Among the many independent brands, Chery is a special existence. On the one hand, everyone praises its technical strength, on the other hand, they dislike its design and marketing level, which can be said to be love and hate.
According to Jiangge, at present, Chery brand has a number of blockbuster new cars are preparing to go, including the upcoming Tiggo 8 PLUS 2.0T Kunpeng version, QQ ice cream, etc., in addition to exposing some models that are being planned. So what kind of attitude will everyone have towards these products? Let's take a look.
1. Tiggo 8 PLUS 2.0T Kunpeng Edition
Type: Medium SUV
Pre-price: 14.19-15.99 million

After the Tiggo 8 is equipped with the Kunpeng 2.0T, the Tiggo 8 PLUS will also keep up. The new car, which is priced at 141,900-159,900, will be officially launched on November 8.

Compared with the regular version, the new car mainly uses a more sporty bilateral exhaust gas at the rear, and the tail tag is changed to "390T" to highlight that this is a Tiggo 8 PLUS with a 2.0T engine.

The interior and size have not changed, the focus is on power, the new car is equipped with 2.0T + 7 speed wet dual clutch, maximum horsepower 254Ps, maximum torque 390Nm, the top model also matched with the timely four-wheel drive. For reference, the price of the Tiggo 8 2.0T model is 13.19-14.49 million, while the pre-sale of the Tiggo 8 PLUS 2.0T is 14.19-15.99 million, which is about 10,000 more expensive overall.
2. QQ ice cream
Type: Micro pure electric
Pre-price: 2.99-4.39 million
Status: Available in November
QQ Ice Cream positioning micro-electric vehicle, currently in the pre-sale stage, the price of 2.99-4.39 million, and Hongguang MINI EV (guidance price: 2.88-4.36 million) highly coincided. It is reported that the current cumulative orders for new cars have exceeded 60,000 units and will be listed in November.

I believe you can also see that the shape of QQ ice cream is similar to the Hongguang MINI EV, its length, width and height is 2980 * 1496 * 1637mm, wheelbase 1960mm, using a 4-seat layout, the two body types and seat layout tend to be consistent.
Compared with the Hongguang MINI EV, the interior of QQ Ice Cream looks a little more inferior. In terms of configuration, depending on the model, the new car will be equipped with a main airbag, ABS, rear reversing radar, reversing image, cold and warm air conditioning (the entry-level version only provides warm air, no cold air) and so on.

In terms of power, Chery QQ Ice Cream is also the same as the Hongguang MINI, equipped with a 20kW motor, with a range of 120km and 170km. In addition, the new car also provides only an AC slow charge interface. Overall, QQ Ice Cream is obviously "remake" according to the Hongguang MINI EV.
3. Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+
Type: Medium SUV (Plug-in Hybrid)
Status: Expected to be available within the year
At this year's Chengdu Auto Show, Chery also unveiled the first Kunpeng DHT hybrid model, the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+. The new car is a plug-in hybrid version of the Tiggo 8 PLUS, and the overall shape is not much different from the fuel version.
The focus is on power, and the new car is equipped with a 1.5T engine + a hybrid system with a front dual motor and a rear single motor. This hybrid can realize 9 modes such as single/dual motor pure electric drive, extended range, parallel connection, engine direct drive, single/double motor energy recovery, and driving/parking charging.
Officially, the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ has a pure electric endurance of 100km, and the fastest zero hundred acceleration is 4.9 seconds, which is 4.3 seconds of the Tang DM-P (2.0T). The fuel consumption of the new car's 100-kilometer feeder will be less than 5L, which has reached the level of Tang DM-i (5.3, 5.5L/100km). It seems to be both performance and fuel consumption, I don't know how this price will be determined?
4. Little Ant Pro
Little Ant is a four-seat micro-electric vehicle owned by Chery, and previously, Chery also declared a Small Ant Pro, and the new car can be regarded as a derivative version of Small Ant.

Judging from the exposed declaration chart, the new car adopts a new style, which is sharper than the cuteness of small ants. Only for such a design, many netizens complained about the sense of old man's happiness.
In terms of size, the Small Ant Pro has been comprehensively improved on the basis of small ants, and the overall block is also ahead of the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV. In addition, the new car will also provide a two-seat layout in addition to the four seats.
The interior has not yet been exposed and is expected to be adjusted based on the current ant. In terms of power and price, the same reference to small ants, its guidance price is 5.99-8.39 million, the endurance has 301km and 408km two versions, and equipped with slow charging and fast charging.

5. New design SUV (Code: X-C)
Type: SUV
Status: Expected to debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show
As early as May this year, Chery released a set of new SUV trailers, code-named X-C. According to previous news, the new car is expected to be unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show.
As can be seen from the trailer, the new car adopts a U-shaped mid-mesh and is designed with split headlights.
The side lines are rich, the body posture is low, and there is a feeling of a coupe SUV. In addition, the tail is equipped with red and white through taillights, which are highly recognizable.
The interior and power have not yet been exposed, but it can be guessed that the car should be a sporty SUV, and the new design may make everyone shine.
6. The new generation of Arrizo (codename: M1E)
Type: Sedan
Status: Expected to be available in mid-2022
In Chery's current sedan product line, there are mainly three models: the Arrizo 5, the Arrizo 5 PLUS and the Arrizo GX. According to the exposure plan, Chery will launch a new generation of Arrizo models.

The exposed information shows that the car's internal code name is M1E, the length is 4750mm, the wheelbase is 2750mm, and it has reached the A+ level, which is larger than the previous Arrizo 7 sold.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with Chery's 1.6TGDI engine, with a maximum power of 145kW and a maximum torque of 290Nm. You know, Chery's 1.6T has been used in SUVs since mass production, and now it is finally considered to be used in cars, I believe many Chery fans will be looking forward to it.
7. Tiggo 9 (Code: T26)
Type: Medium to Large SUV (speculative)
Along with the new generation of Arrizo, the long-rumored Tiggo 9, code-named T26. Not surprisingly, the new car will be positioned higher than the existing Tiggo 8/Tiggo 8PLUS.
In terms of power, as the brand flagship, Tiggo 9 believes that it will also be equipped with a 2.0 engine. As for the price, the current Tiggo 8 series has exceeded 150,000, and the Tiggo 9 should be able to go to 200,000. Of course, with reference to the higher-level Starway Moon (16.89-23.39 million), the Tiggo 9 should be under it.

Write at the end
In general, Chery's new cars are still very material, QQ ice cream has the potential to become a dark horse, and the first Kunpeng hybrid model also hopes to benchmark AGAINST DM-i. As for the new generation of Arrizo and Tiggo 9, it is quite appetizing. And you know, there is no jietu and xingtu brand here, so for Chery's "staying power", everyone can still have expectations.
