Chery’s Fulwin T9 SUV started pre-sale on April 18 in China under its Fulwin new energy vehicle series, offering a total of four models, with a pre-sale price range of 159,900 – 199,900 yuan (22,000 – 27,600 USD). At the same time, Chery launched a crowdfunding activity in which consumers only need to pay 9.9 yuan (1.4 USD) to order a Fulwin T9. If the total crowdfunding order exceeds 20,000 units, the car’s pre-sale price will be reduced by 20,000 yuan (2,760 USD).
Now that the pre-sale order has exceeded 25,000 units, Chery decreased the Fulwin T9’s starting price to 139,900 yuan (19,300 USD). Furthermore, Chery will decrease the price by another 5,000 yuan (690 USD) if the order volume exceeds 40,000 units before the official launch date (most likely to be Q2 2024).
The Fulwin T9 measures 4795/1930/1738 (1741) mm, and the wheelbase is 2770 mm. Two seat layouts are available: 5-seater and 7-seater.
Five driving modes are supported: HEV, EV, normal, economy, and sport.
Inside, the cockpit is minimalistic, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. There is a three-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel, a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel, and a 15.6-inch 2.5K resolution central control screen. A W-HUD is also available.
Other configurations include 50W mobile phone wireless charging, a built-in driving recorder, a Sony 8-speaker audio system, facial recognition for driver monitoring, level 2 advanced driving assistance functions, and an AI assistant.
Moreover, the Fulwin T9 comes standard with seven airbags. Chery also claims that 85% of the car body is composed of high-strength steel and that the A, B, and C columns can withstand 10 tons of pressure resistance.
The Fulwin T9 is powered by Chery’s Kunpeng Super C-DM plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5T engine and a front electric motor, mated to a DHT. The system’s comprehensive power and torque are 265 kW and 530 Nm, respectively. The entire series has an official CLTC pure electric cruising range of 120 km and a WLTC comprehensive cruising range of 1,400 km. It takes 20 minutes to replenish the battery from 30% to 80% under fast charging. At this time, the battery specification has not been revealed officially.
