On October 16th, 2023, the Chery Tech Day event was held, where Chery introduced the latest technological features of YaoGuang 2025.
The YaoGuang 2025 technology from Chery will be applied to the E0X high-performance electric platform and the super hybrid platform, encompassing safety, energy consumption, space, intelligent cabin, and intelligent driving features.
Firstly, in terms of safety, the new vehicle's structure will use a lightweight space capsule made of high-strength steel + aluminum, a two-horizontal-three-vertical surrounding force structure, active seat belts, remote airbags, and integrated safety technology. The new energy vehicle is equipped with world-class battery safety, including safe battery cells, super waterproofing, crash resistance, extreme heat protection, and high-voltage safety, with round-the-clock monitoring.
Regarding energy consumption, Chery aims to achieve world-class low consumption. For pure electric models, at normal temperatures, the lowest power consumption under CLTC conditions is 11.7kWh/100km, the CLTC longest range is 905km, and a 5-minute fast charge can add 150km. In cold temperatures, the range reduction ratio is below the industry average of 9%. In hot temperatures, the range reduction is below the industry average of 3%. Achieving low energy consumption stems from 56 technologies, including a 0.205Cd low drag coefficient, 30% weight reduction, 800V efficient electric drive, intelligent energy recovery, and an efficient heat pump.
For hybrid models, under WLTC conditions, fuel consumption is 4.2L/100km, WLTC pure electric range is 106km, combined range is 1400km, fast charging from 30% to 80% takes only 19 minutes, and 0-50km/h acceleration is achieved in 3.4 seconds. 72 technologies contribute to hybrid low consumption, including the fifth-generation ACTECO hybrid-specific engine with a thermal efficiency greater than 44.5%, continuously variable super-hybrid DHT hybrid-specific transmission, and three-gear super hybrid DHT transmission. Chery has also conducted development across all speed, temperature, and time scenarios.
In the smart cabin segment, Chery will use the user-customized EEA5.0 electronic electrical architecture service, featuring a 1000TOPS AI-powered high-computing hardware architecture, SOA dual-segment decoupled software architecture, high-bandwidth secure communication architecture, high-speed OTA iteration, and global design. The LION 6.0 intelligent cockpit features a 2.5K high-definition central control large screen, scenario-based HMI, is equipped with an 8155 chip + 5G for faster response, will have 23-speaker full-scenario sound, an AQS air purification system with a CN95 filter, and zero-learning HMI interaction. The LION AI large model voice assistant offers vehicle function tutoring, emotional companionship, an encyclopedia, health advice, and travel planning through the AI large model.
Regarding intelligent driving, Chery's Pilot 3.0 autonomous driving assistance system will achieve urban NOP, ramp interchange, smart courtesy, extreme weather adaptability, memory parking, and remote control parking functions.
Looking forward, YaoGuang 2025 technology will advance in five major areas: Mars architecture, Kunpeng power, Xiongshi smart cabin, Dazhuo smart driving, and the Galaxy ecosystem. The S2ma scalable intelligent Mars architecture, with its wheelbase range from 2500-3500mm, achieves an all-electric chassis, spacious interiors, CTC battery, intelligent distributed drive, and plug-and-play EEA 6.0. The S2ma Chery intelligent chassis CIC 3.0 realizes multi-domain fusion in all scenarios. In terms of drive technology, it has the DHE 6.0 hybrid-specific engine, E-Fuels engine, DHT 4.0 super hybrid gearbox, and intelligent vector dual motor. In terms of smart cabin core technology, it includes LION Melody 2.0 brand sound, LION AI large model 2.0, LION OS system, high-computing platform, international car networking, and Car Share Universe. In terms of smart driving, it possesses Pilot 4.0, achieving urban commuting modes, high-speed navigation driving, and remote summon parking. Drive 2.0 includes Robotaxi, urban high-speed all scenarios, and fully unmanned operations.
Regarding product planning, Chery plans to launch 5 super hybrids in the fourth quarter of this year, 4 premium electric cars on the E0X platform, and within 2 years, launch 24 super hybrids and 15 E0X platform premium electric cars.
