"Chery will fight the new energy market with the momentum of all in. 」

At the press conference of the Fengyun series last year, Li Xueyong, deputy general manager of Chery, said such a thing.

That night, the two concept cars of Fengyun A9 and Fengyun T11 ushered in their world debuts.

But judging from the pace of launch, the first to go on the market is the Fengyun A8, which was launched in January this year with a starting price of 119,900 yuan.

Immediately afterwards, it was the Fengyun T9 that ushered in pre-sale a few days ago, and the new car hit a pre-sale price of 15.99-199,900 yuan.

However, the official also made its attitude clear in advance - the pre-sale orders exceeded 20,000 units, and the overall price will be reduced by another 20,000 units.

Under the gameplay that can be ordered for 9.9 yuan, Fengyun T9 has entered the 130,000-level market, and there is almost no suspense.

As early as a few years ago, the first cornerstone of the Chinese brand's upward movement came from the 10-15 segment compact SUV market.

At that time, it was not surprising that models such as Haval H6, Trumpchi GS4, Roewe RX5, and Changan CS75PLUS sold more than 20,000 units per month.

But with the sweep of new energy vehicles, the phenomenon of collective prosperity in the past no longer exists.

Among them, BYD's "Trident", which is composed of Yuan PLUS, Song PLUS DM-i, and Song Pro DM-i, has completely rewritten the market pattern of this level.

In this regard, Chery couldn't swallow this breath.

In 2023, Chery Group's annual sales volume increased by 53% to 1.88 million units, and its annual export volume reached 937,000 units, a year-on-year increase of more than 1 times.

Thanks to this, Chery Group's annual revenue exceeded 300 billion yuan for the first time, with a net increase of more than 100 billion yuan for two consecutive years.

At present, Chery has the leading position of leading the Chinese automobile market in the first 10 years of the 21st century.

In view of this, Chery is determined to realize the new energy vehicle track.

"Chery wants to be the best world-class hybrid in this era", from the beginning of the launch of the Fengyun series, Gao Xinhua, deputy general manager of Chery, directly expressed his determination.

To this end, the "Kunpeng Super Hybrid C-DM" adopted by the Chery Fengyun series is the best response to the opponent.

Like the Fengyun A8, the Fengyun T9 is equipped with the fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI high-efficiency hybrid engine, which has an ultra-high engine thermal efficiency of 44.5%.

For reference, the 1.5L engine of BYD DM-i has a thermal efficiency of 43.04%, while Geely Leishen Zhiqing Hi· The 1.5-liter engine of the X Hybrid has a thermal efficiency of 43.32%.

Thanks to this, Fengyun T9 achieves WLTC fuel consumption of only 5.2L per 100 kilometers.

In addition, the new car offers a CLTC pure electric range of 120km from the entry-level version.

In the second half of the year, Fengyun T9 will also add a 200km pure electric range version, so the combination is obviously above most competitors.

According to the calibration, the comprehensive maximum range of Fengyun T9 is more than 1400km, but the official further mentions that the actual challenge value is more than 1700km.

Similarly, the Fengyun A8 has a calibrated maximum range of more than 1400km, and in the actual test, the car can also run more than 1900km.

Obviously, "high energy saving" is the core point of the Kunpeng super hybrid C-DM.

It is worth mentioning that the Kunpeng Super Hybrid C-DM has two hybrid transmission systems, one is a single-speed DHT gearbox and the other is a three-speed DHT gearbox.

Among them, Chery's single-speed DHT transmission has a maximum EV efficiency of 98.5%, which achieves a comprehensive system power of 265kW, a peak torque of 530Nm, and the ability to break 100 in 7.7 seconds for the Fengyun T9.

This performance is basically the same as that of Fengyun A8.

As for the 3-speed super hybrid DHT version launched later, its performance data has been further improved to 280kW and 610Nm, and it only takes 4.26 seconds to break 100.

The performance of Fengyun T9 is outstanding, not only in surface parameters.

Chery's pursuit of leadership starts with the "standard of car manufacturing".

Last year, Chery exported more than 900,000 units and accounted for half of the total sales structure, which already shows Chery's popularity in overseas markets.

In this regard, Yin Tongyue further increased Chery's export target for this year - 1.2 million vehicles.

Adhering to the concept of "making global cars", this means that Chery's car manufacturing standards are based on the global market.

"Chery sells well in the Middle East, where the average temperature is 46.3 degrees Celsius, and the extreme temperature is close to 60 degrees, which requires our battery system and vehicles to operate healthily above 60 degrees. 」

"For example, in Germany, many motorways have no speed limit and can drive at speeds of more than 200 km/h, which requires your product to have sufficient speed capability, so we achieved 240 km/h. 」

"China is a vast country, and users have long battery life, so we have achieved a comprehensive range of 1,400 kilometers. 」

Li Xueyong's statement has already demonstrated Chery's attitude towards car building.

Among them, Fengyun T9 has undergone field road tests in Brazil, Germany, the Middle East, Indonesia, China and other places.

At the same time, the new car adopts the global five-star safety standard design, the body of high-strength steel accounts for 85%, under the structure of the cage body, its front anti-collision beam lateral coverage is as high as 85%.

