch ET also adopts six-piston fixed calipers equivalent to million-level luxury cars, with a braking distance of only 34.8 meters per 100 kilometers, and a free steering system to achieve a class-leading turning radius, and has strong power performance and the largest wading depth of 700+50mm in the same class, which can calmly cope with heavy rainfall and waterlogged roads, and realize the free movement of all scenes and road conditions.
Super intelligent, Yin Dong personally tested and certified high-end intelligent driving, and has outstanding strength
