This audio system features a 7.1.4 panoramic sound layout and delivers a maximum power output of 1080W.
In terms of driving assistance, the entry-level Fulwin T9L is equipped with the Falcon 200 intelligent driving assistance system. Other versions upgrade to the Falcon 500 system. High-end models can opt for the Falcon 700 assistance system, which includes a roof-mounted lidar, a Horizon Journey 6P auxiliary driving chip, and “smart driving blue light” indicators. This system utilises 27 sensors and boasts a formidable computing power of 560TOPS, supporting features such as City NOA (Navigate on Autopilot), Highway NOA, and all-scenario automatic parking.
The Fulwin T9L is powered by Chery’s Kunpeng Super Hybrid CDM6.0 system.
