Chery Fulwin T9L SUV Launches Starting At USD 18,800

Chery Expands Fulwin Sequence with T9L Market Debut

On April 13, 2026, Chery officially introduced the Fulwin T9L, a new mid-size five-seater plug-in hybrid (PHEV) SUV, to its rapidly growing new energy portfolio. The vehicle arrives in the competitive domestic market with five distinct configurations, carrying an official price range of RMB 129,900 (USD 18,800) to RMB 186,900 (USD 27,100). Positioned as a versatile family vehicle, the T9L aims to capture consumers seeking a balance between high-performance hybrid efficiency and spacious interior ergonomics.

High-Performance Kunpeng Hybrid and DHT Architecture

At the heart of the Fulwin T9L lies the latest iteration of the 1.5T Kunpeng Super Hybrid engine. This dedicated hybrid powerplant delivers a peak power of 115kW and a peak torque of 220N·m. The engine is paired with the DHT260 stepless super electric hybrid transmission, which significantly boosts the system's total output. The electric drive component alone achieves a peak power of 260kW and a robust peak torque of 330N·m, ensuring rapid acceleration and smooth power delivery across various driving conditions.

This powertrain synergy allows the T9L to maintain optimal efficiency whether operating in pure electric mode for urban commuting or in hybrid mode for long-distance travel. According to Chery, the DHT260 system achieves a thermal efficiency of up to 45.79%, with a system combined maximum power of 260 kW, delivering both robust performance and ultra-low energy consumption.

Besides, the PHEV variant delivers up to 230 km of pure-electric range under CLTC, with combined range exceeding 2,000 km. The charge-depletion fuel consumption as low as 3.9 L/100 km.

Lingxi Intelligent Cockpit: 3nm Chip and 23-Speaker Premium Audio

Inside the smart cabin, the Fukwin T9L features the Lingxi intelligent cockpit, armed with built-in 3nm chip, central control screen with Fulwin UI 2.0, supporting Lingxi intelligent agent, full-scenario voice assistant, cross-brand smartphone connectivity, charm scene modes, and microphone-free karaoke.

The refined comfort deliver an experience that sits comfortably above mass-market norms: a wrapped-around center console design paired with a two-spoke multifunction steering wheel, LCD instrument panel, and floating central control screen, delivering a solid tech ambiance.

Other configurations include a 17.3-inch second-row ceiling screen, 256-color rhythmic ambient lighting, 2㎡ panoramic sunroof with electric sunshade, and a 23-speaker AI Boya Sound audio system with 7.1.4 panoramic sound layout, maximum power 1080W. For color themes, it offers Warm Sunset Gold Orange, Ink Wash Azure Blue, and Aurora Purple Realm.

Innovative Rhino Square Battery and Safety Technology

The Fulwin T9L distinguishes itself through its specialized energy storage system, featuring the newly developed "Rhino Square" hybrid-specific battery. This battery utilizes advanced cell chemistry to achieve an impressive energy density of 180Wh/kg.

Safety-wise, an 85% high-strength steel body structure, seven standard airbags, and validation against seven global safety benchmarks build a solid defense for family travel, delivering a dual commitment to intelligence and safety.

Map-free Falcon 700 Advanced Driving Assistance System

On intelligence and safety, the Fengyun T9L features the Falcon 700 advanced driving assistance system, powered by the Horizon Robotics Journey 6P chip's 560 TOPS compute, enabling map-free operation across all domains and covering eight core scenarios including urban, highway, and complex parking.

Final Summary

According to the Compnay, the Fulwin T9L, equipped with Falcon 700 intelligent driving assistance system paired with the Journey series chips, alongside the Lingxi intelligent cockpit, and Kunpeng AI super hybrid CDM 6.0, has made a stunning market debut, racking up 15,658 orders within just 3 hours of launch. We anticipate this impressive start will translate into sustained sales leadership, further cementing Fulwin's reputation as a mid-to-high-level NEV brand under Chery.
