The Fengyun T6 SUV is planned to be officially launched in March with an estimated price range of 120,000 – 150,000 yuan (16,700 – 20,900 USD). The new car can be regarded as the plug-in hybrid version of the Chery Tansuo 06 SUV. Fengyun, also known as Fulwin, is a new energy vehicle brand under Chery.
Positioned as a compact SUV, the Fengyun T6 measures 4501(4540)/1865/1670 mm, with a 2672 mm wheelbase. Notable design elements include a suspended roof design, an exclusive Fengyun 6 logo above the wheel eyebrows, hidden door handles, and petal-shaped dual-color rims.
In the front, the closed grille is consistent with a new energy vehicle, with a Fengyun logo in the center, paired with a split headlight set in a matrix format connected by a black stripe and a large trapezoidal lower grille.
The rear features through-type taillights, two vertical red reflective strips, and a black rear bumper decorated with a silver guard plate.
Inside, the cockpit adopts a similar layout as that of the Tansuo 06 with a rectangular LCD instrument panel, a 14.8-inch vertical central control screen, a three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, rectangular air-conditioning outlets, and a dual color dashboard. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip is expected to power the vehicle operating system. The main difference lies in the center console layout in which the conventional gear shifter is no longer present.
Power comes from a plug-in hybrid system composed of Chery’s fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI hybrid engine, with a maximum power of 115 kW and a peak torque of 220 Nm, and an electric motor, mated to a single-speed DHT. The electric motor has a maximum power of 150 kW and a peak torque of 310 Nm. In addition, its top speed is 180 km/h and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is 1.27 liters per 100 km.
Furthermore, its 18.316 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery is supplied by BYD’s FinDreams Battery, providing a pure electric cruising range of 93 km (cycle condition unspecified at this time), according to Sohu; and a comprehensive cruising range of more than 1,300 km, according to PCAuto. Under DC fast charging, it takes 19 minutes to charge from 30% to 80% in 19 minutes; while under AC slow charging, it takes three hours to charge from 20% to 100%, according to PCAuto.

In 2024, Chery plans to launch five new cars under the Fengyun series. In addition to the Fengyun A8 and T6, the A8 Pro is planned to be launched on March 30, the T9 on April 30 with a price range of 150,000 – 170,000 yuan (20,900 – 23,700 USD), the T10 on May 15 with a price range of 180,000 – 250,000 yuan (25,100 – 34,900 USD), the T8 on August 30 with a price range of 130,000 – 160,000 yuan (18,100 – 22,300 USD), and a facelift of the A8 on October 30.
