Chery has officially unveiled the production version of the new midsize SUV Fengyun T9L, previously known by the internal code E06. The model is set to reach the market in spring 2026 and is positioned as one of the brand’s most technologically advanced offerings. In essence, it’s a large, coupe‑style crossover measuring 4,870 mm in length with a 2,920‑mm wheelbase, focused on comfort, digital services, and hybrid efficiency.The design follows a measured minimalist theme: a closed front fascia, slim lighting, and a neat bumper without aggressive flourishes. In profile, semi‑flush door handles, aerodynamic wheels, and black arch extensions stand out. The rear is defined by a full‑width LED light bar and a roof spoiler, and the clean surfacing underscores the premium intent.Inside, the focus is on screens and comfort. In front of the driver sits a digital instrument cluster and a 17.3‑inch central display with 2.5K resolution. The front seats, featuring a so‑called zero‑gravity effect, provide power adjustment, ventilation, heating, and massage, while the rear row adds electric backrest adjustment along with heating and ventilation. The cabin can convert into a two‑bed arrangement, and the media system supports independent video and audio for front and rear occupants. There’s also an audio setup with 23 speakers and a built‑in climate‑controlled refrigerator, making the cabin feel tailored for long, relaxed journeys.The headline tech is the Falcon 700+ driver assistance suite with a roof‑mounted lidar. It runs on the Horizon Journey 6P chip with 560 TOPS of computing power and taps into 27 sensors, enabling urban and highway NOA with automatic lane changes, intersection handling, and recognition of complex scenarios. On paper, it’s an ambitious approach to assisted driving.Power comes from the C‑DM 5.0 hybrid setup with a 1.5‑liter turbo engine and a combined output of 260 kW. The all‑wheel‑drive version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in about five seconds, and top speed reaches 240 km/h, promising easy, confident performance.
