In the next couple of years, 11 models of the new series will be launched on the market. Most likely, some of the upcoming cars will appear in Russia.
The day before, Chery held a presentation in its homeland of another sub-brand with a separate emblem; for it they revived a name that is well known to the local public: Fulwin (in Chinese it sounds like Fengyun). This was the name of the first production model of the Chery brand, which debuted in 1999. Later, that car had an heir, and now he is known to the Russians: we are talking about the Amulet. Now, prestigious electrified cars will be produced under the Fulwin brand.

It is stated that 11 Fulwin models will go on sale in the next two years, the range will include sedans and crossovers. The cars of the new sub-brand are promised an E0X platform with an 800-volt electrical system: this “cart” is also used by other brands owned by Chery (for example, Exeed is preparing to launch the Sterra/Exlantix line to the market), and both serial hybrids and full-fledged electric cars can be built on it.
The entire Fulwin line was featured in teasers, but only two upcoming new products were shown live, and even those were presented as concepts, their photographs were published by the local publication Autohome. By the way, Chery itself announced these two models back in September.

The large hybrid sedan Fulwin A9 looks more or less ready for production. The four-door, in turn, grew out of the Chery Arrizo Star show car, which was demonstrated in the spring. The exterior features of the pre-production “nine” are narrow headlights, a “scoreboard” with diodes instead of the usual radiator grille, hidden door handles, a retractable spoiler and large wheels. In the cabin there are separate displays for the instrument panel and multimedia system. The Chery Fulwin A9 sedan also has adaptive shock absorbers and ten airbags.

The second new product is the Fulwin T11 hybrid crossover, and it has more of the tinsel inherent in concepts. For example, the rear doors swing open against the direction of travel, and cameras have been installed instead of exterior mirrors. Other features of the SUV are a cover with luminous slots, head optics and rear lights designed as single dies, and a lidar above the windshield. Journalists were not allowed into the T11 cabin, but it was announced that the cross was a six-seater.

The Chery Fulwin A9 sedan and Fulwin T11 crossover are expected to become production models in the near future. Probably, some cars of the new line will eventually reach the Russian Federation. By the way, just recently the Russian office of Chery announced the creation of the Chery NEV sub-brand, under which we will sell hybrids and electric cars.