It is precisely because of the increasingly stringent standards for car manufacturing that Chery has achieved a continuous rise in market performance in recent years.

"Chery Group's target for 2024 is to achieve no less than the industry growth rate and continue to grow substantially. 」

"The sales volume of hybrid and pure electric vehicles shall not be less than 1/3 of the group's sales. 」

Chery has already explained to the outside world, "We will start to launch a general attack on new energy with an overwhelming product formation." ”

Chery, you're welcome.

"2024 is a year in which Chery Group's new energy strategy will blossom and come to fruition. 」

At the Fengyun T9 pre-sale press conference, Zhang Guozhong, deputy general manager of Chery, once again released a "you're welcome" tone.

Since entering 2024, Chery Group's new car offensive has continued.

First launched Fengyun A8, then launched Xingtu Yaoguang C-DM, then released the new Zhijie S7, and then unveiled iCAR V23, and immediately carried out the pre-sale of Xingtu Xing Era ET and Fengyun T9, and the very fast Tushanhai T-2 will be on stage.

The concentrated launch of Chery Group's all-round offensive has added more bloody flavor to the market fight in 2024.

As far as the Fengyun series is concerned, 11 new models will be launched within two years, covering the hybrid, extended range, and pure electric markets, covering different categories of SUVs, sedans, and MPVs, covering different markets from A0 to C-segment.

Chery's overwhelming product layout is indeed terrifying.

In fact, for such a dense model planning, Chery has long been well versed in the principle of play.

In the past, like Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8, Chery has made different product and price differentiation through the standard version, PLUS version, and PRO version.

Coming to today's Fengyun T9, the style of play is no different.

The emergence of Fengyun T9 is probably inseparable from the foundation of Fengyun T10.

The source of Fengyun T10 must also be traced back to the earlier Tiggo 9.

Although the Fengyun T10 has a more concise exterior design, the body parameters and interior scheme that are almost the same as those of the Tiggo 9 have shown the close relationship between the two.

A similar combination is the pair of Fengyun A8 and Arrizo 8.

Before the official debut of the Fengyun T10, the Fengyun T9, which has almost the same front face as it, was the first to face the market.

It is worth mentioning that Fengyun T9 has a length, width and height of 4795x1930x1738mm and a wheelbase of 2770mm, positioning it as a compact SUV.

On the contrary, the data of Fengyun T10 corresponds to 4850x1930x1712mm and 2820mm.

It can probably be thought that the Fengyun T10 gets the Fengyun T9 after subtracting the 50mm length and wheelbase.

Such a method has been tried and tested on Chery models in the past.

Although the Fengyun T9 is positioned as a compact SUV, in addition to providing 5 seats, the car also adds a 7-seat layout of 2+3+2.

Among them, the new car provides a one-button folding function in the second and third rows, and also prepares a queen's passenger seat with an electric leg rest, so as to achieve mutual compatibility in terms of practicality and comfort.

At the same time, Fengyun T9, as an entry-level positioning, is also actively aligned with the high-end models of Chery Group.

Following the use of CDC suspension technology by Xingtu Yaoguang, which has a mid-size SUV positioning, Fengyun T9 has also prepared the same plan.

Thanks to this, Fengyun T9 can respond to different road conditions in milliseconds, and improve the chassis vibration isolation effect by 30%.

Although Fengyun T9 follows the same appearance as T10, the former does not directly apply the original dual-screen interior scheme.

The new car chooses a 15.6-inch central control screen + 10.25-inch dashboard, and then with the 8155 chip, Fengyun T9 can be said to present young users with an imaginary appearance.

What's more, this time, Fengyun T9 also came up with a pre-sale price that meets everyone's expectations.

Generally speaking, the final price is often lower than the pre-sale price, and it is difficult to predict how much lower.

In this regard, the official stated its attitude in advance, as long as the pre-sale orders for new cars exceed 20,000 units, the overall price will be reduced by another 20,000 yuan.

Based on the gameplay that can be ordered for 9.9 yuan, the current pre-sale of 159,900-199,900 yuan Fengyun T9, and finally want to enter the 130,000-level market, it can be said that it is a certainty.

In fact, referring to the Fengyun A8, which is also a compact class, its starting price is 109,900 yuan.

From this point of view, even if Fengyun T9 is really sold at 139,900 yuan, the actual pricing level is within a reasonable range.

In this way, can the T9 become a sharp weapon for the Chery Fengyun series to start the market?

At least the attitude given by Chery's top management is, "It must be".

"By the end of the year, we will aim to be second in the hybrid market. 」

"The goal of Fengyun T9 is to sell more than 10,000 units per month, and in the future, Chery hopes to sell more than 30,000 hybrid models in a single month, sprinting to 200,000 units for the whole year. 」

Li Xueyong directly clarified his attitude.

Before that, Yin Tongyue also mentioned, "The goal I said last year must be fulfilled. 」

Chery's unanimous stance has repeatedly emphasized its "unwelcome" attitude towards new energy competitors.

As the largest compact SUV in the market, Fengyun T9 deserves to give everyone a good fight.
