Hybrids signed by Chery QPower will offer a range of more than 1,000 km. The company is taking really ambitious steps for the new era.
The detailed official statement from the company on this remarkable issue was as follows:: “Chery, the leading brand in China’s passenger car exports for 21 years in a row, continues to strengthen its ambitious product range with new technologies. Positioning itself as a technology-focused brand, Chery increases competitiveness in the global arena with its innovative work. With this approach, Chery also provides significant improvement in consumer confidence. Introducing the Chery QPower architecture at Qatar GIMS (Geneva International Motor Show) last October, the brand revealed its 26 years of power-transmission technology know-how and breakthrough. Encompassing different powertrain systems, including internal combustion engine (ICE) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV), this architecture leverages cutting-edge technologies to further advance Chery’s products and brand. This architecture covers different transportation scenarios of future users and creates an innovative travel experience that meets user expectations.

Internal combustion engine (ICE): The internal combustion version with Chery QPower architecture uses a 2.0-liter TGDI engine. This solution; It includes technologies such as the second generation i-HEC intelligent efficient combustion system, the second generation intelligent thermal management system, an intelligent four-wheel drive system suitable for all scenarios, a full range of ultra-low friction technology and Super-Transient-Response electrical support. With all these solutions, the system promises a powerful and fast usage performance. The 2.0-liter TGDI engine, which has the world’s best thermal efficiency of 41 percent, produces 145 kW maximum power and 375 Nm maximum torque.
With this combination, 7 seconds is enough for the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. This allows the vehicle to have superior performance and superior acceleration capabilities in different driving conditions, including urban roads, highways and mountainous terrain. The system provides an uninterrupted and lively acceleration experience both during takeoff, low-speed maneuvers and overtaking manoeuvres. In addition, the 7-speed wet double clutch transmission accompanies the flawless performance of the internal combustion engine with its smooth and fast gear shifts.
This engine meets the performance needs of consumers in certain markets in some models of the TIGGO family and in mid- and upper-level models of the ARRIZO family. In addition, the internal combustion version is equipped with an intelligent four-wheel drive system developed by the world-famous ZF brand, which offers superior driving performance in different driving scenarios. With the industry’s most advanced all-wheel drive technology, this system offers users a more consistent, confident all-wheel drive experience that is suitable for all driving conditions.
Advanced intelligent four-wheel drive system; It provides superior performance in difficult road conditions, including icy, snowy or wet surfaces. By efficiently transmitting power to all four wheels, it increases the vehicle’s traction and prevents the wheels from slipping. The system provides superior grip and performance on all types of surfaces, including puddles and muddy terrain.
The system offers a maximum climbing angle of 45 percent and adapts to different driving conditions; It includes six driving modes: eco, normal, sport, snow, mud and off-road. Users can also switch between driving modes according to the requirements of road conditions and take their travel experience to the next level.
Plug-in hybrid (PHEV): In terms of plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology, Chery’s Super Hybrid solution stands out with its pioneering 3-speed DHT (Dedicated Hybrid Transmission) and 3-ratio dual-motor powertrain. Chery to confirm the durability of the system; The steep slopes of South America, extreme temperatures ranging from an average of 46.9 degrees to a maximum of 57 degrees in the Middle East, humidity as high as 75 percent in rainy regions such as Indonesia, and a maximum speed of 240 km/h in Germany. passed the tough test.
In its current form, the 3-speed DHT is the first to be used in a Chinese brand with a dual-motor combination. Also DHT; The first solution with the highest number of gears with 9 different modes and 11 ratio combinations. The system is completed by a triple lithium-ion battery pack, smart charging solutions and other technologies. Thus, the system provides efficient and environmentally friendly energy advantages, offering a high-performance, efficient, trouble-free, safe and energy-saving driving.
The PHEV system produces 230 kW of power and 510 Nm of torque in powerful dual-motor and 3-speed DHT mode. It also has the world’s best transfer efficiency at 97.6 percent. 3 gears, 9 modes and 11 ratio technology provides an ideal balance between power, smoothness and economy, providing the highest possible efficiency in different driving conditions.
With all these features, Chery’s PHEV version provides a smooth ride in challenging conditions such as the steep slopes of South America, the high-temperature regions of the Middle East and the rains of Indonesia. Leveraging triple lithium-ion battery lightweight structure, high energy density and Chery’s intelligent management system, the PHEV system provides a fully electric driving range of 75 kilometers and a total driving range of over 1000 kilometers under NEDC conditions.
PHEV versions, including the current TIGGO 8 PRO Plug-in Hybrid and TIGGO 7 PRO Plug-in Hybrid, are hitting the roads in certain markets. These models not only usher in a new era of environmentally friendly driving, but also ensure that an efficient, stable and quality experience reaches large masses. In addition, the fully electric (BEV) version is built on Chery’s aluminum-based lightweight platform, which has a durable and all-aluminum body.
It uses triple lithium-ion battery and three-in-one electric powertrain system and provides high-end energy and smart solution advantages. As China’s leading enterprise in lightweight automotive technology, Chery New Energy pioneered the platform to highlight global lightweight and all-electric technology and individually developed China’s first all-aluminum body and vehicle frame design. Thus, it received over 10 “first in China” titles, including “the first mass-produced all-aluminum body” and the “first integrated body-battery design.”
