At the 2025 Guangzhou Auto Show, Chery revealed two new models under its Fulwin (Fengyun) sub‑brand: the T9L large five‑seat SUV and the A9 pure‑electric fastback. The T9L is expected to go on sale in China in the first quarter of 2026 and employs an “Eastern calligraphy” design language. It measures roughly 4,870 mm in length, 1,930 mm in width, and has a 2,920 mm wheelbase. Chery says the T9L will use its Kunpeng C‑DM plug‑in hybrid architecture and will be equipped with advanced driver‑assist features, as well as Horizon’s Journey 6P compute platform, which the company claims can handle complex road situations through predictive, defensive driving strategies.

The A9, Chery’s first full‑electric model under Fulwin, appeared in a production‑intended form at Guangzhou. The vehicle draws heavily from the earlier Fulwin E05 concept, a model first shown at the 2024 Chengdu Auto Show. The E05 was introduced as a “mass‑production concept” and positioned by Chery at about 150,000 yuan (21,100 USD).

That concept offered both extended‑range (range‑extender) and pure‑electric variants, with a 2,900 mm wheelbase. Its design included a fastback profile, hidden door handles, a closed front grille, a roof‑mounted LiDAR unit, and a dual‑layer LED taillight strip bearing the “FULWIN” badge.

Inside, the E05 concept promised an AI-driven “emotional cockpit” with multiple driving and passenger scenarios (driving, riding, entertainment, safety), along with amenities such as a car refrigerator, digital fragrance system, ambient lighting, and 180‑degree reclining front seats. According to reports, it also featured a high-level driver assistance system with functions such as highway NOA, automatic parking, memory parking, and follow-back reversing.

The A9 shown in Guangzhou retains many of these design cues: the fastback silhouette, semi-hidden handles, large wheels, and a streamlined roof with a sensor housing. While the E05 concept supported both range‑extender and BEV powertrains, the A9 revealed at Guangzhou is presented as a BEV. Chinese media and early filings indicate that other variants under the A9/E05 umbrella may include plug‑in hybrid or extended‑range versions, which could explain Chery’s earlier statements about a 2,500 km combined range. Observers note that this “full‑tank plus full‑battery” figure is not likely referring to the pure-electric version but to mixed powertrain or endurance‑test configurations.

On the chassis side, Chery reportedly uses a CDC adaptive‑damping suspension for the A9, with a front double‑wishbone and rear five‑link setup. Pricing for the new A9 has not been confirmed, but the T9 series (non-L) previously referenced around 159,900 yuan (about USD 22,500) as a benchmark. The debut of these two models not only significantly broadens the Fulwin line but also illustrates how Chery is deploying multiple propulsion architectures within a single sub‑brand.
