The Chery Fulwin T10 PHEV has been revealed by a government regulator in China. It has taken us by surprise as we assumed that the Fulwin T9 shown last month was the PHEV version of the Chery Tiggo 9, the T10 however seems to be yet another version but is slightly bigger than both the base car and the Fulwin T9.

Further details of the Chery Fulwin T10 were revealed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) including pictures and critical specifications. What we can tell is that the Chery Fulwin T10 has the same 2820 mm wheelbase as both the Chery Tiggo 9 and the Fulwin T9.

Length however is the largest at 4850 mm compared to 4820 mm for the Tiggo 9 and just 4795 mm for the Fulwin T9. Width is the same for all three cars at 1930 mm and the height for the T10 is 1712 mm which is taller than the Tiggo 9 but shorter than the Fulwin T9. It seems that the T10 is being positioned as the flagship SUV of the Fulwin brand.

The Fulwin T10 is available in only five and six seater versions whereas the T9 is a five or seven seater. Buyers have a choice of versions with 18, 19 and 20-inch wheels. There are two separate MIIT listings with one presumably for the base version and the other the higher trim level. The base model weighs in at 1935 kg and is only available as a five seater. On the other hand the higher spec version is heavier at 2028 kg for the five seater and 2069 kg for the six seater.

Power comes from Chery’s Kungpeng Super Performance Electric Hybrid C-DM system consisting of a SQRH4J15 engine with a displacement of 1499 cc and permanent magnet synchronous motors, mated to a 1DHT gearbox. The 1.5T engine is good for 115 kW and 220 Nm while the motor outputs 150 kW/310 Nm. MIIT just list the car as having a ternary lithium (NCM) battery pack from CATL with no further details.

Design wise the car continues the style of the Fulwin range and the front face is very similar to the Fulwin T9 but the T10 uses more vertical decoration on the front grille. There also seems to be an option of a more ICE like open front grille.

The car will likely be shown at the Beijing Auto Show and is expected to list on May 15. Prices will probably be in the region of 180,00 to 250,000 yuan (25,050-34,800 USD).
