Chery’s 1,240‑mile hybrid claim

Chery opened blind pre‑orders on March 25, 2026 and listed four pre‑sale trims with prices ranging from RMB 139,900 to 169,900 (about $20,300–$24,600). (carnewschina.com) The T9L will be offered with two hybrid battery options that Chery rates for CLTC pure‑electric ranges of roughly 170 km and 230 km, with the larger pack reported as a 32.7 kWh "Rhino H" unit. (autonews.gasgoo.com) Chery positions the package as its Kunpeng Super Hybrid CDM6.0 system pairing a 1.5‑litre turbo with DHT transmissions; MIIT regulatory filings list combined system output near 260 kW, while some press reports quote higher peak outputs for upper trims. (carnewschina.com) The company publishes a CLTC fuel‑consumption floor of about 3.9 L/100 km in low‑battery conditions and describes a CLTC comprehensive range that exceeds 2,000 km with a full tank and charged battery. (autonews.gasgoo.com) Advanced driver‑assist hardware centers on Chery’s Falcon 700+/Falcon 700 stack driven by Horizon Robotics’ Journey 6P chip (roughly 560 TOPS) and a 27‑sensor suite that includes one LiDAR and three millimetre‑wave radars to enable NOA‑style functions. (carnewschina.com) Dimension and utility specs list overall length at 4,870 mm with a 2,920 mm wheelbase, 573 L of trunk space expandable to 1,597 L with seats folded, and Chery says the AWD specification will accelerate to 100 km/h in about five seconds.
